BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

I have been looking about for some engine bars for my 2016 RT I have seen the ilium bars and like the way they sit as they leave the casings free for maintenance plus I have genuine head covers and was planning on leaving these on The trouble is they are twice as much as others  :-X&nbs...

Do you know what the MOT regulations will be in October 2023

Well


That will depend on the MOT tester and how deaf he is  :))

Pictures would be good 

Is the GPS lock still available?

I'm in the UK but Sussex is a bit of a hike for me

Just thinking out loud here: can you get water tight bags and tie them to the frame with velcro? e.g. https://www.thenorthface.co.uk/shop/en-gb/tnf-gb/base-camp-wash-bag-small-astp has a lot of fastenings through which one could feed velcro strips I just don't know where in the frame you would atta...

Well I found a place for my stop & go!


just enough space under the seat for it to sit in so I tie wrapped it to the seat with re usable tie wraps

If your bike doesn't have the audio option fitted, there is some useful space behind the dashboard speaker grilles. I have an Airman compressor in one side and a basic toolkit and a few spare bulbs etc in the other. Everything is in heavy-duty ziploc bags. The torx driver under the seat can be used...

But I strongly favored the Ilium rear bars for their ease of removal whe...

When I go touring all the luggage goes with me but a lot of the time we will be leaving the panniers and other times I won't have anything with me not even a tail pack

I discovered today that the under seat storage is none existent on the RT! On the FJR I managed to get in a decent tool kit, stop and go puncture repair kit, Small air compressor and a tyre pressure gauge. I am struggling with the tyre pressure gauge on the RT  :)) I have seen one of these ...

I have ordered one of these myself but opted for the cheaper snail mail!


This is for my zumo xt though

Have a look at Illium rear bars, you can fit with any front bars. They are low so don't impact passengers calves and they are quickly removable if you ever ride without bags. There is a UK distributor. sportouring.co.uk Yes I have seen those I also saw the price!  :))  but needs m...

Both! Head covers to protect from rocks, crap, etc, thrown up from the road. Engine bars to provide additional protection in the event of a slow speed tip-over. Both it is then  :)) Has anyone had any issues with rear bars interfering with pillions feet? I have heard some people mention it...
