Okay, I am back on an RS. I traded in my '17 R1200RS on a shiny new '21 S1000XR a few years ago and yesterday purchased a new '23 R1250RS Triple Black -- I just couldn't pass up the 0.0% BMW financing they had on the '23 bikes, especially on one of the best sport touring bikes out there. 2017 R1200RS |

Welcome back. We have the same ('23 Triple Black) RS. After many windscreen iterations (and frustrations), I settled on the light smoke Puig Touring Plus screen, which looks very good on the black RS, and mounted in the upper mount holes does a terrific job of eliminating wind noise and buffeting, though on days of 90F and above, it can get a bit warm (but you can ride with an open face shield with that screen). |

Thanks @BEARR I'll take a look at the Puig screens. I mostly need the wind protection during the winter months as morning commutes in can get a bit chilly. Can easily swap them out during the summer months. Yep in Livermore!

Zitat von Windyrun im Beitrag #4 Mainly because I prefer the boxer motored RS and its lower height/weight for city/hwy lane splitting commute duties.

Just installed the top case and rack. Next will be the mudsling and MRA windscreen once they arrive.

Zitat von soch im Beitrag #6 Same mods I've done to mine. The real shame is that US '23 RS's don't come with the luggage rack! I would rather have that than the heated seats since I transferred my Sargent seat (non-heated) to the new RS. Mudsling type of fender from the factory would be more welcome, too. Frank

Zitat von Duckbubbles im Beitrag #8Zitat von soch im Beitrag #6 Yeah, it set me back around $950 just to put the damn top case on -- includes top case, bracket and rack. I'll be ordering my panniers from Germany bmw-motorrad-bohling.com which will save me hundreds.

Zitat von soch im Beitrag #10 Got a photo of that screen setup on the bike? Mudsling's a great mod...should be on the bike from the factory. |

Zitat von soch im Beitrag #12 Great, thanks for posting it. Have you had a chance to give it a good test yet? I tried different screens and an MRA "X-creen" deflector, but my OCD personality type had me going crazy trying to find the "perfect" setting (never did). The Puig solved my problem, but in temps over 90F it can get warm behind it when raised to the upper (extremely quiet) position. Be interested to hear your results. |
