Your saddle 'mod' is just what's needed, even on a road bike, for short blokes like me. How did BMW get it so wrong? In truth, it's not the only stock saddle from them that was naff, every R12GS I've had (quite a few) has been uncomfy on the stock seat. The main reason for the BCR seat mod was pure...

April 2012: Dyno Session to Custom Map the PC3 I took the BCR back to Simon @ Race Engineering at Great Dunmow ( http://www.raceengineering.info/index.html ) to get the PC3 mapped with a point-to-point fuel map customised to the bike in its new configuration. The configuration in question: BOS Twin-...

April 2012: Odyssey Battery, Lennies Induct, Power Commander, Crankcase Breather Mod and Seat Foam Re-Shape. So with a lot of overtime behind me, I had a little time and money to spend on the BCR. I managed to badger Clinicol.Chris of this parish into selling me his Lennies Induct (Thanks Chap): htt...

Nice! I always prefer the CF rocker casings on the RMBCR. Has the forkbrace been polished? I see what look to be replacement bolts on the calipers - if they say A2 (or A anything for that matter) on the heads, be sure and use some silver* anti-seize paste on the threads. Now all you have to do is ou...

Autumn 2011 - BOS Exhaust fitted. I was lucky to be looking at Ebay at exactly the right time and managed to win a BOS 'Cat-Back' system for the BCR at a reasonable price. Although not common in the UK, they have a good reputation, both in Europe and with our neighbors across the pond. After years o...

I currently have Pirelli SuperCorsa BSB's on the BCR - great for my purposes but wouldn't recommend them for normal road use they are too stiff to be confident unless the weather is with you. On the GS and the SMT, I have Michelin Pilot Road 3's. Having used a set of PR2's on the RT and found them t...

Yup, Yours is certainly straighter. If anything, it's a little 'downturned' if that makes sense. But dont forget, that angle is also a function of the length of the rear shock too. I'm guessing that you have a Nitron replacement and that we dont have the same rear shock length's - making the FD-UJ a...

Hi Dai, The shorter torque arm was fitted as standard to the RWB BCR's - partly to speed the steering up its true, but also (along with the front lower legs from the GS) to raise the bike up to give more ground clearance and so give a better lean angle before the heads go down. The explanation I hea...

Thanks Dude :wink: - onwards then so I can get to what I've been doing recently. From April 2011 - Maxxis Tyres and MCTechnics Visit: I have a pair of Supermaxx's on my BCR. Brilliant tyres. Warm up quickly, grip well in all temperatures. Not bad at all in the rain for a tyre with very little groove...

Thanks Guys.. The barrels are from an 1150R (age and mileage unknown), they were ok when I bought them but I lightly ran my springy-spinny-drill-stone-hone-tool-arrangement over them anyhow. The swarf you can see to the right is from the heads (they've been given a mild going over - more about that ...
