NEW Handguards Installation on R1200R
Posted: Sat Aug 16, 2008 3:15 pm
There have been lots of posts on this subject without too many speciifics. I hope this will help others with the same situation as mine; NEW GS handguards for the R1200R.
The short answer is they will work but not without a modification. At the end of the handguard where it bolts into the handlebar is where you need a modification. We used the large round washers and bolts out of a Throtlemeister kit. When you put this large washer on the end of the handguards using the Throtlemeister bolts it allows you to secure to the bars. It took maybe 10-15 minutes.
They look great and fit perfectly.
