Re: Car kit for Navigator
I have a Navigator V and decided I'd like to try it in the car. I ordered a car kit from my local BMW dealer. When it arrived I set it up in the car and everything worked as expected - except I couldn't get any sound for the voice instructions. I tried everything I could think of then went back to ...

Re: New 2018 RT what would you like to see ??
On the left bar the rotating wheel would be better on the other side of the light switch cluster, allowing easier access to main beam, indicator and horn switch.[/size] [/size] I have to respectfully disagree with one of your points. The wonder wheel is narrow and it is not hard to access...

Re: Can an Old Man with an Old Phone play music?
My 13 year old flip phone doesn't have the ability to play music. My 2017 RT has some kind of ubs port and 3.5 mm female audio jack. I think that's right. I wanted to buy an inexpensive MP3 player and fill it with music files from my computer. I figure I could probably...

Re: Flagpole attachment
Not in the UK, we do things differently, we have many volunteer organisations that help veterans, but my comment was more around the public perception to veterans is different here. When Afghanistan was in full flow, all our fallen veterans were repatriated through one airfield and they were all dr...

Re: Flagpole attachment
Checkout PatriotGuard.org. It is a volunteer organization, and there is no reason you cannot do the same thing wherever you are.Casbar wrote:

Re: Flagpole attachment
Ok, I'll ask, why would you want a flagpole on the back of the bike? Is it for when you get somewhere on a rally or something to put it up? Or do you actually ride around with a flag flying 8) I intend to use if for Patriot Guard escort of remains of veterans. I imagine on certa...

Re: Actual interval between valves needing adjustment on R1200RTW?
I don't have a R1200RTW yet but I see one in my near future. I've done the valve adjustments on my airhead, classic K and my oilhead without any problem. I see that the wetheads need the cam to be removed to do valve adjustments. The check interval appears to be 12k mi...

Re: Flagpole attachment
Yeah, those rack grips look great in blue!! ;) Yep!! Actually the standard clip or grip is black and rubberized. The guy did these custom ones on his 3D printer, so they are a hard plastic. I am more of a function over form kind of guy, unlike my better half. Sent from...

Flagpole attachment
I found and unusual solution to mount a 2 foot by 3 foot flag. The attachment came from an off road enthusiast who sells attachments for marker flags for dirt bikes. They can be found at http://www.zenxteninc.com/ . The owner Hank was incredibly responsive. I emailed him and aske...

Re: New BMW Owner - Concord, NC
Hi. I've been riding Harley Davidson motorcycles since 1968. Not all that tall or big to begin with, now that I'm old, I wanted a lighter bike. After many weeks of research and test rides, I've decided to take a gamble on a 2017 BMW R1200RT. I really liked th...

Re: Linked Brakes
In normal situations I never bother with the pedal. Applying both in a panic situation will make no difference. Not true. You can prove this if you are willing to burn a little rubber. Find a straight stretch of road and get up to 40. Pick a designated stoppi...
