S1000XR

[telbenj]

On the accessories page for the XR, it mentions a locking mount (factory fitted), but the mount from the factory isn't lockable.

I'll see what that's all about when I speak to my dealer this morning.

Cheers Nutty
It does seem a bit odd and to be fair a real pain in the butt, to have to keep removing it.

HP levers and engine guards fitted today; they are lovely, and feel SO much better than the crap they fitted at the factory!

If you're going to change your levers, don't piss about with aftermarket crap that will interfere with the cruise control, just get the HP ones, they're great.

How much are the HP levers Nutty, the standard ones are a stretch for me on the clutch side any way.

400 miles on the bike this weekend, damn this is one brilliant bike.

I can't wait to get the first service out the way, and unleash the beast within.

Out of curiosity how come the levers interfere with the cruise control?

Because in the lever assy on the sport and se model bikes there are 2 rocker switches so I'm told, the aftermarket levers (that i also brought as well ) were designed on a stock bike with no shifter and so there is only one rocker switch in the assy.

But they can fitted with a little know how, I'm on the case


At £40 a pop against £280, the HP may be cnc but £280 i fitted the same levers on a brand new crossrunner yesterday and they were perfect.

It's a US10. Perfect for my overnight trip to the Hograost. I've also got a US30 for longer trips, but would need to mount it to the luggage rack (when it arrives from BMW ), as getting my leg over the 10 was hard enough, with my back!

Yep, it's the cruise control tags that are the issue, with aftermarket levers.

Dave, you've spent a fortune on your bike, and have ordered a load of HP stuff/ Akra, so why are you putting cheap £40 levers on the bike?

I have the BMW large soft bag (thrown in as a sweeter) but that will be too big for every day which was why I am looking at tank bags
fancy the bags connection evo city but that kriega looks good on there

I'm not a fan of tank bags. For me, the Kreiga stuff is fantastic. Once you have the straps under the seat, it takes about 2 seconds to strap down the bag, so is a doodle to use, and it looks great.

my bro's having issues rejecting his new bag of shite MV because they're trying to blame the cheap levers for messing with the clutch/quickshifter..Chinese levers are incredible value for money i bought some for the monster. but i do regret it cos every bike i see has exactly the same ebay levers! Go with the Gilles HP ..its not just a lever..its art. plus you'll get most of ya money back when you sell on

If he's trying to reject his bike for that reason, it ain't gonna happen!

If you're going to spend near on £15k for a bike, another £280 for levers is a drop in the ocean!

Even cheaper if you negotiate them with the bike, which I didn't do, as I thought the ones from my R would fit!

I sold them for £200 though, so they do hold a large percentage of their value if you ever have to sell them.
