Thanks, Eddie. |

Zitat von L2RKE im Beitrag #3 Thanks for the tip! Yes, although I haven't had a chance to ride the bike yet (crappy weather), I have played with the various display settings, but I think I still prefer a bigger display. |

Zitat von Zepppo im Beitrag #4 No, only the WunderLINQ supported apps. I use one called Scenic which is excellent.

I’d recommend the wider tail trim if you tend to tour or ride in adverse weather in addition to the Mudsling. BMW makes a rear mudgaurd for the R1200R/S which should keep the spray off the tail area and topbox as well as the huggers people have been fitting. It may not look as nice as a hugger but it is an OEM part and pretty foolproof in both fitting and design. I’m a Notary Public. RESPECT MY AUTHORITY! |

I also recommend WunderLINQ and Scenic combo. I just installed WunderLINQ to OEM cradle and “mounted” - really am just going to stuff under right dash panel - as I also just installed quad locks vibration damper.

Zitat von zer0netgain im Beitrag #7 Thanks! I don't usually do a lot of touring but the bike came with panniers and a top box so this is probably a good idea. |

Zitat von backRoadS im Beitrag #8 That is a fabulous idea. That way the (ugly) cradle is "gone" but its function is still there. I won't need the Wunderlich relocation kit and I can use my quadlock bits. Thanks for posting the pics... Very helpful. What are the play control buttons you have mounted there? (I.e. Play/pause/forward/back). Are you running a DVD player as well? 😉 |

Zitat von L2RKE im Beitrag #3 This is the answer. Mode 2 all day every day. Speed and Gear in big bold numbers. All you need to know. Who needs RPM and/or analogue (useless) speedo?
Carpe Diem!

The Aussie tail guard improves the crud catching at the rear end.
Carpe Diem!

Zitat von Zepppo im Beitrag #11 Ha! That’s one of the few things I don’t have installed lol. They are “Chubby Buttons.” They Bluetooth to my phone for easy glove control of music. They work superbly and the battery lasts all year. The connection times out after a while of no use to save battery but connects reliably and quickly with any button press. That version I have is “v1” the newer v2 let’s you hold play/pause to activate Siri/google assistant. Which I admit might be nice. $79 USD now on Amazon for v2. I’m going to see if I still use them or WunderLINQ/Scenic integration for music before upgrading to v2. That said, I may just keep them because sometimes all you need is a real button and these have been solid for me.

Zitat von Zepppo im Beitrag #1 Define necessary. (If you let the boys and girls on the forum define it, this thread will go on forever.) I enjoy some of the thoughts provided above that emphasize a good read through the manual a couple of times should be considered necessary to improvement. With the sport seat, my ergos were fully addressed and I saw everything else as optional, not necessary. Some metal pegs (off the K1300), tank grips, Clearwater Darlas (to supplement the 2015 headlamp and help me see the deer at night), and OEM head protectors (in case I still didn't see the deer) were pretty much it for options I could justify. Remember - money for gas and tires seem necessary. if you spend your money on all the "necessary" options, you might not have enough money when you want to gas 'er up and get out for some extended tours with that fancy but solid luggage.... “A good man always knows his limitations.” |
