Re: R1200R PHOT0 GALLERY
Do you notice the lack of mass in the wheels (and therefore gyroscopic stability) is reduced with your wheels?
ie. is it still 'rock steady' at speed?
Looks sweet BTW. Not jealous.

Re: R1200R PHOT0 GALLERY
The bike does spin up quicker due to less weight in the wheels.
The bike is just as stable.
One thing though, because of the weight loss the bike now steer even quicker, it's real sharp.

...and Motorcycle_Girl is having a sneak preview to let me know if the first draft is OK

I had to wait a painful month and a half between selling my RT and the arrival of the new R. Not even 24 hours into ownership, but I foresee no regrets. I believe the smile is permanent!

Very nice bag design. Is there still a lot of vibration in the mirrors?

Yes, nice bags and mirrors. Very sharp.dumfounded wrote:I had to wait a painful month and a half between selling my RT and the arrival of the new R. Not even 24 hours into ownership, but I foresee no regrets. I believe the smile is permanent!

Re: R1200R PHOT0 GALLERY
Thank you for the compliments! I didn't ride with the stockers before replacing, but thus far I am very pleased with the mirrors. They are very stable at highway speed and the blue tint works great at night by reducing headlight glare. So far, they appear to be more stable than the mirrors on the R12RT. Only time will tell if they were worth the price...Rrider wrote:Very nice bag design. Is there still a lot of vibration in the mirrors?

If you can tell the difference between a police cruiser and a taxi in them, they'll pay for themselves in no time
Hmmm, that blue stemmed version would look SMASHING on the Biarritz blue model... what do you think Celeste? Almost the same color, I think.

Re: R1200R PHOT0 GALLERY
Sure thing... One of my only gripes about the R12RT was the side cases, and of course the OEM jobbers for this bike are the same. I thought I'd give these a try as they were the only top-opening cases I could find with a mount specific for our bike. They're called TRAX ALU-BOX and are made by SW-MOTECH. The cases can come right off and the mounts are removed in about a minute with minimal evidence left.Nick S wrote:Patrick

Those bags look great. Are they the 37 or 45 L?
Thanks again.

A different paint scheme with "S" wheels. I like it. I like the head lights also. Just for a change. I wonder how it would affect the "Wind Noise and Buffeting" thing?

Re: R1200R PHOT0 GALLERY
I love the headlight! The paint scheme and the K1300R headlight make it look faster. I think you'd have the same problem with buffeting though... More aggressive handlebars would get you lower and into the proper position for that screen, but make for a darn uncomfortable ride on the long haul...celticus wrote:A different paint scheme with "S" wheels.

The K front end helps cover up the cut out at the front of the tank. Thats what I was saying.
