new 'zorst on the RS

Postby Paul » Tue Nov 10, 2015 6:18 pm

Evening ladies and gents,

Just replaced my bike's ugly BMW stainless steel 'zorst with this nice carbon fibre piece of loveliness from the southern German speaking lands:

Sounds a bit fruitier too.

You really need only two tools: WD-40 and duct tape. If it doesn't move and it should, use WD-40. If it moves and shouldn't, use the tape.

Defo an improvement, but I reckon might look even better if chopped to half-length (a la Two Brothers)

If I am ever on life support - Unplug me......
Then plug me back in..........

See if that works ..... :?

Thanks for the positive comments. I would add that it's much less of a faff fitting a new end can to the RS than it ever was fiddling with the underseat cans of the R1100S!

Hi Andy,

Yes I did. It's still holding up well! Full write up is on the R1200RS forum

Cheers,
