Re: A first world problem...

My second is a 2016 Vespa GTS 300 - Great for the city!

I don't need two big bikes - That's why I sold the Electra Glide.

Re: What does the collective think?

I voted for another RT because a 1600 GT was not listed

I wonder if that is my next bike...  ;D

Installed new X-Head Cylinder Guards

I think they look pretty nice.
181 Euros from Nippy Norman.
Easy to install if you have a T50 fitting.
Took five minutes... because I wanted to savor the moment! ^-^

I would say that LC parts are at least 30% more than the same item for other bikes. And what is interesting is the fact the parts fo...

Wunderlich lights are $450 here.

But the description does not mention water proof switch.

Has anyone got BMW fog lights?  Are they any good?

Re: Need LED Fog Light Suggestions

I will be mounting a set of Clearwater Darla lights on my 2016 RT. There are different mounting options, including the ones you choose. I will be using the BMW brackets that the OEM factory driving lamps use. The Darla lights are 25mm diameter and similar in size to the OEM driving lamps that BMW o...

Re: cylinder head protection bars?.

Yesterday I ordered the X-Heads from Nippy Norman.

You might look at those.

Need LED Fog Light Suggestions

I would like to install LED fog lights on my 2016 RT. I read that Halogen lights are less expensive but pull too much power.  Therefore the GIVI S310 would not be acceptable.  They look nice... and the price is good... but they draw too much power. I would like to mount the LED lig...

Just Say Hey

I just wanted to introduce myself and thank you for this forum. I have been riding on and off since about 1980... and have had a few different bikes and scooters. I have a Harley FLHTCU Electra Glide... but parts and service in Germany are expensive. So I thought I would give the R1200RT LC a ride.&...

Re: COME ON GUESTS

I recently registered... Great board - by the way!

I think some people that appear to be guests are actually members that are not logged in.
