Has anyone seen the sidecases on the new r or rs. I really like the cases on my '07 r. Photos of the new cases are concerning.

Hi everyone,
I just received a set of Wunderlich bar risers for my 07 R12R and am wondering if there is any problem with the clutch and brake lines when installing the risers. Anyone have them and can comment?

Thanks,

Hi all, has anyone tried Bridgestone 023's? I needed a rear Metzler Z8 at 8000mi and had cord showing on the left side of the front at10,000mi so I'm trying the 023's now.

You are absolutely right. The Shenandoah valley is great riding and I spend a lot of time riding in W.Va.

I am on rt.33 near Harrisonburg.

Hi Don, will you be on I81 Thurs. morning?

Check out the free Android app "Diablo Superbiker" by Pirelli. It uses your phone gps to track your route on Google maps and complies data such as max speed and max lean angle. Heed the warnings though as this thing can get you in trouble if you try to best your last ride. I have a usual r...

Hi All, has anyone rented an R12R in California to ride the Pacific Coast Highway? It's on my bucket list of rides but riding from Va. to California for a ride is not in the cards. Another crazy idea, has anyone shipped their bike to and from California?

thanks

M24joe, do you have additional info on the led bulbs?
Thanks

Hi all, when setting the time after unhooking the battery for a fuse block install I inadvertently discovered a bunch of code numbers for what I have no idea. One line of 2 digits, one line of 3-4 digits, and one line of 6-8 digits and a letter of two. I scrolled through several screens of these num...

Mogu83, the coating cost $215 last Dec. plus shipping which was $34 from NC to Va. I do not recall my shipping cost to NC. My pipes look just like BigEasy's.

As far as ceramic coating I highly recommend Jet Hot in North Carolina. Very high quality work and the header looked great when returned. They stated they normally coat the outside and INSIDE of any pipe but could not coat the inside of the R12R one piece header because of the built in catalytic con...

HI folks, what is the best source of a switched signal for installing aux lights on an '07 R12R? Tail light? I've heard of a wire on the diagnostic plug to use. Any thoughts?

Thanks

Hi all, has anyone found an anti-fog treatment for a face shield that actually works? I haven't. After being out early this morning I'm back in the search for a solution.

thanks,

Thanks very much guys. I'll give it a try.

Hi folks, I've heard a couple of good comments about the Airhawk seat cushion. Does anyone know which size fits the R12R stock standard height seat?

thanks

Tried posting photos from Picasa but had comment that stated " it was not possible to determine dimensions of the image" ??? Is there a size limit to posting photos? Anyway the photos are just like BigEasy's earlier in the thread. Maybe a bit more shine. They offer "sterling silver&qu...

I'm running M3's on the bike and need a new front. The local dealer has an " E " designated M3 on hand designed for K series bikes. Metzler doesn't recommend it for the R. Does anyone know what the " E " designation is ? Would it be a problem on the R ? Another question, does any...

Well I did it over the winter. Sent the header to Jet Hot in NC. Returned in a week or so and looked great. After ^200 mi. it looks just as it did out of the box. My buddy behind me said it smelled like a bunch of dead animals for several miles then cleared up. Jeff at Jet Hot was a pleasure to deal...

Well I have considered the Scout but it's a little too rounded for me. I prefer a more angular look. Thanks.
