Re: Two day owner grumbles and gripes

Spill-proof cup holder - https://rammount.com/products/ram-b-132bu. I have a search saved for it on fleabay. Our second office is 2 hours away, which would make for perfect time to sip my morning brew.

Re: Two day owner grumbles and gripes

Phone Mount note here: I bought the "flea-bay" induction Nav-mounted holder, and it hasn't skipped a beat in 7,000km over my few months of ownership. I use google maps, blue-tooth to headset, GPS logger and sometimes play music, and it still provides enough power to charge the phone while ...

Re: Rear panniers...Are they really rubbish??

We flew to rent a RT for a week with flea-bay pannier bag and helmet bag. The top box was used only for daily stuff (water, cameras, rain pants, snacks, sun block, visor/windshield cleaning). And we still found we brought too much with us. An elastic peg-less clothes line was an essential and saved ...

Re: R1300RT Prototype

It seems it will be carbon-copy of 13GS and GSA - new engine, gearbox and swingarm, lower weight, no two cubbies on the dash but one at the front of fuel tank. Other forums discussed active aero on fairings. By the time the price of 2nd hand and 3-hand bikes drops to my level, we might get used to a...

Re: Head cover bolt for 2015 LC

Thank you very much. I've got OEM one on order, 3rd party ones had Allen head and were more expensive.

Head cover bolt for 2015 LC

Would you have by any chance part numbers for R1200RT 2015 (LC):
Head cover bolt
Head cover bolt rubber gasket
Head cover bolt washer

I found that my engine bars bent one of those bolts which causes oil leak.

Haynes manual is on the way, but I want to order parts as soon as I can.

Wanted - OEM Top Box

Looking for OEM top box, as the current (Givi) feels less comfortable for my passenger.

Preferably located in Ireland, but willing to pay the postage if the price is right. Heated backrest is not necessary, only welcome.

Re: Portugal on a rental

We both enjoyed Portugal immensely. For the next time, we think about flying to Porto, as it is closer to the Serra da Estrela Nature Park, that we had to mostly skip due to bad weather. The national roads (especially N2) were revelation to me. I've never leaned my bike that much! And still I was be...

Re: Portugal on a rental

Well, I am back and we both survived. And I can say that both me and my partner had pretty equal amount of sex, but not with locals. Still, thanks for the hint, ingridguerci94 :mrgreen: We went with Hertz Ride rental, as they had 1250RT with all three panniers available. Not the cheapest, but I like...

Re: Portugal on a rental

I was app-free so far, that's why I like my 2015 Blue Whale. But I'll give it a go while I am on wifi at home.

Re: Puig Screen Screaking

Thank you. I've started googling and the e-bay bolts I've found so far have the rubber sleeve (=grommet as I learned). Mine don't have any rubber, I've checked over lunch time. Could you recommend and on-line store that sells original bolts, or non-OEM bolts but still with Torx head, so I don't have...

Re: Puig Screen Screaking

Thank you all, my notification settings are not the best. I didn't see any rubber grommets, and I was careful not to lose anything while installing the screen. There were no rubber parts holding the OEM windscreen, and there were no rubber parts supplied with the Puig screen. Do you mean grommet tha...
