BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

If the weather is ok I can meet you guys at the Pondy - can't do the rest as I have a business trip to the US the following day.

I have just had my top box resprayed in the same colour. I gave the same code to the guy (it's only a small 2 man business) and he got the paint mixed by a small local supplier in 4 hours in Middlewich (Cheshire). I am away from home at the moment but when I get back I will look at the jar (which I ...

I would push for a better deal. I bought a 2016 bike from a UK dealer that was 6 months old and with 1,500 miles on it.  I saved over £4,000 compared to new and I know of others who got a similar deal.

I have a 2016 RT without the audio package. The speaker covers are just that - there are large voids behind them where speakers could go.

I thought I was being clever laying the screws out in the order they came out .... until I kicked a piece of wood on the garage floor which then hit the screws and scattered them to the four winds. Can't repeat on here what I said (but you can imagine)!

Got it, thank you.

Casbar,


Do you have the picture for the top panel on the fairing, the one that has the BMW badge on it?


Many thanks.

Got it, thank you.

There's one on eBay now at £270 which is a bargain.
