1. If you are absolutely determined to turn your 06+ GT into an LT... er....that's not nice... . I mean.. if you are looking for more wind protection for your GT.. Aeroflow now has Aeroguard Wind Deflectors which attach to the side of the fairings to block wind and rain off your hands. Clear $179.95 or smoke $199.95. In case you didn't know.. they also offer a couple of different windshields for the GT offering lots of protection and ugliness.

2. In last months cheesy newsletter we mentioned that we had received confirmation from a customer that R& G Racing K1200S Frame Sliders .. upper frame, front fork sliders, and shaft protectors will also fit the 2006+ BMW K1200GT's! We were told that the upper frame sliders will require a few spacers to be made in order to make it look complete. Well we just received a file from this same customer. How-To Adapt the K1200S R&G Frame Sliders to the 2006+ K1200GT in PDF form.. This should be invaluable for those who are thinking about doing the GT Install. Thx, Paul.

3. 2008 will bring an all black K1200R to the world market...Not only black panties....er.. plastic, but the frame, drive shaft and wheels matched in black. Here's a look..

4. New K1200GT owner and want/need/desire clear front blinker lenses?? Of course you do.. and Hornig of Germany has them!!

5. If you are waiting for a new air box for your K1200S or GT, I just got word from BMWNA that they won't be in until later this month. In case you've been on Citi Alpha 5, some of the 06 model S and GT's have air boxes that, due to heat, are warping causing air leaks and subsequent poor idling. If you have the problem BMW will replace the air box under warranty.. If you don't.. they won't..

6. Heads Up: Due to a variety of reasons/circumstances including fluctuations of the Aussie dollar, low product demand , high cost of manufacturing materials, and I'm sure George Bush's failed foreign policies... MotorCycle Cruise is discontinuing the K1200RS cruise controls effective immediately. As of this writing all are gone.. there will be no more.. or so they tell me or if they do decide to produce more, they will be under an all new price structuring. FYI.. The Aussies will be keeping an extensive inventory of replacement parts should those ever be needed.. Aint' procrastination a bitch?

7. We just got off the phone with ZTechnik.. They told us they will NOT be producing aftermarket windshields for the K1200R Sport. They actually tried and ran into serious mold problems. "Mold" as in plastic forming.. not fungus.

8. ZTechnik has a new radar detector/GPS/IPod mount on the market for the 2006 & Up K1200GT and it is visually impressive. The centrally mounted ZTechnik GT TechMount is sleek, stylish, and amazingly attractive unlike virtually everything else on the market. You won't be ashamed to have it on your bike.

The ZTechnik GT Tech Mount matches the bike's form and style, while providing a safe, secure central mounting location for a wide variety of accessories. Range of movement and adjustability are the same as all ZTechnik Techmount ball and socket systems meaning you can adjust this sucker into a 100+ positions. Silver finish only. Fits virtually all radar detectors. Plenty strong for GPS's. Sleek, small, sexy. It fits the 2006 & Up K1200GT Only..

2. We just found out that the Pack Parts Carbon Fiber Front Fender we've been selling for the K1200S will also fit the 2006+ BMW K1200GT.

3. As mentioned in the perfectly worded blurb above, ZTechnik has a new radar detector/GPS/IPod mount on the market for the 2006 & Up K1200GT and we have them here.. These come in a silver finish only and mount directly center of the rider for a perfect view. Fits virtually all radar detectors. Plenty strong for GPS's. Sleek, small, sexy. It fits the 2006 & Up K1200GT Only..

4. For our socially elite MV Agusta customers we just added fork slider kits for the 2006-2007 F4 1000R and Brutale 910R

5. OK... After serious late night board meetings, heated deliberations within the head of the company, and of course numerous fatties we've decided to cave to the hungering masses and add a complete K1200R Carbon Fiber Section to our menu. We'll start small and add products as we figure out what the sicko K1200R guys want. If you have any suggestions.. let us know. Our first large shipment should be in in about 2 weeks which will include belly pans, front and rear Carbon Fiber fenders, etc. etc...A lot of the stuff will cross over to the R Sport. Save up!

6. Tired of being shunned by everyone except for the blind? Our first shipment just arrived of the LED V1 Taillight Kits from Pack Parts of Germany should be a dream come true to any BMW K1200R or R Sport owner. Why? Because in case you hadn't noticed, your factory tail light is an abomination to all mankind and most of the known universe. There I've said it. Disagree with me and you're wrong. The V1 LED Taillight is simply a thing of beauty and is guaranteed to turn that baboon-looking rear end into an ass Jessica Alba would envy. Our supply is limited. Expensive, unpainted, and worth every freakin' penny/peso/doubloon. I only wish to the god above that these fit my K1200S. Fits the BMW K1200R and K1200R Sport Only.

7. Got an MV Agusta, Yamaha, or Ducati and want to add something that will attract women like bums to spare change? Sure you do.. We should be getting our first shipment any day now of these British-made Billet Aluminum MV / Yamaha / Ducati Gas Caps. These are simply the finest looking billet gas caps I've ever seen and I've been around longer than dirt. Are we not worthy? I have one on both my Yamaha R1, my MV F4, and my BMW K1200S. A special thanks to our good friends at Oberon Engineering in the UK for producing these for us...

I'm pretty sure these will fit virtually every MV Agusta (including the Brutales) as well as virtually all late model Yamahas and Ducatis. If in doubt..Email me and we'll figure it out.

Well.. the last K12 rally of the year is upon us, friends. Again it'll be at the Tapoco Lodge at Deal's Gap again for 2007, Sept 27th - 29th. I'll be arriving Thurday noon-ish!! Pretty sure Amber will not attend this year due to family obligations. This'll be the last K12 Rally of the year, my friends. Be there or forever regret it like the time you blew that chance with those twins because you misread the subtle signals they were giving you..

Friday noon meal (at 1:00pm) will be at the Troll Restaurant in Helen, Ga (under the bridge)
Saturday noon meal (at 1:00pm) will be at the Bistro, Telico Plains, Tennessee (western end of the Cherohala)

As usual, Fri and Sat evening will consist of tall tales, video worthy of Americas Most Wanted, and food in the Lodge. No set times. No set activities or rides. Everything is as loose as a Thai hooker.

Alternate Lodging in Robbinsville, NC. Microtel Motel.
