Thanks for the information-those solutions look great!

Morning All:

I am planning on adding some LED lights and re-configuring my Heated Clothing wiring. As such, what are the Groups recommendations concerning a FuseBox?


Regards:

I have been using the Wunderlich handle on my older R12R for a number of years. Good Product!

Hey Don:

Great write up! One question, do you run the PIAA lights all the time?

Chris

Evening:

I have performed a pivot on the Center Stand on my R12R occasionally. Seems to be work OK.

Morning Daveyator:

Thanks for the suggestion-but I checked the battery while in the bike, and once it was removed with my Fluke Multimeter, it was reading ~9 volts after being charged for 48 hours. It appears one of the 'cells' was dead. No way to resurrect that .

Morning All: I decided to install a Braille B14115. It just dropped in, and supposedly has 360 Amps of cranking power. Dropped right in, no fin cutting and such. Bike starts right up now, We will see if I made the 'correct' decision as time goes forward. I guess the question is; do you all leave you...

Thanks Liam: I am contemplating the Odyssey 535-as I have read very good things about it. I really hate being stranded by the bike. As I stated this is the second battery failure since I bought the bike in Spring of 2008. I also saw another thread where someone put a 625 in, I am going to check on t...

Morning All: Just went out to start my 2007R12R, and gauges cycle normally-hit the Starter-and nothing. All gauges go blank! This is my second BMW battery, first one replaced during warranty in October 2009. This one has been on a Xtreme Smart Charger when not being ridden. Haven't been riding much ...

Hello: I am attempting to replace the shocks on my R12R and am having an issue removing the nut at the top of the front shock mount. There is not much room to work. I have moved the tank back a couple of inches, and have tried holding the shaft with a T30 Key-but can not get the nut to start to spin...

Evening: When I installed mine-I found getting those started first then installing the two lower ones afterward worked. Those two top ones can be a bit of a challenge. Plan on some wiggling. Do not forget the Thread Locker !

Evening Bill:

I believe they are the same part. I am just trying to track down a replacement for Chicago BMW-as they typically had the best mail-order prices. Although, getting orders filled was sometimes rather slow.

Evening: What is the best dealer to mail-order K1300R mirrors for my R1200R?

TIA

Chris

Afternoon:

Definitely sounds like a failed battery from you previous symptoms. I had a 'Sudden Battery Death' experience about two years ago-had a 'weird' start with a reset-I would check the connections=but I believe you will find a bad battery. Regards

Thanks John for the info! If Don approves-that is good enough for me !!

Afternoon All:
As this post has morphed into the rear shock direction-what have you all done with the Rear Shock Plastic Guard? Have you replaced it with a MudSling or a Hugger. Or have you been able to put the guard on the new shock??
TIA
Chris

Yosemite . Bridal Falls or Angel Falls?? I have made the trip several times in my lifetime-not seen that much water since the last big flood.

NGDIA=Not Gonna Do It Again.

Morning:

Does anyone have a picture of the Low Comfort Seat as I am a bit 'vertically challenged' and this may mitigate my tip-toeing.

TIA

Chris

What is being changed in this recall on the R12R???
