K1200 / K1300 Forum / Repainting K1300S engine?
« on: September 02, 2018, 06:01:09 pm »
As typical to almost every other BMW bike I've owned, the paint on my K's engine is bubbled, pealing, flaking and missing in some places.  The fairing hides most of this and to be fair to me, it was this way when I bought it, however it's the one part I can't easily replace to restore.
Can anyone, in the UK, suggest anywhere which can repaint/respray the engine back to a nice black finish?My local BMW dealer has offered to do in their workshops for £1500, but I'm sure it can be done cheaper.

Who's Who? / Hello from the grey island of Britain

Hello all!

Just a quick introduction from the grey rainy miserable island of Britain!

K1300s rider here in Bristol.
Just looking for occasional help, advice, a chat now and then and all things 1300s. :-)

With the current deals on the Navigator V and VI, the difference between them and the Garmin options has shrunk a lot, so I'm considering getting one shortly.

However, mounting it on the bike is doing my head in with options.  With nowhere to bolt something on the handlebars, I have considered BMW's option on the battery cover and spent a while looking at other options, but there are so few out there.

Does anyone have any experience with the official BMW option?  I haven't seen any photos of real-world use with one of these.

Does anyone have any best other options which are non-destructive to the bike?  I don't really fancy making holes anywhere to fit one.
