Re: 2007 BMW R1200RT - Brake Failure Light - ABS?

Re: Hand guards on r1200rt

So, we need to get Machine Art Moto to add the RT to their supported models? Loved them on my GS, you can easily and quickly switch from no protection to excellent wind protection. https://machineartmoto.com/products/advance-guard/

Re: Independent Workshops

I've used The Undealership in Redwood City on the San Francisco peninsula and been happy with them, specializing in BMW and Triumph, but they'll work on others. http://www.theundealership.com/

Re: Tapatalk not updating since early November?

Perhaps it is more on my end, I do get new post notifications, any tips? Other websites are working normally for me.

Tapatalk not updating since early November?

I use Tapatalk to read this forum, but it's not updating since about November 11th. I pick "web view" and it opens the web browser with me logged in, so some parts work right.
