Hornig R1250R accessories
With its contemporary ShiftCan boxer engine, the R1250R has proven itself versatile and reliable in equal measure. German BMW specialist Hornig has been on a mission "to optimise BMW's popular naked Roadster with a range of accessories that further enhance the safety, comfort, style and riding experience".
Among the enhancements, Hornig says that its handlebar riser kit gives the rider a more upright posture, said to greatly improve comfort on long journeys. The aerodynamic ZTechnik VStream windshield brings additional comfort through reduced wind noise and buffeting - the ergonomically designed ZTechnik by National Cycle gets its name from its unique patented shape. The advanced "V" profile and dimensional contours push the wind vortex out and away from the rider's helmet, resulting in a peaceful, quieter riding environment.
The "+" means these windscreens are mounted with a custom mounting system specifically designed and engineered for this model of bike.
These windscreens are made from tough 4.5 mm Quantum hardcoated polycarbonate. A high- quality, high-tech material that provides outstanding clarity, strength and impact and scratch resistance unmatched by any windscreen maker worldwide, Quantum hardcoated polycarbonate "is the material of choice for serious motorcycle riders", with testing having found it to be ten times more abrasion resistant than FMR hardcoated polycarbonate, and 30 times more than windscreens made from commonly used alternates such as "aircraft plastic" or acrylic.
Additional improvements include mirror extensions; GPS mount with RAM ball and 60 mm clamp, offering an optimal and unrestricted view of accessories such as a navigation system or smartphone; adjustable brake and clutch levers; brake pedal enlargements; replacement seat; multiple luggage options offering up to 16 litres of increased capacity - double the OE capacity; stainless steel crash bars and fork crash protectors.
Other safety and design details include solid cooler protection provides; Allen key or Torx removal oil filler plug; British made Pyramid Plastics 'Extenda Fenda' ABS mud guards for enhanced suspension, exhaust and header protection - manufactured with integral registration plate holder for a clear view of the rear wheel and an enlarged wheel; and side stand foot enlargement.
The shift lever extension with O-rings delivers better grip; the footpeg lowering kit with multi-grip footpegs improves driving comfort; the ventilation holes in the rear wheel centre cover increase cooling of the Universal Joint (UJ) - together with the frame cover above the swingarm, the axle pivot cover at the UJ, the covers for the suspension and the covers for the engine mounts, and the frame and swingarm pivot covers hide or eliminate the unsightly holes of the stock R1250R frame design.
The footbrake fluid reservoir cover is a final custom touch with universal rim stripes and a Remus Black Hawk exhaust completing the conversion.
