    BEAUTIFUL Black 2008 K1200S BMW NO RESERVE NO DETRACTIONS MANY UPGRADES "Wilbers Racing Suspension" shocks (rear is easily externally adjustable by knob as shown in pics) these remote reservoir high end shocks are a big upgrade to the overall feel of this bike and is rare but nice to see the money being spent on the right things here. Suspension upgrades were close to $2k! If you have ever has the chance to ride a K1200S with dual adjustable remote reservoir EXPENSIVE externally adjustable (Knob and 2 screw 3 way well 4 really if you add spring preload as an adjustment which it is) you WILL BE AMAZED at how stable and solid a motorcycle can actually feel WOW!
