R1200 trans fit onto an R1150?

Post by macx »

Looking for a deeper first gear to make things easier on the clutch in my hilly country and with my frequent passenger, plus a little shorter spread between 5th & 6th so I don't have to either buzz it 3600 to 3800 at 60 mph or keep shifting back & forth between 5th & 6th. The bars buzz pretty good in the upper 3k range but don't down in the lower 3's. Also, I rarely get out on the freeway, so hours of 80 mph is a non-issue. An Adv trans would fill both wants. Have found one from a real lo miles R1200, don't know if they interchange. Anyone?

Thx!!

Thanks Mike! Just emailed him.

Now to convince my wife I really need it!

Actually, after our ride out in the country 2 lanes and in and out of steep and uneven driveways,
and me having problems getting going without tipping us both over, just maybe! ;-)
