BMW R 1200R

The 'Classic' came with what they call a 'Low Comfort Seat'. It feels a little like you are sitting into the bike rather than on it. After several years martial arts and a few of life's scrapes my back isn't what it was so I took the seat to a custom seat modifier here in San Francisco and had him add some foam and shape it and then cover it in the cover you see which also has some gel of its own. The result is a nice comfortable saddle. This coupled with the RT wheels changes the bikes ride altogether. You're higher but the ride seems a little more street fighter-ish.

After a chat with Ted Porter (Beemershop) I upgraded the rear and front shocks for fully adjustable Yacugars. They're setup for a firm ride.

I swapped out the plastic rear indicators for these aluminum ones. An Amazon purchase.

I think this was a Wunderlich purchase. It's the (smoked out aesthetic) LED tail light.

Bike came with chrome wing mirrors. They had to go owing to my chrome abhorrence. These are great - fully adjustable. I can't recall, but I think they are made by Touratech....or likely provided by same and made by somebody else.

Have you ever been hit on the hand by a rock thrown up by a truck on a cold day on the freeway? I have. Even through a glove it stings like a **tha. Soon after the incident I acquired these. I bought them on the Hornig website. When they arrived, they had a big gaudy Hornig sticker on them which I removed only to witness a Touratech emblem under that. A few coats of black paint from a rattle can later and I am no longer advertising either establishment for free.

Tech Specs Snakeskin tank guards for protection and grip.

Brake and clutch levers are fully adjustable. It's the small things which enable a truly custom fitting interface on any bike.

A form of cruise control is made manifest using the ThrottleMeister throttle lock bar end. I think this OEM has gone out of business.

The bike is ten years old so these ought to help the shock seals. Just some neoprene with velcro and held in place with a couple of zip ties. I think it was an Amazon purchase.
