2010 BMW R1200RT

January 11, 2010
From looking at the new RT it appears that our driver and passenger footpeg kits will fit.
The new shift lever is cast aluminum with an adjustable nose piece that will accommodate large shoe sizes.
The handlebar up kit will have some problems.


This is a close-up shot of the 2010 handlebar.
It mounts with three bolts that measure in as having the same spacing pattern as earlier models.
There is however, no excess slack in the throttle cables or the brake hose.
To move the handlebar, new throttle cables would be required.
These could probably be made by Motion-Pro in California.

 

 


-Brake line view from above-

Inside the fairing the brake hose ends in a fitting that is swaged into a small block of steel.
The steel line on the left side runs to the ABS controller.
Another steel line runs forward to a mating steel block swaged to a second braided hose that runs to the calipers.
This arrangement is unique to this bike and a longer hose may not be available in the aftermarket.
If the factory installed a one inch longer hose the kit would fit with replacement throttle cables.
 

 
   


-View from the front fender looking into the fairing-

Here you can see the two steel blocks bolted to a mounting bracket.

It is a very nice arrangement, but our R2 handlebar up kit will not currently fit on this bike.
