Looks great Bob, glad to see you've got it looking pristine again. I don't know why BMW didn't paint the rear sub frame on the RS like you did. The other day I saw a new '18 R1200R at my dealer with the entire frame painted blue, I think it looked great too.

Thanks Bub
Yes I don�t understand why they never painted it
At least mine is a little different from the norm
Might paint the hugger next season maybe in the white colour?

Looks good with the full red frame.
I also like the 2015 white R1200R with the red frame.

I was tempted to do mine but paint firm want £320 and BMW want 2 hrs labour for removal and refit, can't imagine what that would be !!

Who painted yours Bob? Has it been sprayed with normal paint or powder coated?

Hi Ged
It was a small paint shop near me and it was normal paint
I stripped it off myself and refitted it - was quite easy actually

I like the frame. Goes well with seat. Not crazy about the white / grey, but looks good.

Hi Bob,

What brand of hugger do you have on your bike?

I am looking at options currently but can't find anything that looks right to me.

Growning old is compulsory, growing up is optional

Looks like a Puig. I've got the exact same one and like it but it's more style over function!

Hi Guys
It�s a Puig
Might get it painted in the winter possibly white to match the metallic white bits on the bike

Leave the legs ( bit from the mount to the top) black and the rest white, would look good
