What year k1200rs should the mirrors be from? and is there any modification that has to be done to make them fit the R1150R
Thanks Jerry

Thanks, for the info what do they cost?
Jerry

I've done a search but can't seem to get the answer I'm looking for. What type of mirrors fit the R1150R to replace the stock micky mouse mirrors I'm looking for better visibility.
Thanks Jerry

I, just removed both front and rear wheels because I needed some new tires Question? what type of grease and how much do I use on the front axle when I reinstall the front wheel?
Thanks, Jerry

I'm thinking about doing my own tire change on my 03 R1150R and was wondering has any one had any experience with this product. Sounds interesting and could be something to consider thanks ..............Jerry

Hi again, Question if I just wanted to replace the cat ( to reduce weight, cost and improve sound)and keep the stock exhaust could I use the staintune collector? So later I could upgrade the silencer if I wanted. Any recommendations would be welcome.

Jerry

Thanks, for all the imput if I pull the trigger on an exhaust it will be the staintue. btw Shake how does your R sound now with the staintune......Hirsch

I have been thinking of going with an after market exhaust system. Object is to try to loose some weight off the bike, and maybe get some better sound. Looking for some imput on which exhaust system to go with. I have been looking at Staintune, Remus and Two Brothers any advice would be welcome........

Thanks for all the imput I'll be ordering a set next week...............Jerry

Did you have any problem with the length of the cables and wires using the 1 1/4''
Jerry

I thinking of buying a set of bar backs for my R. Looking at the
moto-tecniques. Two sizes available both have 1'' rise however different set backs. What seems to be the setback most riders perfer 5/8'' or
1 1/4''?
Thanks ..........Jerry

I'll check the tire pressures, and the shock adjustments and see how that goes. I have only 4700 miles on the bike. I wasn't complaining about how my bike handled. I was just so impressed with the lightness, and handling of the 1200 I was curious about how to improve the 1150's handling. Thanks for ...

I just got to test ride a R1200R at my local BMW dealer's open house over the weekend what a sweet ride that R1200R is I didn't want to get off I really like the way it handles over my R1150R my bike now seems like the front end is so heavy yea I know the 1200 is lighter and has other improvements a...

Hi I just stopped by my local BMW dealer and asked these questions of the sevice tech. When will my 03 R1150R with 4500 miles stop using oil? should I switch to syntheticat the next oil change at 6000 miles or wait untill it stops using oil His answer to the first question was oil usage depends on v...

When I purchased my 03 R last October from an owner in Cincinati I tied it down in the back of my pickup to bring it home to Pittsburgh just like it shows in these instructions and it worked great the bike never moved this method allows the front end to act normally like if it was on the rode and as...

Bill, Thanks for the explaination I'll keep an ear open...............Jerry

So let me get this straight you only need to do the upgrade on the left side? and only if your engine is noisey? I have an 03 with about 4500 miles. Mine seems pretty smooth and quite to me. Should I do up grade?
I always go by the thought if it's not broke don't fix it................Jerry
