Fenlanderstrasse Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 Do the bar risers/barbacks from a 1150RT fit the R1200RT? Anyone tried it? Link to comment
David_S Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 Yep, running a set on my R12RT now Link to comment
Jon_M Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 Yep, running a set on my R12RT now I'm curious. How do these compare in function and price to the ones now offered for $70 by Suburban Machinery? Link to comment
David_S Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 Not sure. I bought mine used and there weren't any listed for the 12RT @ that time. Link to comment
Jon_M Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 Not sure. I bought mine used and there weren't any listed for the 12RT @ that time. The ones from Suburban Machinery are roughly one inch up, half an inch back. See the bottom of this page: Suburban Machinery Risers Link to comment
David_S Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 I believe the 11XXRT risers bring the bars back 1 inch and up 1 inch. So at least it leaves an option if someone wants them up but not back as far. Link to comment
Richard G Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 I also got mine from my dealer used and have looked on them but can not find any manufacturer name. They were on a traded in 1150RT. They are 1" up and 1" back. When full lock left or right the turn signal buttons get close to the tank area but there is no contact. Using these relieved the pain I was getting between my shoulders. photo attached Rich Link to comment
Fenlanderstrasse Posted August 25, 2005 Author Share Posted August 25, 2005 Thanks for the replies - I had found the Suburban-machinery ones and the Moto-techniques on the web. It seems that the Suburbans are neater, but less pull back, while the Moto-techniques give an option of reach, but not quite as neat. Now I know they will fit the 1200 as well, so I'll go for those.

I think I've reached the same conclusion about the bar-backs, but will probably go for the Suburban Machinery foot-peg kit. Too bad you can't try these things on without buying them! Link to comment
bluejoeblue Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 Did you install yourself? If so, is there a specific torque you need to tighten the screws? I am thinking of adding this to my 05 R12T Link to comment
David_S Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 I used the factory torque specs for the handle bar clamps 19Nm or 14ft lb. Link to comment
bluejoeblue Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 Thanks for the info, I will get them for my RT. Have you done anything with the rear fender? I don't have the rear fender extender and there are holes exposed I presume are for the European license tags. I have seen a rear fender logo plate you can put there to display BMW roundel.

Richard G Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 One thing you might want to do before you mount the risers is to put the risers on the handlebars and run the 4 bolts in first. I noticed 1 of the bolts on each side stuck out past the plate a little bit and made a round circle mark on the triple tree plate. I dont think it was enough to keep the bolt from tightening all the way but wasnt sure. I ground that one bolt a bit to keep it a little shorter then the riser block. Rich Link to comment
