BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

I spent today looking at 'classic ' bikes, went to the Stafford Classic Motorcycle show, some lovely machines there.

How have you mounted the panniers, just on ladder hooks or similar through the handle, or on a shelf?

Put your VIN into https://www.mdecoder.com/ and it will give you original build spec of the bike.

I found a bike very close to mine with the same spec + radio & DLR lights. It's build date is 3 weeks earlier and has done 1100 miles more, I don't think I'll find a closer bike if mine is written off. https://approvedused.bmw-motorrad.co.uk ... ?on=525229

How much clearance is there inside the front of the valve cover to the shift cam mech? As a result of being knocked off the bike it looks like there is a part of the cover that has been pushed in by the light bracket on the crash bar.
