Please correct me if I'm wrong here, but I think Garmap is not Garmin. They compete with Garmin and are also South African. And I think that potentially there can be and have been some issues with Trax4Africa compatability with the Garmin software (Mapsource as I recall). Maybe it's all solved...

Guys, I was reading some of you don't like Garmap. And like Trax4Africa better. I have an older version of Garmap and was going to renew it. I had Trax4Africa but never found it so useful, but maybe I need to try it again. As far as I knew, the two systems weren't really in competition, but...

Speaking of the 276C being discontinued, I was reading that the A-10 Warthog is also being discontinued....hijack....... Seriously tho, that's one cool plane. Wonder if it will be possible to buy a used one in good nic when it finally goes thru? OK OK Mr. Moderator....sorry man. I hear they...

Good discussion. I did something like this for my R80 G/S a LONG time ago. Crash bars as well as racks. Unless you are a really good arc welder, why not get someone to weld it for you? Won't cost so much and then they have their own gear: MIG is probably best. And will be a really good job...

Ladies, Gents and WD's, What sort of fuel consumption are you getting with either HP2 Enduro or 1200 GS(A)'s? I'm trying to see if mine is normal, and also for planning. If you can say if it was high speed or low speed cruising, and/or on or off road. I just started measuring mine and driving...

Hey L&G, I've been lurking but I should introduce myself. I'm living in Holland now, but was born in Canada. And spent 15 years in Safrika: Secunda, Joburg and Cape Town. As well as some time in West Africa, Far East, Algeria and a few other places. I have an HP2 Enduro now: just bought it a...

Guys, My bike's electrics have turned off then on a couple times when my bike fell over. Once after a slow speed sand crash, and twice (I think) when the bike fell over on the stand (high winds). No damage and only way I knew was the clock reset itself. I have an HP2 Enduro. Am still getting...

Why do you want to electrocoat the mild steel? There have been some good posts here, but can you say what the issue is you're trying to address? One might cause more issues than you solve: as some have already said. And maybe there's a completely different solution, like making the part out of...

The BEST bike would be a DIESEL bike. You can ALWAYS buy diesel: always a truck around and they run on diesel. It's always cheaper. Good mileage. Check this machine! https://dieselmotorcycles.eu/ 900 km on 20 liters of diesel!!! Or check this if you want a smaller bike...

The wattle pole is a great idea! In fact you could always carry one: just in case. And would be good for self defence too, a bit like a lance. Could do some jousting if you met other bikers you didn't like. Could be like a knight-of-old and ride around correcting injustices. And maybe looking...

Guys (and gals?), As feedback to my question. Woody of Woody's Wheelworks has indeed made what looks like a great side stand bracket (BMW calls this part the pillow block/side support). It's stainless steel. https://www.woodyswheelworks.com/ Sells for USD220, c/w S&H to USA destination. Less if...

Hi there, Has anyone made a centre stand for an HP2? Or reinforced their existing side stands? The HP2 side stand is a bit flimsy where it attaches to the frame, even with the metal block instead of the initial aluminium one. Mine flexes easily and then the bolts start to bend and deform. The...
