Hi guys, iam considering fitting some
AC Schnitzer Superbike handlebar conversion BMW R1200S ..( see ebay ).to my R12s and wondered if anyone already has and their comments on them ?
Many thanx

I'm guessing the AC Schnitzer handlebar will be similar to the Wunderlicht one that I have fitted.

I came from years of naked bikes and as much as unloved the R12S I couldn't live with the clip ons. I love the look of the R12S compared to the R12R or GS but wanted a more upright position.

They are great and very easy to fit (although I bough a spare ball joint so I didn't need to swap them over and I could leave the original in place!)

I'd say go for it and report back!!

Here's a shot of mine (sorry about the poor photo!!)

Hello,

Don't know if it will help but I have the Heli-Bars on mine which were on it when I bought it. I did revert to the originals for a day or so....But found them too extreme so the Heli-bars went back on and I find them a good compromise for day to day commuting.

Best regards,

David

ive been tempted by the bar conversion but i cant justify the £400 price tag of the ac schnitzer or wunderlich items, maybe if my number come up on the lottery!

Cheap as chips

Many thanx guy's still trying to get my head round should i t spend £400 or not!

what about Rapid Dog's "Barbacks"?

A lot cheaper than £400, I'm sure?

£400 is a fair skelp of cash

Al

I don't think Rapid Dog does barbacks for the 12s, only 11s (shame) but these are reasonable http://www.mv-motorrad.de/lshop,showdet ... 6,11,,.htm

I'm also loving this idea of theirs

the simplest ideas are always the best.

Rapid's bar backs are only for the 11S.

I have Heli Bars on my 12S. For me it is the best compromise. Not too expensive and easy to install.

I did consider the superbike bar conversions, but I have gotten used to the Heli Bars.

The 12S feels like a chopper compared to my HP2 Sport.

Cheers

Are you sure that raised bars will actually sort your problem. On my 11S I fitted bar backs , rode for a while and still wasn't happy , fitted lowered pegs , and then after a while removed the bar backs , reasonably happy
Fitting raised bars may create more problems than it solves , the main one being the seat and obviously the screen.

Fitted a pair of Heli Bars and tried them out on Sunday, what a differance. Didnt seem to loose the prone riding position but the comfort improved no end. Cheaper than the handle bar conversion. Recommended.
