Does it seem like the bars offer adequate protection if the bike was laid down? It seems as if it would not but of course that makes no sense since they would then be pointless.
If you get a comfort seat its higher about 20mm which about 3/4 inch. Its quiet expensive, but with the lower foot-pegs and the seat its a total of 40mm which is nearly 2 inch's.
Hey I still have it. I have clicked about 15k kms on the bike so far. The pay couple of years my riding has been limited but the bike runs great and is a conversation starter when I do take it out.
Did you notice the difference in size between the two lower front bolts? The left one is a 70mm and the right one is a 80mm... Need to make you instal the correct one. I have read some people seriously damaged their engine block!
I installed everything loose before it was tightened down. I also read that on the forms but I didn’t have any issues. No leaks or bits of Al when I have changed the oil and I have had these bars for over three years
I didn’t but I am not that aggressive of a rider. On low speed turns I find that my feet will hit the ground first but I have lowered foot pegs as well
Looks like the guards are not far out enough to protect the cylinder heads. Thanks, but I'll get the Wunderlich guards, not as pretty but provide more engine protection.
Purchased these pegs for a 2017 RNineT Racer. Knight's website stated year and RNineT only (no sub-models listed). So, I thought by ordering the pegs listed for a 2017 RNineT, they would fit all 2017 RNineT models. Went to install and found the fit too tight. Went back to their web site to make sure I received the correct pegs (which I did). In trying to fit the new pegs I had to retract the foot peg to insert the pin; which almost worked. I thought it was me and worked the peg back and forth, which scratched my frame and the peg. Finally came to the conclusion they sent me the wrong pegs so I returned them. The generously refunded my purchase price (LESS $100 for a "re-stocking fee" and the scratched peg). BEWARE: Their pegs and web site state they fit the RNineT model; but they do not fit all of them. Their note on my refund was the pegs are model specific, but there is only 1 option to order. Very disappointed in this company. I understand the peg was scratched when I tried to install it (as was my frame), but feel this is more Knight's error than my own since their web site stated it would fit. I ended up ordering a peg lowering kit elsewhere and suggest you give these guys a pass.
Victor Carter I don’t remember all of the tools I needed. The new seat is wider and by far more comfortable. The heated feature helps on those chilly mornings as well.
my 2017 R9T handle bars have white Plus signs on them to show you exactly where they are to be positioned. if you look where the the clamp space is the bars will have that plus sign...also used to center the bars and I would never use loc-tite on bmw stuff its already overkill strength built.
Hi, really enjoyed your videos, I've just installed the Sato (from japan) heavy handle bar weights, I've found I get a little bit of numb fingers. Sorted, Have you had this slight problem?
judeoko vibration on my bike does not numb my fingers even after 8 hours of riding. Have you had your throttles synchronized recently? I have read that this causes excessive vibration.
Hi, watched all your videos on your r nine t, I bought one in December. Noticing we are the same size and age I thought I'd mention the mirror extenders by wunderlich. They make such a big difference with the standard mirrors as you can see behind and not your shoulders. I've put on the crash bars the foot peg lowering kit and the handle bar risers. Regards Shaun (from uk)
I must have bigger shoulders😁, I have been contemplating the bar end mirrors as they look cool. Thing is that split second you have to twist and look down could be a safety issue hmmm. You put them on so I can get your thoughts.
judeoko my thoughts are exactly the same I don’t like tilting my head down to use my mirrors so they will stay where they are. However I may get some Rizoma mirrors the extend out a little bit. Are you on the R Nine T forms?
Fantastic mod, transforms the back end, great video too. Added to my collection of little projects, appreciate the upload a lot, cheers. Will look out for more of your videos to see the end product.
I got the fairing used and i didnt have the spacer and bolt. Are the bolts same length as the factory bots and what is the length of the spacers? I need to find alternative..
I believe the bolts that hold the fairing to the triple clamp are longer. Without removing them I couldn`t tell you exactly how long. I would recommend using some stainless steel or Aluminium washers as spacers and then stack them for the desired thickness.
smoothdurban thank you so much! One more question, what are the two pointy plastic nails with the rubber washers for? That run perpendicular to the fork bolt? It doesnt seem to hold anything in place.
Tonyzee those plastic washers simply act as a buffer between the bracket and the fork. My guess would be they keep the bracket from making permanent marks on the fork tube
Tonyzee I haven’t had to change to bulb 💡 but I would imagine it would need to be removed. There are 4 small screws through the front that are easily accessed.
Robin Knight not a problem. Just wanted to share my experience with a great product. I have ridden all summer with these on my bike (6000 miles 8500 kms) and the comfort the gave me was well worth the investment. The quality is top notch and the finish is great too.
