I sold all the bits I used to have on my 12S before I sold the bike - Ohlins, Corbin seat, seat cowl, wide rear wheel etc.
Now that I've bought it back I'm going to need some things...
If anyone has some nice bits to sell, let me know

Thanks

Hi all,

I bought a new R1200S back in 2007 and sold it in 2009.
I've owned 63 bikes over the years and it's the only one I've really missed.
Well today it comes back! I've bought my old bike back and am very chuffed!

There is a red and silver one on ebay at the moment.

I got a Puig double bubble from a place in Germany for about £55 plus postage.

Grant,

Wouldn't mind seeing yours when fitted if that's possible.

Do I just have to remove the two metal clips at each side of the screen and slide it out?

Looks pretty easy but I don't want to break any hidden fittings.

Just got my Puig one in the post today from Germany. Looks pretty good.

I found the pipes really easy to fit but I didn't expect quite so visible leakage at the joints. If they're attached both ends and the springs are on, I guess it must be ok.

The Scuzzlebutt is a Southpark reference, nothing more!!

FZ1S is more comfortable and feels much quicker. However, like all Jap 4's it can feel a little lacking in character.

After a test ride and getting back on my other bike I thought "what have I done". After the first 50 miles I thought "I can't keep this". After 200 miles it's pretty good actually. After 1000 I know I'm going to love it. If I hadn't had an S and a GS previously I might have had a...

I put Remus front pipes on last night. When I start the bike there is a lot of exhaust vapour coming from the Y piece to tail pipe joint. I used the existing springs to attach this joint and the ones supplied with the header pipes to join the front pipes to Y piece. There is also more movement in th...

Not my BCR but I've used them for a number of things and the local bike shops here use them too. I'd certainly have no hesitation using them again.

Hope that helps.

I've also had both and I think I preferred the 1150GS in everyway apart from its size and weight. Like eggcup I was probably quicker on the GS, especially on our crap roads. However, you'll get more 1100S for your money and it should fit down the side of your house whereas the wide bars of the GS mi...

I enquired about a seat for my 1200S as I've got one on my Fazer and it is excellent. So just for info, if you don't know already, here is the response I got. "I'm sorry to have to tell you that Sargent recently cancelled development of the seat for this bike as demand in the US has not materia...

I'm picking up a 2007 R1200S this week with 700 miles on it. I'll probably only add a couple of hundred before going on holiday and doing about 2000 miles. Any idea how much oil consumption would be normal? I've ordered Remus headers for it but I think I'll leave on the standard can. I don't mind wh...
