BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

Definitely available, had mine changed after a few days.  It's a trade off for comfort, that seat is hard but I have a much better footing, especially on soft surfaces like gravel.  I can send you the part number if your dealer insists on saying no. 

Read this thread http://www.bmwlt.com/forums/rt-series/157098-40-5-psi-front-tire.html Thanks Casbar!  I guess I will try this until it's time to park the bike for winter, hopefully I can stop the progress going forward otherwise I will have to buy a new front in the spring. 

After 5000 kms on my RT I am noticing that my front tire is starting to show signs the PR4's cupping.  I started to feel a bit of vibration and also can feel the surface is uneven on the center thread.  I always keep the tires inflated at 38psi front and 42 back.  The rear...

I have the Ilium bar back.  I'm 5'9" so probably did not need them but they were on the bike at the dealership so I left them on.  5000 kms since July and the bike just keeps getting more comfortable every time out.
Enjoy!
