Greetings all from a BMW newbe.
I'm an old Gold Wing rider who is now enjoying a 2011 R 1200 RT with just a tick under 15,000 miles on her. Love the bike but wonder if it is a good idea to get an oil cooler cover. If my RT takes a rock right in the cooler, would it then be dead on the road, as in catastrophic failure? Would my bike run hot if I installed one? What is your experience?
And if it is a good idea, which one would you guys recommend, and from whom?
Thanks for your thoughts.
