Hello from Los Angeles

[Grumpy Goat]

Hi everybody, new member here from sunny Southern California. Just got my R1250RS and I'm looking for information on upgrades and accessories. This is my second BMW, my first one being an 80's R65LS (don't remember the actual year). My previous motorbike was a Multistrada 1100S. I commute daily almost exclusively on my motorcycle. Looking forward to gaining and contributing knowledge to the community.

Welcome to the Forum Community, Big O. You will find lots of solid information here, along with great tips on accessories and in some cases how to install them.

As Lee said, many accessories and maybe not so many upgrades to this excellent bike. That said, most changes to the windshield can be called an upgrade as the stock windshield is probably its weakest feature that can be upgraded. Another change I would call an upgrade is the addition of a Machineart Moto (MaMo) Mudsling. The bike comes with a tiny excuse for a barrier on the lower part of the rear spring and the MaMo product actually protects the suspension from grit from the rear wheel.

Other changes are typically farkles and accessories that are subjective or may be necessary for a better personal fit.
