I found out yesterday that the Calmoto Mt. View property will not be sold but will be leased out to Hertz and a martial arts gym. So no BMW dealership between San Francisco and San Jose. Attached are photos of the showroom and accessory department that I took yesterday. It will be all gone in a few days after some 35 years of operation.

Rather sad to see it looking so empty I bet it was a fantastic place to visit when fully stocked.
Interesting to see non BMW brands like Shoei, Schuberth and Bell as I'm sure BMW dealers in the UK are only allowed to stock and sell BMW apparel.

This does not fit into the topic with the R1250RS
This would have to open a separate thread

I agree. You are right. I should have done that, but it was a combination of not thinking clearly, wanting to get the subject off of my chest and not sure if it deserved a separate thread. Please accept my apogee. Anyway, that is the last of that from me about the closing of Calmoto Mt. View for now. If I ever bring the subject up again it will be in a dedicated thread.

just a note:
euro bike put the front side reflectors on the fender strut and in the USA they put it
on the fork sliders...
and the wheels are different here as well....

The only 1250 I've seen in person had the reflectors on the fender, same as they were on the 1200.

First, the postponed sales Start from 1st quarter 2019 to September 2019, and then my Dealer forgot to order the HP Kit

That took another couple of Weeks until it was there.
Now we have November 2019 ....

I'm pleased you finally have your bike with all the HP parts! I like your idea of matching the red, I'd love to see photos of that when finished. I decided to go the other way and swap the red RS decal for blue.

I left that with the red and and I painted the Covers in black storm metallic.
But I have 4 pairs of Covers and maybe I will try red someday

I like the black covers without the blue guards,
I thought the HP covers were already black with silver trim.

The blue Plastic of the Covers is a bit unfortunate in Colour in my Opinion.
Aluminum blue anodized would be something completely different.

But there is a solution for almost everything
