New Rocksterr owner has questions

Post by sssnakehunter »

Hi,

Picking up a 2004 Rockster in a few days. I want to get a GPS mount for the handlebars. What diameter bars do these have?

Thanks,

Jay

Sorry to get here late. Careful measurement might reveal typical Euro handlebar diameter of 22mm. The difference between 7/8" and 22mm doesn't matter much for an aftermarket GPS bracket, as you can always shim the smaller Euro bar with a wrap of electrical tape. But note that the OE BMW handlebar controls do not fit the larger 7/8" size without modification, either reduction of bar diameter in the clamping areas, are machining of the master cylinder clamps themselves.
