BMW 1200 Rallye, I am drooling. Probably the most beautiful bike for me, and then it so capable. "If I were a rich man..."🎶

Are anybody still looking for a Zumo 660 bike mount? I also got one available.

My 1150GS' exhaust is rattling where the silencer fits to the collector box. No matter how tight I turn the clamp bolt, it still is loose. Anybody know how to fix this? It's hanging only bracket on the frame.

Is this still available? You've got a pic?

A walking workshop manual on so many bikes. Always had a answer or reason for a bike related problem. Will surely be missed.

On my pig I've got the ABSIII system with servo brakes.  It seems the rear brakes' motor stopped working.  Front is still fine, but the rear brakes is non existent when the bike is on.  As soon as I use the rear brakes or pull the front brakes hard both brake lights on the display starts...

Thanks, will try. Do you have the plastic topbox? Can you post a pic?

It's not worthwhile to try and weld it at the cracks, BTDT.  I had to replace it and reinforced it.  On my "new" GS the support brackets from Chris fits well, so I hope it works. I also realised that in future the topbox will be as empty as possible, only the store the helmet when I'm off the...

Nog beskikbaar? Waar in Gauteng is jy?

The gravel boots, what size is it, 45,46?  I'm not sure about the 10,5.
