All,
In an attempt to extend the comfort range and the potential riding season of the R1200R, I fitted some new farkles to my bike which include Wunderlich hand guards, a 22'' wind screen for the Parebellum Scout fairing, MRA X bolt on wind deflector, and a Sargent premium foam conversion.
I thought I would share for those of you considering the same additions and wanted to see them fitted to the bike. Enjoy.

Great additions... looks like you're ready to ride.
... off topic, but from the looks of it, you fried some turkeys this year

I'm a fan of the Wunderlich handguards. I tried Barkbusters first, but prefer the slightly less noticeable look of the clear Wunderlich guards. Between those and the heated grips, I can ride into the mid-40s just wearing my Held Steves, with no liners under them. Comfy.

I love it. By far the best motorcycle upgrade I have ever invested in. The difference between the stock plank and the Sargent is really night and day.
If I had to describe it I would say you sat ON the stock seat, and you sit in the Sargent. Love it.

LOL, yes, one for Thanksgiving and one for Christmas and did some nuggets for a party. Easily makes the best turkey. Even started dabbling in making my own injectable marinades.

Thanks, I want to get a few more miles on the stock seat but this conversion caught my eye.

Do not be afraid of the dry rub as well. Once you dunk the bird in the oil it sears the spice to the skin making for a decadent treat.
