BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

No extras on the work RT with no similar issues. Do the Boxes save the crap or is it the design of the body panels & rear foot peg brackets. Don't know to be fair. There's obviously some vortex/swirl effect from the rear wheel but as yet I've not had chance to run with my panniers on (shed door...

View of my left leg after this morning's commute (without panniers), not happy! Do you have the same problem with your Job Bike. http://www.1200rt.com/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=1186.0;attach=1162;image Looks like it hasn't got any infill panels fitted. http://cdn.1200rt.com/gallery/2423-04011...

Don't think BMW do a taller screen for a 2011 RT. Have tried a couple of CEE Baileys screens on both my 2007 & 2010 RT's. Yes, they will help to reduce buffeting & wind noise etc., however, the increased surface area & therefore force on the screen can potentially cause problems with the...

Hi Chris, welcome to the RT World. Not had Sports Bikes myself, but did go from a Honda VFR (Sports Tourer) to my first RT in 2007, with no regrets. IMO, an RT ridden well is a good match to most other Bikes out there. Interesting that you are impressed with the bike your Lad rides for the White Kni...

Any ideas why these kits are coming with parts missing.

Having just provisionally booked a ferry from Hull to Rotterdam & return, there are currently what I think are some good deals out there. P&O are offering all their cabins at the same price (except Club), until 6th February 2015, therefore upgrade for free. I'm going to book with Railsavers,...

The VFR took me to all points, N, S, E & W, in the UK, including Lands End & John O'Groats. Dunnet Head http://i363.photobucket.com/albums/oo80/davidsykes/DSCF0019.jpg Lizard Point http://i363.photobucket.com/albums/oo80/davidsykes/DSCN1167.jpg Lowestoft Ness http://i363.photobucket.com/albu...

A Charity Track Day at RAF Leeming.

I have said, if it's not "Double Figures" 10degC I'm not going out. Putting heated grips on the XJ650 made the difference between riding in the Winter or not. I have Alpinestars Textiles, BMW Boots & Gloves, I find the Summer Gloves OK with heated grips. The Heated Insoles have made a ...

My 2004 Honda VFR 800 VTEC, last Bike prior to my first 2007 RT.

Interesting that you should say your tootsies got cold,  I run a 2012 RT like your job bike & suffer from cold feet. Do you use any heated clothing for work or pleasure. Have invested in some Kies Heated Insoles, they are great, have got a supply & controller on my XJ650, not yet go...

Thanks for confirming that, a brilliant design, well done, hope you sell loads.

Fortunately, I have a pitched roof on my garage with storage space for the top case & side cases.

A great idea, it looks like the Pannier bracket replicates the two upper case holders on the side of the bike, below the carrier/grab rail.

When the case handle is pushed down, does it engage the latching mechanism behind the mount on the bracket, (above the Bull's head) for security of fixing.

Excellent, good feedback, thanks.
