So I got some shock soxs to prevent another leak

Hold the boat. Nice R, but show us some pics of the UrS6. Had a '94 S4 a few years back, miss that thing. Pastore chipped running 22+psi of boost with the Stromung exhaust, thing ran good. Ended up modding it all up, driving it into a creekbed , then sold it to a guy who drove it from Ohio to northern Canada.

Very nice, mines a 95 with 3 inch magnaflow and stiffer wastegate spring and lowered

Very clean. Love the body style on the older German cars.

Me too, love them, I had a 5000 Quattro in high school and a 200 cs, then went to a b6 a4 and now I have the ur. I also have a mk5 gti with stage 3 apr. It's my monster weekend car

Thanks, it's my RT "Light"

Fit and finish on the fairing is exceptional and for me it flows air better than anything else I've tried. I'll have to take it out for an extended tour to really get a feel for it.

Tell us about the bags. Are they top loading? What are their size? more pictures?

The bags appear to be Givi E21s

Yes Givi E21's with an SW Moto rack. Great bags.

...got my '08 this weekend. 12K, ABS, sweet bike.
It's due for a brake bleed. I've done other servo ABS Beemers, but not this new gen ABS.
Any pointers?

Also, I'm looking for the little doors/plugs at the rear that cover the rack bolts if anyone has a pair...

[celticus]

I just shipped the ABS module from my 07 R1200R off for repair.

O.K., I found this :
'07-09 Brake Fluid Flush

I still don't get why you need to remove the caliper to bleed it...

Don D. is doing a Flush in that tutorial. My guess is that you remove the rear caliper so you can spred the shoes to push out the old fluid. I used this tutorial myself and took the advice to buy the speed bleeders. I'm glad I did. Makes things go quicker.

Decided to go with the Trophy Fairing from Wunderlich and I am very happy with the results
