The R 1200 CL has a wheelbase of

1641mm, which is actually 9mm shorter

than the Classic. The rake angle and trail

measurement have also been changed.

The chassis geometry was re-considered

for the R 1200 CL due to the wider tires and

the different character required for a Luxury

Cruiser. The angles were a calculated deci-

sion, resulting in both appearance and

functionality. These changes necessitated

the following new components specifically

made for this bike;

• 30 mm longer telelever control arm,

• wider chrome plated upper fork bridge,

• wider lower fork brace with repositioned

ball joint mounting socket

Additionally, the attachment points for the

brake calipers had to be modified to com-

ply with the EVO caliper dimensions requir-

ing new stanchion tubes for the front forks.

The telelever control arm pivots at the

engine mounting location on a continuous

hollow shaft, which is held in maintenance-

free ball bearings.

The front frame section is made of die cast

aluminum, which is the best method for

moulding shapes and surfaces. It’s firmly

attached to the crankcase at four points.

The cast frame provides a mounting point

for the new chrome plated, forged alu-

minum, upper fork bridge. The fork bridge

steering bearings are reinforced double-

row flute bearings.
