First impressions
are awesome. I am VERY impressed. I think that the depth is somewhere between
one which would be mandatory on a show bike. Everyone wants to show off
their bikes, but I think that a lot of these bolts were not noticeable enough.
I think that less than 5% of riders (even K12 riders) can appreciate this
extensive nature of this kit. I do want to add that you're instructions
are extremely helpful. I like the idea of the fairing kit, and I don't think
\\$20.00 is too much. MONGO LIKES Good job Dude! Aram Nikitas / K1200RS / Chicago, Il |
I've never seen a
more user friendly kit of anything. If a guy has a problem installing this
kit, he should be sent away. Excellent, excellent, excellent. I can only
imagine how long it took to take the photos, etc. You definitely have too
much time on your hands. My tech that owns the Blackbird said "And I thought
I was anal!" And, he is. Waxes his toolbox, etc. Barry Gibbs / K1200RS / Dallas, Tx. |
As soon as I saw the
stainless steel fastener kit on your site I ordered it. Installing it on
my bike was very easy with the charts that were included. It is worth every
dollar I paid for. The kit looks great on my Dakar Yellow K1200RS ( by the
way the only good looking color for this great BMW bike). I have sent the
comments on the kit that I found on your site to my local BMW dealer and
maybe he will recommend your kit to his customers. Your site is updated
as a link on the pages of my BMW club www.bmwclubnederland.nl. Hope you
can keep up the good work with your products on your site. They all look
very good. Ride safe. Ed Santifort / 98 K1200RS / Alphen aan den Rijn, The Netherlands |
Hello! This is Kentaro
Yokota. How are you? I got the your products today.(SS Fairing Fastener
kit and Frame Cap kit) Thank you very, very much. I fixed these items to
my K1200RS at once. It's very cool !!! I like it. I would appreciate your
further cooperation. Thanks a lot !! Take care. ANZEN UNTEN !! TOBASE !! Kentaro Yokota / 2001 K1200RS / Kanagawa, Japan |
I recently purchased
your "Stainless Fastener Kit" for my K12... WOW impressive compilation!
Really appreciate the completeness of your kit, to include the sizing tool.
Kudos... it obviously takes a lot to accomplish quality like this. (if only
other vendors where so thorough) Chip Mills / 2000 K1200RS / Washington, DC |
Woooeeee Pirate! Your
Stainless Steel Allen Replacement Kit is wonderful! I've bought kits like
this for other bikes, but yours shows a tremendous amount of thought, research,
and responsibility. This kit has EVERYTHING and looks great, getting rid
of those FUGLY BMW allen's. Very elegant and tasteful. Heck, Pirate, one
would think you were a big-time operation with the quality and packaging
of this product. Fellow riders, I heartily recommend this product AND.....this
stainless steel won't turn gold! (inside joke.) Ron Johnson / 2002 K1200RS / Katy, TX |
The kit was well done.
very easy to understand, even for me. The pre-packaged fasteners for each
area with torque values and warnings were very helpful. This enabled me
to store the replaced screws in an orderly fashion for reassembly if need
be. Kenneth Marrow / 1999 K1200RS / Concord, CA. |
Impressive. I have
purchased stainless kits for many bikes through the years. Most were overpriced
and incomplete, but the k12 kit I just opened looks not only complete but
user friendly. Nice work and many thanks for another fine product. Blair Lawson / K1200RS / Modesto, Ca. |
This was
the second product I received from you, Mr.Pirate. The first was the Stealth
tankbag. Once again I'm impressed. The kit was better than expected. Didn't
even use all the screws but will sooner or later. I can see where the stainless
will look better on some bikes than others in certain areas, but at least
I have the option to decide for myself. Nice instructions! Keep up the good
work and keep me informed of future new products. If you are ever in the
area let me know and we'll do lunch. Phil Overby / 2000 K1200RS / Georgetown, Md |
Always hated that
BMW put the worst looking bolts on their bikes. They could learn a few
things from the Japanese in this respect. Trying to save a few pennies
at my expense, I guess. The SS kit makes all the difference. At least
to ME. Thanks for another fine offering. |
As I write this I
have a big smile on my face. Just completed the SS kit install. (see pictures)
Looks fucking great! My Graphite 99 looks better now than she ever has.
Surprisingly, my wife walked by a litttle while ago. She stopped and looked
for a minute and said .. "Something is different. I don't know what it is
but it looks better." This is the FIRST time she's ever noticed anything
I've done. You da man, Pirate. Appreciate the good customer service. You'll
be hearing from me again in the very near future. Got my mind set on that
torque arm and my birthday is coming up. Safe riding. Rick Elam / 1999 K1200RS / Mayfield, Ky. |
Install was easy thanks
to your charts. The look is greatly improved. Didn't realize that stainless
values are less than factory bolts. Nice touch including the alternate values.
Didn't use the caliper bolts but probably would have been disappointed if
they hadn't been in there. Had 2 extra fairing screws, but I always lose
one from time to time. Good thinking. Overall, a nice product at a good
price. Hope to meet and ride with you in the near future. Best wishes for
continued success with Pirates' lair. Keep me on your mailing list. Love
your cheesy newsletters. Benjamin Davis / K1200RS / Ft. Wayne, In. |
Pirate - got the kit.
Thanks a million! Got most of it installed and I am thrilled with the results.
That is one slick kit you've put together. That was no minor effort! Bruce Lundmark / 98 K1200RS / Houston, TX |
I finally
finished with replacing all the old srews with the new ones WOW WOW WOW
it's like I'm having a new bike, thanks for the great kit.You made my bike
and me pride again, thanks a lot and keep up selling the great bmw stuff. Benny De Smedt / K1200RS / Kemzeke,Belgium |

I have ever received with anything! Al Nusbaum / K1200GT / Encino, CA |
