Virtually every superbike on the market comes from the factory with a slipper clutch....MV Agusta, Ducati, Bimota, etc... all save for the BMW K1200S and K1200R. I guess the Germans didn't think we deserved one for our paltry $20,000 entry fee. Well.. Pirates' Lair is looking out for you. Check out this imported Slipper Clutch from MBC of Germany.

Are you a serious corner carver? Do regular track days? If you answer yes to either of these questions you probably know how much you need a slipper clutch. Heavy braking by downshifting, especially going into a turn, can lead to unnerving chattering at the rear wheel as well as loss of traction. Experienced riders overcome this problem with a gentle pull on the clutch lever, thereby reducing the transference of this force to the rear wheel. Under normal engine load this system works “OK”, but when over running the clutch is able to slip. When using a slipper clutch, the rear wheel maintains optimal contact with the road surface. Less rear tire chattering or hop and more rubber on the pavement = Better control of the motorcycle. Better control= Faster lap times.
While as of this writing I have not done this install, they tell me it's quite easy. The clutch facing, the clutch cage, and the membranous spring are used from the stock clutch system. Fits the BMW K1200S and K1200R only!
