2004 R1150RT with Kisan Signal Minder with clear front turn signal lenses.
Has anyone used a switchback LED bulb with a signal minder?
I was hoping that using the running light function on the signal minder with a switchback LED bulb would give me what I want - a wide, white running light and...
Over the winter I upgraded the front lighting on my new-to-me 2003 R1150RT. This was prompted by my first (and only) ride home on the bike after dusk, one week after I bought it last November. The headlight was abysmally dim. After doing a little bit of research I discovered it wasn't a problem...
Soooooo, after burning out yet another H7 bulb, I realized that I had fried the wiring near the connector.
My motorcycle being a 2012, the cheap plastic holders for the light connectors had broken long ago. I never thought twice of it, until yesterday. The connector was discolored, and the...
From the Skene website, the description of their dimmer (a PWM unit) has the following info on LED light compatibility. This is the first such site I have seen and the info below is priceless! Lamps that will work with the IQ-275 ought to work with the ezCAN, although there are no guarantees...
I've got my headlight assembly apart to replace the adjusting grommets and decided to convert everything I can over to LED while its apart. Does anyone know if I can replace the warning lights with LED's? I have found a bulb which will work I think on superbrightleds.com. 74-xHP3. I'm thinking I...
Hello fellow RT'ers. I don't know about you, but I was not happy with the amount of light on the back of my 15' RT. Don't get me wrong, I do like the LED tailight, but I wanted MORE - a full "triangle" of light which incorporated the top case and side cases! I'm pretty happy with my results -...
I wanted some extra light for my RT, but did not want to pay the ~$800 for the BMW versions. LED lights are becoming commodities, and I found some nice quality ones for ~$35 a piece. Installation involved a little soldering, cable routing, and attachment of some mounting clamps. The lights...
ok, a little remiss in posting but here goes...
My 2013 R1200RT, Sassy, was yearning for a roomie...she wanted a friend with a bit more spunk so i stopped by Long Beach BMW Motorcycles and brought home this...
2015 S1000R.....Duke is his name...!
ok, so he is not quite like on the showroom...
At least one, and maybe two, lights have gone out on the gauges for my '03 K1200RS. Since I have to pull the tupperware to replace them, I might as well look into LED's for all 16(!) lamps. The part number is 62142306126 - 12V 3W T10 base. The big question is light output. I can find suitable...
When I picked up my 2011 R1200RT, I noticed that inside the "glove box" cover, there was a spring clip. It looked intended to hold a small flashlight.
I checked the BMW accessories, and the parts fiche for all the R-series. No luck. The K1600 has the same clip and that parts fiche showed a...

I installed a Knight Riderz on a 2007 R1200RT and have it wired as follows. I connected a relay in line so the power comes off the aux rear power plug, use the aux ground as well, aux power runs the tail lights, the tail/brake wire triggers the relay to send 12v to the brake side of the Knight...
Hi folks!
I have searched the forum extensively before posting this, but didn't really find what I was looking for.
Got an 2004 R1150RT and want to buy some spare light bulbs to keep on hand. The manual is listing the Rear Light and Brake Light in DIN standard (72601) and "Standard...
I would like to add a set of Denali LED driving lights to my RT. Can anyone point me in the right direction for a bolt-on mount like this one, which is for an F800ST. I would like something that mounts underneath the oil cooler using the existing inner fairing bolts. I've also looked at the...
