Re: Upgrading Lighting for R1150 R
I've just been through a lot of this with my bike, so I'll share my experiences... I started with a pair of Denali D2 LED Driving Lights from Twisted Throttle, which I am very, very happy with. They are small, bright, EXTREMELY white, and I think compliment the bike quite nicely. http://www.twistedt...

New Foot Peg Rubber!
Came back from a ride yesterday to find chewing gum, of all things, stuck on top of my rider's left foot peg! After cleaning off my boot :evil:, I proceeded to take care of the peg, only to met with the following surprise: my foot peg rubbers were VERY worn!! I guess I had never inspected them that ...

Re: Dark Ferro Touch-Up Paint!
Paint pen(s) from PaintScratch.com arrived in today's mail, and I am THRILLED to say that after performing a quick test, the Dark Ferro (Metallic) is about as close to a PERFECT match as possible!!! Tonight, if I have the time, I will shoot a few pictures of my minor touch-up efforts and post them h...

Re: Mounting 1150 headlight ring
Pete, the ring is supposed to "hook" into the housing at the top, and the screw and nut secure it at the bottom. If no one else posts photos before I get home, I'll put some up for you.

Dark Ferro Touch-Up Paint!
Well, GREAT news for those of us with bikes featuring Dark Ferro (BMW Color Code 488), who, up until now, have been unable to obtain touch-up paint!! While BMW's own recently introduced touch-up pens COMPLETELY overlook this much-used color, I found a solution... After doing some research, and then ...

Re: Cool Weather Riding Mods
Xdot, I have the GS hand guards on my Yellow Jacket and they help a bit, but plenty of cold air still ends up hitting the backs of your hands - no avoiding it. http://monomoyantiques.com/R1150R.jpg 250 mile ride yesterday was in the mid-50's. Heated grips help, but it was still chilly. Next purchase...
