More Farkles on R1200R

Post by Echo »

Farkles so far:

Motolights
P3 Skene Lights (easy and clean install for wiring)
Ohlins with rear sock
Akrapovic titanium exhaust
BMW engine guards

That's it for now. Will get a Sargent seat upgrade next year.

Sweet!

I'm hearing a lot about the P3 LED light system. I think that's next for my machine.

Echo - your bike looks great!!!!

Can i ask where you got the ohlins SOCK???
After a good nights sleep - i decided not to get a rear hugger.

Though i may end up feeling a bit guilty covering these beautiful ohlins with a sock. They have a right to be shown off to the world :mrgreen:

Regards,

I've installed Motolights on my other bikes and they are pretty easy to install but I had the dealer put them on the R12R. The Motolights were installed for free when I purchased the bike and lights from the dealer. It uses the Touratech Canbus helper (you can also use the Centech AP-1, etc).

The instructions are quite clear and the Touratech ( or Centech fuse box) keeps you from screwing up the Canbus. And Motolights has great customer service.
