Now that you have found your magic screen! Why not have it perminately on the front page of the web site along with the magic seat so no one will have to ask about a screen or seat again.
That or to stop 85% of the crap that goes on this site asking about screens and seats!

Have to agree with you bill!
It's a nice bike but what are you getting over and beyond our bikes?
I've only put 8,000km on mine hardly enough to trade it in!
My bikes white could go the reverse paint job and have a black strip!

Welcome aboard mate from a fellow Aussie 8) What part of Oz are you from? If you have any questions about seats/windshields you better get in touch with Kieran from South Oz, he loves these topics :badgrin: . btw, great looking airhead mate. Welcome, nice bike! I'm not going to get myself upset tod...

Yah well don't poof it up like most on here do! I have a white one too and I think there the best colour! Like the burnt orange one on here but that's a pro job. This bike is as good as you are. If you can't ride well it will follow you! Have a look at my posts and you will see my bike. Good luck an...

I pulled the GPS plug out on mine last night. Remove the plastic panel on the front of the tank. Facing the bike, it's down the left side, zip-tied to the front frame. Needed a flashlight to see it and some needle-nose pliers to reach it. But, on Ozzie bikes, isn't everything backwards? :lol: Left-...

I bought a Ztecknic bar mount and there water proof wallet that takes a GPS. Both items cost me $118 with shipping. I bought a $139 4.6'' screen car GPS with FM radio, mp3, blutooth, touch screen, 3.5mm head phone jack, and will play video and stills through it's screen from HD card. What's that all...

PM sent Don't hold your breath!

Hay call me stupid but i have know idea what you are talking about! Is this some USA thing?

Do you have any photos of the bike and the crash bars. I am thinking about buying the SW Motech bars and would like to see how they held up. Roger L Don't you think that putting the crash bars on restrict ground clearance? That may have been the cause of this guys accident. I know if I had them on ...

Same sent PM

Cheers

the R12R goes where I point it, no matter what the wind. Unlike the K100RS!!! Absolute poo in a side wind. One of the sale pitches for this bike was that the fairing was designed in a wind tunnel. Maybe for a front on wind but the side wind is a different story. Back in my late twenties I was riding...

It takes more than a broken arm to stop a bloke from having a beer!

if you just spent a kilobuck to reduce the weight of your motorcycle by 0.25%, you want people to know! Geeeeesss! that makes a lot of sence coming from a Scientist!! Why don't you use your education and give the people fact rather than your mock! Look I'd like to appolagize, probably had one to ma...

I agree with you Kieran---I almost like my R12R more than my S, BUT---I still love the insane second wind that sweetie gets when it hits 6300 RPM. Plus, it has that more 'raw' race bike feel (non linked brakes, ABS can shut off, higher seating position). It's kind of like my Ferrari in the garage--...

Wah, a new topic, windshields!
What makes that now, 1001

seen it some time ago but still get a laugh

Rolando33, I had a R12S for about 18 months. I blinded it out with ever carbon fibre part possible. The carbon wheels I have on my R12R wore for the R12S. What happened was I put my R12S in to have a heated grip that was out with BMW under service warrenty. They lent me a R12R for a loan bike. From ...

Maybe someone can answer this on carbon fiber. I have three bikes in the garage that are 30+ years old they are in good shape and just as serviceable as when they were new. What is the service life of carbon fiber when exposed to sunlight for years? I've seen carbon fiber body parts a few years old...
