I have a set of the kineo wheels on my 13 lc te , bought them secondhand fitted with new pilot road fours and tyre pressure monitors and they had also been newly powder coated, £500. So far no problems, the 13 lc can be made to read two sets of tyre monitors. The bike handles very quick, no problems from the abs, just brilliant.
New R1250 Rallye with 17” wheels.

@ Arsey # 2 ; Happy new year to you too...
I actually have not self combusted but "global warming" is sooo bad that Kalifornia looks more like Siberia and roads are covered in snow,ice and cinders...not good for riding.
Got me a new bike though.Not the "R1250GS-XR" with 17" wheels straight from Berlin but traded the 2017 R1200GS-ADV in Triple black for a 2019 R1250GS-ADV in Nazi-Panzertank Grey.Love bike & color
and will report how much faster it is than the 1290 KTM once it is broken in and I can finally use the 5000rpm + cam-lobes...
I will report in April after running it hard in Mexico how much better it is than the old 1200;so far it feels the same except the engine feels perfect as in fueling,TORQUE and the mechanical noises coming from the valvetrain are finally gone.
And my old Akra-3 fit perfectly so the upgrade cost me only 10 grand...
Now all we need is some real global warming because cold weather and motorcycles don't mix !
B.t.w. love the black Exclusive with the golden painted rims...

Thanks for the reply, much appreciated
So we shouldn't expect any electronic issues on a 1250 lc after taking it to a dealer; and the ESA will detect and interpret the angle change as a physical weight change and by adding an 1" of preload to the new shock pushes it back up, but this wouldn't work on a bike with auto ESA ? .. Appreciate that the desired end result is faster steering and better handling with a smaller front wheel but might there be a handling trade-off by adding 1" of preload ? Regards

Will be even better once the headers arrive and it’s been to Geoff’s for a remap. Handling was quite good coming back through the twisties in the Scottish Borders on Michelin Power RS tyres. Will be better still once I’ve had a bit play with the Ohlins.
I’m not a fan of carbon fibre though I do have a load of stuff off my last Adv to put back on.

It helps to have an excellent dealer in Motorrad Central in Dalkeith, whose staff cared as much as me about ensuring the finished article lived up to my expectations.
You need to make some spacers for the top fixing points on the front mudguard and use the existing side fixings with a hidden bracket.
