Zitat von paleolithictech im Beitrag #28 Probably, the MachineArt Mudsling piece. It's a good addition. Some of us, run the Advantguard crankcase protector, but that may interfere with the lower cowling I've seen on some R1250RSs. Enjoy

Zitat von Mr. 36654 im Beitrag #31Zitat von paleolithictech im Beitrag #28 EvoTech makes a similar front engine guard that will work with the larger lower cowling. I’ve used the fender extender in the past but I believe that would interfere as well and would look weird with the ever more fashionable less functional short front fenders |

Congratulations. I have just taken delivery of mine - I love it. I don't know yet whether I want the bar risers and a different screen; I'll ride it for a while before taking that decision. |

Beerman ....... The screens are very easy to switch out. I got the light tint touring screen by Puig. I could see putting the stock one back on in the summer for rides in the heat. The touring screen does work well and keeps most wind off of you .....

Zitat von Nm2far im Beitrag #30 Zitat von paleolithictech im Beitrag #29 Well I’ve certainly been a lot more involved in tracking the bike especially as it is now a month plus past when it was expected. Dealer did say this was his only allocation and one he was getting this year. I'm 5 months in (Ordered mid-May) and reading this I'm already at a point to just hope it will be here by December (7 months). Funny thing is the bike stands as completed/manufactured since August but the most info I could gather is semiconductor/LED lights availability issues. I'm imagining a line of RSs without lights lined up in a Berlin storage somewhere. Initial optimistic estimate was 3 months so August / with honest realistic due to the everything happening September. Lots of delays on GS/XR orders for probably the same reason, know one poor SOB that placed an order on a K1600 back in Feb 22 and still nothing.

MR. 36654 .... I was able to confirm the headlight and taillight are LED but I can't find anything about the turn signals so far..... the turn signals are very small and have clear lenses .... wouldn't make much difference either way ....

Zitat von paleolithictech im Beitrag #37 Yep, I agree........very small. In my opinion, too small

Zitat von paleolithictech im Beitrag #37 Our 2022 R1250RSs have LED headlights and tail lights but the turn signals are not LED. Most other BMW models in the US now have LED turn signals.

Zitat von Ray B im Beitrag #40 I've heard about this back when ordering ~May, apparently it was the TFTs in 2021 and then LED issues for 2022. There was a chance you could have your bike delivered with halogen lights and a voucher for BMW replacement as soon as available, but it never went into details and I'd rather wait for a 'complete' bike. I don't know how they (BMW corporate) decide to ship models in terms of parts shortages, as mentioned before they have a dozen XR/GS due here and I would figure at least 1-2 people would say screw it and take the temporary halogen option but all are 'stuck' pending delivery for months. As for LED turn lights I haven't seen any newer RS/GS/XR around here without those. I also have them on my Honda and they are without fault when it comes to brightness and 'signalling' while moderately sized. I believe some bad press regarding those is related to people who buy those mini aftermarket ones 1/4 the size of a Euro cent/penny and also preferably smoked-out - some of those are neigh invisible.

Zitat von Ray B im Beitrag #40 I forgot about that. We stopped at Engles on the way home Thursday and the salesman mentioned some of the new bikes coming in with halogen bulbs. Some were also coming in without gearshift Pro, up-shift only. He did not mention which bikes.
