Hello from South Florida
#1
Hi,

My love for the BMW bikes started about 3 years ago when I exchanged my Goldwing for a K1600GT.

I like to tour long distances and the K feels like a real motorcycle but almost with the Goldwing comfort.

The bug has spread and I now have a 2016 R1200GS Adventure and the newer addition to the stable, a 2016 R1200RS with 8,000 miles and all the factory options with exception of ABS Pro.

Since the bike came in the "naked style" now I need to make it a bit more touring, with crash guards (so I can also put lights), hard cases and a taller windscreen. Any suggestions?

Happy to be here

Adi

Welcome to the RSWasserboxer Forum Community, Adi. Good to see you introduction as well, and so soon after joining. Smile

In addition to the feedback that you will get on the considered transformation of the RS (check throughout this site for various threads), check out my YouTube channel and also the parent website of this Forum (https://rswasserboxer.com/) for ideas and articles. Yes, I know that I have not updated the website in a while but to an RS newbie that would hardly be noticeable.  Big Grin

I went with the MRA vario windscreen on my'20 1250 RS. It's much better than stock. Nice quiet air pocket.

Welcome to the crowd! I also have a 16 RS and probably will never get rid of it. As for hard bags I would look at Givi hard bags, https://giviusa.com/pages/bmw.
I had a set years ago on a Suzuki RF900R and they worked well and are well made. Givi also had engine protection bars and a rear rack. I currently use a Givi hard tail bag with the OEM side bags.
