Author Message   Redscuell Posted on Tuesday, January 13, 2009 - 06:19 pm:        I was surprised to learn, upon skimming through my newly-arrived 09 parts book, that the 1125 is supplied with a secondary rear fender, p/n M0549.1AM that is Australia-only. Leave it to the Aussies to decide they know better than other countries how a motor vehicle s/b equipped.   Hooliagn Posted on Tuesday, January 13, 2009 - 06:24 pm:        What is that thing for ?   Fresnobuell Posted on Tuesday, January 13, 2009 - 06:30 pm:        Why on earth would BMC use that part? is it some gov't requirement? PS--Time to hit some twisties...   Doerman Posted on Tuesday, January 13, 2009 - 06:55 pm:        This is a more aerodynamic tailpiece. Get's you at least 5KPH more on the top end.   Buellborn Posted on Tuesday, January 13, 2009 - 07:04 pm:        I think each country has regulations concerning the amount or rear wheel that can be throwing crap at you. A BMW dealer ex[lined it to me. I guess the hole in the middle made it "not a mud flap?" If you think about it the Firebolt tail on the longer frame does nor cover as much. I would guess thats where the extended frame mount started life anyways. Or to compensate as a design point against the huge front fairing on the first released R model.   Fresnobuell Posted on Tuesday, January 13, 2009 - 08:33 pm:        Or to compensate as a design point against the huge front fairing on the first released R model. Yeah okay, we get it already. You don't like the R. You have made that abundantly clear. You sure this isn't Brad1445 in disguise? Comments are amazingly similar.   Court Posted on Tuesday, January 13, 2009 - 08:44 pm:        >>>is it some gov't requirement? Yes. The Queensland folks have also been in a tug of war over front license plates.   Buellborn Posted on Tuesday, January 13, 2009 - 09:24 pm:        You don't like the R. You have made that abundantly clear. You sure this isn't Brad1445 in disguise? Comments are amazingly similar. Huh? What do you think only one person in the world think the styling on the R is 'interesting'? So I have a return your question, are you some sort of stalker? Some sort of your either with us or against us element type attitude when in fact life has many looks differently from different angles to each person. You will see what I'm talking about when revision B hits the street.   Tasmaniac Posted on Tuesday, January 13, 2009 - 09:28 pm:        Just like our Holden Monaro's and Utes we export to the USA as Pontiac's they have loads of differences.   Lunatic Posted on Tuesday, January 13, 2009 - 11:22 pm:        we have been getting lots of work orders for not having the "mudflap" in perth front plates, they been pushing for it here aswell. the question i ask is where do you put a front non metal plate on a naked bike, and still look good
