Looking forward to learning lots from others about my 2016 R1200RS from this forum! Love the bike - modifications are pretty minimal at this point - Givi screen, BMW driving lights, and in a few days, a Denali horn. I will go on my first multi-day tour with this bike in a couple of weeks to upper New York State - I haven't spent more than a couple of hours straight on this bike so far, so it will be interesting to see how I feel at the end of long-riding days.

I agree 100% with upgrading the horn
Suggest (in no particular order)
Mudsling
X-heads
Stubby front LED turn signals from Hornig (to replace the highway pegs style fitted)
Helmet lock from Pirates' Lair

Most of the stuff I have done on my RS is "consumer electrics" - front mounted USB, pigtails under the saddle and the GPS relocation. Things like the Corbin saddle are really personal issues. Your use of driving lights means you don't need to bother with upgrading the headlights.

I would like to apologize to anyone I have NOT offended. Please be patient. I will get to you shortly.
