Well I'm off to the west today, although I'm starting in New England, so flagstaff won't be for a few weeks (if I make it that far south) . Two 04 Rocksters hitting the road at the same time. Safe and happy riding kirby

Well I don't know if it's 100% solved, but I mailed it out this morning. You'll have to ask BadtotheBown if it works for him or not. Either way, it's gone and hopefully helping someone with their bike.

So I ordered a rear wheel speed sensor for my 04 rockster from boonstra and it was wrong. Boonstra was awesome about it and refunded me, but said to not bother sending it back as the shipping made it not worth it. Great customer service. Anyways, I got the correct one from BB and now I have this one...

recently made my own luggage racks to which i attached a pair of cheapie bags i got off ebay and a GIVI ripoff top case gotten from JCW. made the brackets from cold rolled 1/2" tube steel. after these pics, i had them powdercoated flat black to match the bike. it comes apart at the top under th...

thanks for the invites guys, i have good news and bad news to update. my friend who was supposed to be coming with me on the trip, hit a deer while we were riding back from a hike right next to me! smashed up his multistrada pretty good when he dumped it and broke his ankle! so unfortunately, he won...

so, its about to start. thanks to all the advice and help from this site, im almost ready to start my cross country trip. i have been thinking about this trip for 12 years and actively planning it for almost a year. my rockster is spruced up, and almost ready to go (waiting on the side bags to arriv...

so i have gotten a givi imitation case for the top mount, but am still trying to find decent side cases. all the system cases i come upon are way out of my budget, which i really regret, but this trip it supposed to last for 4-5 months and every 50$ i spend is another day not on the road. i have fou...

i know i could find it here somewhere if i looked harder, but i hate trolling through old posts how do you do the TB sync procedure? do you need a special tool or meter? im a mechanic by trade and have been restoring cars and bikes for a while so i have everything i should need, just dont know what ...

also, there is a bmw TSB about this, i have an 04 rockster and the light came on after about 2 years, i called the dealership and asked them to tow it over, they said no, its a really common problem, a wire rubs bare by the frame in the wiring and grounds it out, therefor illuminating the warning li...

so a battery isnt rockster specific... but whatever. so i am on my third battery in 6 years, BMW batt's, which as we all know, arent cheap. what is everyones experienve with dry cells or other aftermarket batteries? because im tired of paying this cash this often and want one that will really last a...

thanks for all the help guys, i think im well on my way to finding something that will work. just ordered a tailcase. still looking at the options for sidecases. one other question though (although further input on the orginal question is still much appreciated), where do i get the stock luggage rac...

what are the "system cases" i hear so much about?

oh, and i have also been trolling ebay and beemerboneyard and ibmw.org for a bit with no luck quite yet

hey guys, looking for some advice. i am in grad school and want to take off for the whole summer on my rockster and see the country for a couple months but have no luggage. have been looking around but cant figure out what fits my needs. instead of sifting through all this crap for hours (as ive alr...

any aftermarkets available? broke one off leaving the garage and wondering if i have to get the pricey BMW stock ones again...

doing a long cross country trip next year for quite a while and need some saddlebags. BMW wants all my organs and left foot to afford their bags new, anyone know of good solid reliable (ie not crappy) lockable bags out there? i would need the mounting brackets too. also, the rear upright bag that si...
