BMW R1200R R1150R/T F800 K1200R R1100R/T R1250R RnineT Message Board

I had a scratch on mine and had a body shop look at it. They told me it is hard to find a flat black that would hold up to gasoline. I have done the sharpie but it seems to wear off soon. I just leave it the way it is now. I checked BMW's electronic catalog a few years ago and they had touch up penc...

Same thing happened to mine. I was with a couple of other riders and out of town so we had to rig somthing. Had them go to a hardware store and pic up some copper tubing, a a pipe cutter, and a couple of hose clamps. Cut out the connect and stuck the tubbing up both ends of the hose and clamped it. ...

I thought last time it was posted on here there was mention of the diff. locking up. I think that was just rumor too.

Hey DJ, do you have any picks of the new g650x.

I too think my next bike might be an F800. Wait and see when they come stateside.

Has anybody tried the new 1200gs handguards? Will they fit?

on the BMW website.

Can the 1" rise and 1 1/4" set back be used on the Rockster without any cable problems?

Oh yeah, If you decide to get the k1200r I would like to be your friend.

If I had to pick between the 3, I would pick the r1150r. The riding position would be a little more relaxed.
Like Riceburner said, a 600cc Jap bike would probably fit the bill. Cheaper, lighter, and still has enough power to hang around.
FZ6 is another choice.

I tried motobins and they emailed me back and said that they don't have that one(962) listed. I'm waiting on a reply from balderston.

I checked availabilty on the flat black # and there is none in the states. Is there a web site or a dealer we can order that from.
From my understanding there wasn't going to be any more touch up paint in flat black over here.

Are you riding in circles?

I can't find this thing anywhere, not even on BMW of Sant Cruz's website. Can someone post a website where you can buy this thing.

What's wrong with wet farts?

You might want to talk to CH Racing M900. He blackened out his rockster and PD coated the wheels. Some pics here

He even blackened the exhaust.

Where did you get it and how much?

Sounds like you were in the "zone" like zweige wrote about in "Total loss".

Now you can get an f800s.
