The
fasteners on your K'ster are crap. They rust..
they corrode.. and they are profoundly ugly... and for $17,000.. BMW
should be ashamed. You know it.. I know it. Now, the Pirates' Lair
tradition of offering exclusive K12 products continues with the BMW K1200RS Stainless Steel Fastener Kit. Add
class and beauty to your BMW K1200RS with the finest grade of stainless
steel screws, nuts, bolts, and washers that money can buy. Have you
checked your nuts lately? You should!
This kit essentially
replaces all "visible" fasteners and contains over 100 pieces
and 20 different sizes of socket head, button head, and low-head bolts.
Each size is individually labeled and bagged and is furnished with location
chart. Does the kit replace every nut, screw, and bolt on the bike?...
NO. As this is primarily a cosmetic enhancement, I see no reason
to replace bolts that we never see or are mostly hidden from the elements
or that look better in black as are a few of the lower cowling screws.
However, I have included, as part of the kit, a screw/bolt measuring gauge so you can measure
and replace any others on your own. Also, I have purposely decided NOT
to furnish replacement pieces for the engine to frame bolts. Why? Because
BMW has chosen these bolts for their specific tensile strength. I trust
them to know what they are doing. Be aware that as the material of the
bolts will change with this kit, torque specs will too. With each kit
I will furnish a recommended torque value chart for A2 Class 70 Stainless
fasteners. Final torque decisions will be 100% yours.
Note: If you are ordering from Europe,
be aware that your 2001 is the US 2002 model. When ordering, just let
us know which body style you have.. early or late model.
