*SOLD*

BMW R1200 GS Model: 2004 Mileage: 78,000 km Heated Grips ABS Well looked after. Just had its 80,000km [major] service with Northside BMW. Other info: * Front tyre - continental TKC80 (70% tread left) * Rear tyre - Heidenau K60 Scout (60% tread left) * Panniers - BMW vario (expandable and...

That was my concern too, but it was only [slightly] hotter with the 2nd light that I tried because it filled the entire space in front of the oil-cooler. Still, the temp indication was only one notch higher than usual on a mix of city and highway riding. With the two light-bars I tried however...

awesome idea! thanks

*I had this on a previous thread but because I have gone through an interesting learning-curve I thought I'd put it all in one post.* LED Light-bar for a GS I came up with an idea to put a central LED Light-bar on my GS, instead of going the twin spots (one on each side) route. Having things...

I thought i'd share this with you guys. When I bought my 2004 1200GS three years ago, it had a pretty acute brake disc judder which was very noticeable under hard braking or when riding two-up. Since I didn't have much cash left after the purchase, I lived with this problem for time being. It...

Jonway rather than a BWS???  :laughing4: some people just don't get it. A BWS is a legendary fun scooter with 2-stroke attitude and awesome handling. A Johnway is a piece of Sh!T that is underpowered and will fall apart after a week. my biggest irritation is the multitudes of cheap scooters of...

UPDATE: So I went to china mall in bruma and found a 1350 lumen single-row light-bar for R400 which slotted in nicely under the headlight without obstructing the oil cooler much. I decided to fit it with cable ties to test it before doing a more permanent installation as I was a bit concerned...

Thanks for the help AMZ! concerning the legality, I'm not too bothered by the law on technicalities such as these either, but thought it relevant anyway.

Thanks! Would this diagram illustrate that?

Yes I have thought about it too, and the intended placement could indeed block a bit of airflow, but in all fairness I have done a lot of really slow technical riding in hot conditions and the bike was far from running hot. Placement is not the major issue right now though as I will decide on...

Has anyone tried to put a light bar on their bike? I'm thinking of doing this to my GS; one light bar in the middle below the headlight, instead of the normal small round light on either side of the bike set-up. for example...

thanks!

Where in gauteng / joburg can i find a handlebar bag similar to this? I once saw a few at cash convertors for about R200 each and they were all gone when I went back to buy one :(

Hi guys, it's worth a mention that Brad in Edenvale who sells used BMW spares is a man of his word! I bought a rear shock from Brad in September as my original shock had blown the seal. As I left Brad said, "if you have any problems, bring it back". I fitted the shock but unfortunately, less...
