BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

Here is a pic of the can:

I ceramic coated mine black. They turn to be rather grey, but is a consistent color. For what i was told, black is more heat resistant than silver. In my view, no mater the color you chose is better than the burned blue the factory headers turn to be. Since at it, and the can was showing signs of ru...

You are not going wrong with PDM60, as long as the price suits you! It is a very well built module, water proof and solid. Have the rear lights connected to it, and by timer, they come on after bike is started. I had a small problem with mine, as I didn't know that when programing for a new device, ...

Mine is a 2008 so there was a big difference, since I changed both, front and back. I went for Tractive, so I can keep the ESA functioning. I don't know about newer models, but for mine had to send in the rear shock's motor. Shipping from Canada is not cheap, so I bought a used shock on eBay and shi...

Would like to see some pics, if you can load them up.

I would suggest tennis racquet grip tape. Cheap, can ride without gloves, absorb sweat, and yes,
can get any color you want, eventually to match your bike :pee:

Just a suggestion:

like any after market, they are pricey, but are well machined, and look good!

Have to agree with any alternative, since all works just as well. Just like any Wunderlich, the grill protector is way over priced! But...decided to get one. Works well, fits like the right size glove! And looks good also, almost like it is factory installed. Would like to mention that BMW will void...

Welcome to the forum. It helps to mention where are you from, may have some members near by.
Just like you, I quit riding for 26 years. A few years back decided to ride again, and never looked back!
RT is a great long distance riding motorcycle, Enjoy your bike and send us pictures! :kacsint2:

Since being new, is just polite to mention where you are from,
and what is your new scoot! A picture does a thousand words.
If done so, you may make instant friends from near by, as well
as greetings from the forum members.

Just as a suggestion: Your 2005 has the holes to install a pair of aftermarket mirrors.
I find the oem mirrors inconveniently placed, and the new mirrors offer a much better
view of what you have behind.

Those inside clamps not only allow to turn the lever assembly on the bar, they also determine the position in or out! I remember was out slightly and the throttle would not turn because of it. Make sure you just rotate, and keep the location from the end of the bar same. And it may not be easy to fi...

Thought i replied to this thread, may be on another forum. Your bike is a newer model, but i don't see why would be much different. You can turn both assemblies by opening them, and will find a clamp like that you can loosen up and turn to the desired position. See attach. As far as turning the bar ...

https://fortnine.ca is very reliable, but i see pads are out of stock for
your year bike. Best place to buy tires. Try https://www.motointer.ca

A picture is worth a thousand words ... https://s3.amazonaws.com/tapatalk-emoji/emoji847.png This is my wife and I  five years ago about to head off on a two week tour.  2008 RT.  She started ridding her own bike about the time of this picture so we don't do two-up riding...
