DaveTheAffable Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 I'd like to find out more about this fairing for a K1200RS. Photos are from 2001.... Schurger Fairing? Looks like it puts mirrors on fairing, and adds some WX protection. Any help from my friends across the pond? Netherlands? Link to comment
nldaniel Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Well, there is Schurgers site: http://www.schurgersdesign.com/uk/bmw_k1200_gtrs_upgrade.html bit of history, The dutch police rode K1100LT's for years. When the K1200RS replaced it, they wanted a bike with the same seating and weather protection. Schurgers desingned this upgrade and it's been in common use with dutch police forces, only recently being replaced with R1200RT's. The upgrade consists of: the handlebars from an R80RT, A new fairing subframe, placing the screen about 20cm higher. K1200LT mirrors. Assorted fairing bits. I rode this bike myself and find it a huge improvement over a standard K1200GT. It offers a lot more weather protection and the seating of an RT bike. It does at a bit of weight to the front of the bike, uprated springs are generally fitted to the bikes. Price? Not sure, but I heard about 4000 euro's a few years back.. HTH, Daniël Link to comment

I thought I had seen many things for the K1200RS, but had never seen these modifications. I see they make / have made fairings for other bikes too, and that why I posted here, and not in "K-Bike Related". Links to PDF files and prices on their website did not work, so I have emailed them. It may end up being cost prohibitive unless I can find a used one, or someone in the Netherlands Law Enforcement Community to help me find the parts / instructions. Daniel, Thank you for your help! I have dear friends, Carel and Jane Koopman from over your way. They are the BEST neighbors! Warm regards, Link to comment
