upflying Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 I think they both serve their own purposes well. Great how the face of the CHP officer has been covered by Photo Shop. Wouldn't want to get him fired for that stunt. Link to comment
effexer1 Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 Can you really get an 1100 or 1150 to do that? I could bring my Harley FXR up, no problem, (had a little work done on her) but I can't get the front wheel of the RT off the ground. Also, I'm scared of hurting the clutch or drive shaft or rear end. Link to comment
BailyD Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 Yes, you can. Don't ask how I know! It's a 1200 though, : ) Link to comment

Pilgrim Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 That's great, John. 'Glides oughta be black - in fact, if I ever get to be Emperor ... Pilgrim Link to comment
Bob_Minor Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Yes, you can. Don't ask how I know! It's a 1200 though, : ) Valve covers and headlight say 1150. Link to comment
BailyD Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Sorry, I meant mine was a 1200 not the 1100 or 1150. Link to comment
wbrissette Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 John, When you perfect a way to keep that black bike clean let me know!! You don't buy black My Buell Ulysses only gets washed when it rains or when I forget to tell the HD dealership not to wash the bike. The RT will get washed every now and again, but I like the silver, it doesn't show the dirt as bad. Wayne Link to comment
philbytx Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 IMHO - When it comes to transportation, Black is beautiful but White is Right (for TX at least) ! My Black 03 RT always gets thumbs up and lots of lookers when I'm on the road...or stopped even! More than one person has said "Pretty bike"....however, keeping it nice is hard work as our chip and Seal roads play havoc with the paintwork. I am forever using the colour touch-up stick on it.... I have an Alpine White BMW E34 5series and it is the perfect colour for Texas. I am considering pricing out a nice Alpine White Paint job for the RT! Anyone ever done a custom paint job on their R1150RT???? Link to comment
ollka Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 I did custom paint on 1200. Half an hour to undress her tupperware. I´d expect you´ll undress yours in an hour. Take few sheets of carboard, push holes in it to mark fairing bolts and insert them in right order. After tupperware is painted, you´ll get everything back in right order very easy. Link to comment
