First time I've seen this thread.. Kudos for a job (very) well done. How about a youtube link of the bike in action.

I was looking around for the MV Verholen risers for an R12R. Can't seem to find them anywhere. Do they exist and where can I find them? Thanks in advance. I have a pair for sale - see photos and contact info in the Buy / Sell section. $200 shipped in CONUS (which should save you about a hundred buc...

Lots of much sought after R12R P&A in the Buy / Sell section.

He's leaving in two weeks. You obviously haven't priced one thru BMW..

Muncher, I have one that I might be willing to sell.. I took it off at the time of purchase. Make me an offer I can't refuse.
I'm in eastern NC.

Welcome aboard, great review. I had a GS - loved it. Sold it for medical reasons (wasn't sure I was going to be around to ride - but here I am!). Since I'm not an off-roader, when the time came to replace it, I knew I wanted a boxer Beemer, but wasn't sure which one. I demo'd a R12R - more than once...

I'm waiting on a bid for custom made spoked wheels... in white of course.

Of course.. You might be able to get them permanently sealed by Woody's.

ITS A SAD LONG STORY-- ANYBODY OUT THERE GOT A LOW PROFILE SEAT FOR SALE-- MY SEAT GOT RAN OVER--AN TOTALLY DESTROYED-- IM LOOKIN LOW PROFILE STOCK R1200R.... TALK TO ME.. THKS I have a nearly new "standard" height seat that I bought here to send to Sargents to get worked that I've since ...

Whatcha gonna replace 'em with?

In addition to the upright seating I also want to add a windshield. I am 6'1" with a 30" inseam. What shield should I buy? Oh, boy.. where were you two months ago?... ;) We've beat the windshield horse until it's no longer recognizable. What works for me might not work for you, but the co...

Do some research, you might surprise yourself.. or maybe not. Closed minds normally stay closed.

Brian, Great post.. and great info. I may just bite the bullet and try one, even tho' I am pretty happy w/ my 20" Cee Bailey's screen

I don't remember seeing any Harley bashing on THIS forum. In fact I think that I once mentioned that IMHO a black Road King with the hard bags and WW Tires on spokes is the prettiest bike on the road. BUT: First let me say that I also have a cruiser bike and have ridden for a bunch of years (and st...

So.. lessee here.. I have a '02 Harley Road King that I've never had a recall on, yet this makes the second recall on my '07 R1200R which I haven't owned for a year yet.

Yup, that sho' does justify all that Harley bashing that I read about in so many m/c forums..

I use one, and frankly, it helps - for a while. But (just my .02 cents, of course), the stock seat is so bad that after 200 miles - with the sheepskin in place - my arse is screaming for relief. I recently bought a lightly used stock R12R seat, my intention is to send it to Sargents to get a custom ...

We are so doomed.. people everywhere refuse to accept responsibility for their actions..

Two words, "pain" and "suffering", and remember this quote, "I never have a good day".

J/K, or maybe not.. I've about had it up to here with inattentive cage drivers.

The turn signals do hit the tank at full deflection: http://i115.photobucket.com/albums/n302/peter_anon/DSC00133.jpg Tell ya what, if that was mine, I'd grab my handy-dandy Dremel and trim down those turn signal levers before I'd let 'em anyhwere near the tank. As hard as you're going to try not to...

Sho' am glad I'm riding a '07...

It's going to be a tight fit. I just went out and measured mine (I too, have Verholen bar-backs), and with the mirrors and windscreen removed, I'm just over 46.5 inches. Without the bar backs, I'd probably get a half-inch, but that wouldn't leave much room for maneuvering the bike as you load it. :-k
