Has anybody seen a pic of the Cardan Side in combination with the Single Seat ?
I'm looking for pics of the Licences Plate holder, where is the stop light, where are the turn light and so on.

Thanks, regards

The signal pods are at the end of the tail and the brake lamp is on the fender.

What kind of license plate holder are you looking for?

 

[gerry]

if you want to ride the nineT like this, you need something different that the original licence plate holder...

 

[Cafe-Davy]

I would get a axle plate bracket to go along with it in that case.

 

[gerry]

yes, something like that I'd like to see from BMW.... incl. the extension of the wiring harness.
and where do the signal pods and the brake lamp go to ?

 

[Ranger67]

It'll probably have to go somewhere under the single seat, that is the only place where its visible to other drivers.

 

[gerry]

Yeah, must be like that. But I'm looking forward to see something official from BMW. Over here customizing isn't that easy. Nearly every part has to be certified by an official authority.

that looks pretty badass, it would either need a tail tidy kit that could mount up their or something custom made.

Surprise surprise

These awaited toys are yet to be release but they will be available and made as accessories available from BMW once the bike gets priced and launched officially,maybe first pictures from the Italian bike show very soon but all the bases are covered apparently

I found some great pics from an french customizer. As it's a Hyper-modified R 1200 R, some parts will fit to the nineT and are very interresting to me. Especially the exhaust pipe, the rear wheel cover and the licence plate holder incl. signal pods and the brake lamp...

Errrrmmmmh interesting

I like the mirrors

yea thats sweet but for most it might not be practical. How many have the technical skills to reroute the wiring down there? You could def do an axle bracket for the plate but your going to need to look into something else for tail lamp and signals. Although I have to imagine Motorrad is not going to leave us dry.

...How many have the technical skills to reroute the wiring down there? ...

I don't think that this will be that difficult. I've read, that the wiring harness can be splitted. This part will have to bring the 'missing' part with it.

... Although I have to imagine Motorrad is not going to leave us dry...

I hope my nineT will not see a lot of rain. It will be my ' nice-weather-only' bike. For touring and vacation I have my GSA

 

[NineTJoe]

I believe there should be seven wires in the harness that can be split. Not too hard to do once you locate it.

@gerry

So the GSA will be the down and dirty right

Do you have saddle cases on her?

 

[gerry]

take a look in my introduction, I've posted a pic of 'Elsa'

I had the same thoghts regarding "solo riding" sit and allocation of licence plate holder + stop and turns signal.

it can be that mud guard plate from GS ADV can be, after certain amendments, used at 9T as a licence plate holder:

regarding the stop and turns signal - the best potion I see is under the short tail of solo sit or above the license plate.
On the official pictures of solo version, there are no stop and turn lights, it means they can be taken off, it means that their wiring is having a certain plug at the end.
it means that you can buy a spare wiring with plug from the dealer, make it shorter (if you will install the lights under the tail of solo sit) or enlarge its length (if you will install the lights above the licence plate above the rear wheel).
you will still keep the original length wiring, just in case you will want to make the bike back to "rider +1" configuration.

this is in theory.
looking forward to find out what will be in reality.

Good shout Becker ,my thoughts if there's not a BMW option as an optional extra but I will buy a carbon fibre one from the famous German
brand ,as it will be stronger to maybe add a led stop tail light and led indicators then add a nice carbon hugger from the same German maker to keep a uniformed look of nice carbon

I like the mirrors

I just wish those mirrors were squared, IMO they would flow much better with the rest of the overall look.

That is totally badass. Almost makes ya wanna buy a few year old R, and chop it up
