Sport or touring?

Post by Fernheath »

I'm getting a laminar lip for my windshield but can't tell if my 2004 r1150r is a sport or touring model. Any suggestions?

the laminar lip should attach to the windshield. i guess it depends what shield you have. posting the link to the product might help.

It ask what I have, sport or touring. There's a difference in lips. My question was I don't know which is mine. Weird, but I can't find the answer anywhere.

The BMW R1150R motorcycle does not have Sport or Touring models.

Could it be possible the question is asking about windshield style?

We would like to help but need more information.

What is the windshield manufacturer?
What is the website link so we can look at it?

Fernheath - I think what everyone is saying is that the R1150R can come with either a Sport or Touring windshield, which use the same mounts, the only difference being the height of the windshield.

This is the sport model:

Hope that helps.

What are those mirrors you have in the picture. I'm getting pretty tied of my round ones. I'm running the same Windshield and find it works great.

They look like the mirrors on my K12RS. That shape gives more coverage.

Bobmws is correct! K12RS mirrors. They need a little modification (i.e. careful grinding!) around the 'fuel enrichment' lever. That's the choke for most of us.

BTW, - here's how it looks now, with the Flyscreen, painted flat black on the back.

Fernheath,

For reference, here is a pic of my bike with the touring windscreen. I have the mirrors like wncbmw. They came with the bike, so I never knew they were not original.
