its the one that holds the front brake master to the handlebar, with the mirror and sos fixings

Good service, can I ask why you needed to replace it ?…

Sadly I cannot answer your question but it was one of the first things I noticed on my 2019 1250. I try not to look now as I do have some ocd !. I tried realigning the mudguard a little but then it doesn’t look right with the panniers.
I really can’t think of any reason for this

Thanks for the heads up, I got the alignment pin last year, also the cam alignment jigs arrived for the 1250 motor, the last bit of the jigsaw ( cam chain tensioner tool) is supposed to arrive this month !!.

Strange, I bought a used High standard bmw seat to try and the heating was hotter than my standard height seat!.

To be honest I’ve not ridden it much and not at all come the winter. I am noticing the front is squaring off a bit though much sooner than expected. Handling is still good.

That’s a bit of a relief chaps .

Just going through facebook and come across some guy who had to swap out his stator on a gs1200, I’ve heard of this before but what a nightmare job if it ever goes pear shaped !!, apparently a £2.5k job at a dealers.

Not wanting to hijack the thread but is there any proven maintenance on working flaps to prevent this happening ?.

Hi, Are the tools that you bought compatible with 2018 BMW RT? I am very interested in buying them too, but before I place the order I want to ensure they are the right ones for my motorbike. It would be a costly mistake otherwise. Many thanks in advance, Pano. There is a difference between the 120...

Have you tried one ?, if it’s wrong I will email the seller.

I am after a link pipe for my R1250RT that will take a 60mm inlet end can. I found one but i think it would sit to high for the panniers. Does anyone have a link to who might sell them. Also can i ask if there is anyone on here who is able to make me one please ? If there is, PM me with the cost fo...

57 soon to be 58 here, when I got to 50 it was all downhill!!. Had the RT a couple of years now, before tha I had a pan European ST1300 which I got in 2006 so a long ownership. Previous to that I started out on a C50 at 6 yrs old and have owned and built a load of bikes in between .

I’m thinking of giving one of these a shot for under £200 🤔, there’s a few different finishes. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/276054835671?fits=UKM_Make%3ABMW&hash=item40462681d7:g:4P4AAOSw9iZi45iV&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAA4FzDr%2B7BsLNNexmkefLn7SOyX61lY0gvDNqFkej8kZ%2Bcr4ULq1AIQyRpS32AZswZ6vJA724j7...

Just had an email from the dealer I use saying the last tool I need will be in stock February 26th, that’s the cam chain tensioner tool,
