Re: R1200S DOHC Project
Quick photo dump. These are from my Instagram so have been edited slightly 29CD6293-5309-42CD-BD8E-87EB81B42B77.jpeg I love the Heritage M Badge, had to go with genuine for the side panels, the knock off ones are just slightly wrong, enough to bug me. This meant the only option was 74mm badges (orig...

Re: R1200S DOHC Project
As someone with the mechanical skills of a ( insert your favourite term for dunce here :roll: ) I think this is incredible. A beautiful bike. I loved my 1200S although it was bloody uncomfortable without bar risers and a one off version like this with useable upgrades must be a lovely thing to ride...

Re: R1200S DOHC Project
Technically amazing but the colours are not for me. Each to their own though. I did prefer the black and white over the carbon but like I say, personal preference. Totally get it, that’s the whole reason I did this. There isn’t a bike on the market that ticks all my boxes so I made one. Ideally I d...

Re: R1200S DOHC Project
Sorry for the delayed updates, struggling to access the forum most days. I really like it :D the purple makes the paintwork shine. Stick with that for a while get the Zard, very nice bit of kit (but I’m a bit biased) imho it suits the bike without shouting I’ve got a trick pipe. IMG_0645.jpeg Yeah, ...

Re: R1200S DOHC Project
Nice sunny day yesterday so I took the time to throw the fairings back on and get a sense of what its going to look like IMG_9401 Large.jpeg Wow, and black and white was the worst part in your opinion! :D Am I tripping or does the Black and White go quite well?? :lol: IMG_9418 Large.jpeg Got lots of...

Re: R1200S DOHC Project
I spent a good 5 hours on Saturday working on the wiring loom. Boring but satisfying results. Im adding cruise control from an rs/rt and i want it as close to 'factory' as possible so it was a great opportunity to route the 9 new wires through the loom from the battery area to the various end points...

The way my budget is looking the black and white fairings might have to go back on

Re: R1200S DOHC Project
Not much of an update here... Been waiting for Powder Coating for the last week. Had a snow day yesterday (yes. like a child) so i had time to play with my 3d scanner. The DOHC engine has plastic covers below each cylinder to cover the secondary coil and wires. BMW want £25 a side! So after several ...

Re: R1200S DOHC Project
Twas mine for 90,000 of those miles. Not painted by me I will add, although it stood out from the normal colours which did nothing for me anyway. Each to their own though. The Hagon replaced the front Ohlins which itself was damaged beyond repair when the bottom mount split clear in half. The rear ...

Re: R1200S DOHC Project
While I was waiting for the powder coating I started on the headlight. I'm aiming for an LED halo type light, as you see on every new vehicle at the moment... But I like 'em. I removed the front 'glass' (thats a nightmare of a job :x ) Here is the before: IMG_9004 Large.jpeg I painted the silver edg...

Re: R1200S DOHC Project
Just a quick question? - will you be using the R1200 wiring loom or do you need to use the R9T's one? Im sticking with the R12 loom as theres very little changing electronics wise. The coils, injectors, lambdas, Crank pos etc are all the same. Even the newer style gear position sensor works with th...

R1200S DOHC Project
I've fancied the idea of a 1200s for a few years now. So when this one was listed on ebay for £1300, well, who wouldn't jump on a deal like that! IMG_8725 Large.jpeg It had 107000 miles on the clock and it looked exactly as you'd expect. Mechanically ok, not perfect. Someone has painted it black and...

Hi from West Yorkshire
Hi all, Bought the cheapest R1200S in the country last year. 2006 with 107k on the clock. IMG_8564.jpeg I assume a previous owner used this forum as there were boxertrix decals on the tail. Bought the bike for a cheap summer bike but as with most things in my life I couldn’t just leave it be… I’ve s...
