K1200s rear wheel is it the same as R1200S?

Got a technical query? Found another 0.02bhp? Ask/tell the world.

Interesting question! Did you try the K Series Rim after all that?

Is the rear wheel from a k1200s (2005-2009 if it makes a difference) the same as that fitted to a R1200s?? They look the same design and I'm hoping that BMW bought into the modular theory!!

I know it attaches at the opposite side but would you just birl it round and it would fit??

Thinking of trying to pick one up cheap'ish to get it powdercoated a different colour just to see if I like it before doing my own, and as with most things there are more k1200s wheels that R1200s available.
I have a K1200S rear wheel here if you want to try it out for fit, I bought it to put on my KGT to allow a 190 tyre but haven't got around to it yet.

I know it is an old post but did anyone find out if it worked?
