BMW R1200R R1150R/T F800 K1200R R1100R/T R1250R RnineT Message Board

Saw this on the web... it looked good to me. Although if I got a ramp and used it a few times the ramp might not be to bad.

Have a BMW sport shield.I got one first to protect the instrument cluster and discovered this shield let me ride at freeway speeds and up without having a death grip on the handlebars. I have no buffeting. You probably know BMW offers a short shield with the standard frame for shields. The frame for...

.... I don't use my brakes so engine braking helps.... David, An interesting choice... why? Good brakes and hard braking make for faster times through corners. Pads and rotors cost hundreds of dollars; an engine costs thousands. My riding time is not great. Five years and 25k miles. However I ride ...

Just a thought... seems like a h11 will fit a h9 socket. Perhaps switching the socket (fixture) might be do-able. If a good connection could be made.???

I have a Shoei Quest and it was noisey until I found the video websterize posted. IMHO...Now at freeway speed the sound is like a windy day. I often ride with the visor open to the first click, at freeway speeds and without ear plugs it's very loud and howls. The plugs take the high frequency out. F...

Hi.. I have considered adding resistors to a led light and have looked for a light with a pattern visible from side and back. I found leds claiming to have resistors built-in and compatible with canbus systems.??? The link shows one of many on ebay and there are others sold by manufactures. It seems...

Steve... I'm amazed at the redundancy of the motorcycle-like sculpture at the Art Park.

Hi Don C.,
Thanks for adding the color to the trim panel. It is exactly the touch I had considered. Looks good.

I like all the restyle pictures... the mix of orange and red looks good. I like the one shown here best. A change in the paint I had considered might add to the one below. The lateral trim panel has a seam just under the edge. I thought painting my bike orange around the sculpted area where the BMW ...

IMHO seems like some kind of wedge on each side could be fashioned to tilt the shield back. Something akin to the mad stad set up using the plastic material like the Don C. block.

qfman.....the low and the high beam are the same.?? The plastic surrounding the bulb must be well thought out. Good job for BMW. My dealer (both where bought and where serviced) adjust the headlight so when the bright is turned on the tree tops light up. Must be a mountain / German thing. Harry... f...

I did a search for a post that pointed to a single replacement led lamp and couldn't find a real number or a specific place selling one. I can buy an led 1157 from autozone but I think the autozone light would cause a "lamp" error. Who sells a canbus compatible led light. There are quit a ...

Here is another one and it looks like it has all the nuts and bolts ... sixty dollars.

I have read about putting or stuffing gas into our tanks that ...filling the tank to its max will leak if put on the side stand. Can't remember the thread. The post mentions he stuffs the tank and immediately goes for a ride. Stuffing the tank and letting the bike sit was not what he did. And rides ...

You are right Harry. The bulbs in the link above are duel filament. I selected the wrong one of two. The link below is for a single filament bulb. I gotitthistime. http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com/1/4/70/21060/ITEM/K-S-Technologies-Replacement-Bulb-for-Marker-Light.aspx dbrick...one of the revie...

Before I found these bulbs I decided to go with Weiser Led turn signals. I reasoned the cost plus shipping would almost pay for each side. http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com/1/4/70/21060/ITEM/K-S-Technologies-Replacement-Bulb-for-Marker-Light.aspx These are cheap enough and if the right bulb sever...

Looking at the part number 11 11 7 717 743 at max bmw ..they show the different hardware fit the same plate. If I read you're post properly Harry, only one fits my bike.?? Following are two pictures of the underside of my bike. Please disregard the bugs. It appears as if either will work. Your thoug...

The plate listed on ebay has a part number of 11 11 7 717 743 and max bmw shows that part number uses both hardware listed above. I have an email in for the seller. I asked him for which year the plate came from. I'm going to go check the under side of the boxer's block to see which hardware I need....

I just bought a skid plate from ebay and paid forty including shipping. It came in yesterday and have not picked it up yet. The picture I saw from you're post looks better than the picture I bought. Having paid the forty dollars I then asked if the bolts came with it. Stupid me. There are four bolts...

My turn signal light is out. I can buy a light for BMW from one (ebay) to four dollar (a dealer) and I'll have to pay shipping. What is an automotive light bulb for the turn signal light that a part house might sell? The actual part number is 07 11 9 905 337.
