Don't you just hate it when you pick up a hooker on your bike and she scratches the paint? You know the type: tube top, shiny silver hot pants, big platform shoes, corn-rowed hair. Well, all that's great but they usuallly have rhinestones in their long ifngernails and it kills the paint inside the passenger grab rails.

So I added some protective cups under the RS passenger grab rails. They used to put these on K75s and K100 back in the 80s. Don't know why they stopped - probably just cheap I suppose.




I also added a throttle friction screw that I pulled from my parts bike. I put a Flip-A-Lever in the but it looked kind of dorky so I went with the throttle friction screw instead.



And I finally got rid of that damned adjustable brake lever. I find the non-adjustable one gives me a much more solid feel on the brakes.

Nice mods! How did you use secure the protective cups to the bike?

They work fine. Now that I have the bars so solid it will be their real test.

They're held on by the handles. You need to remove the handles to install the cups. Even though the cups didn't come on our bikes, they used the same mold or whatever and you'll find two little holess in them that help hold the cups in.

Drake,
You need to call BMW AG in Munich and ask for the office of Dr. Hilda Von Diesel. Explain your serious dilemma to her and ask her how to properly discipline hookers who scratch your paint. Then you need to order the special BMW Ho Woopie Cushion Seat with the scratch-n-sniff leather seating option. This seat comes with all the necessary accessories to help you become a Master of Discipline such as riding crop, nipple vices, handcuffs and other necessary tools of the trade. Dr. Diesel will also send you her award winning DVD "Ve Haf Vays To Make You Enjoy Zis" at no extra charge. Dr. Diesel has an international following among the BMW faithful for helping said faithful to learn to love the way /2 transmissions shift, cracked M30 heads and getting people to believe in "Lifetime Fluids".
I'm sure you will find her both firm and helpful since it is obvious that you are a "Truly Bad Boy" who messes with Ho's

I hope you find this post helpful

Will
