    Slimmed down and tidied up her tail 800GS

    Yes, I initially liked the WolfMan pannier Racks but then these locally made ones came out. Much cheaper and even more robust because of the back bar support. Bought from FlyingBrick  ;D

    BMW F800GSA Ride Report

    Fully agree You can get all the extras on the standard 800 en make it almost adventure and just wouldn't have the bigger tank. For now a 2Liter Coke bottle or two sorts that problem out for me.

    Slimmed down and tidied up her tail 800GS

    Wish my wife could do this  :biggrin: I initially got the idea off the Adventure Rider Site, see the white bike below, they tucked the number plate right under the brake light.

    Service workshop mishap

    I am still speechless. No real solution was found... only a better alternative to gluing the small piece back onto the engine block. The plan is now to rather use steel putty, and then re-thread the thread, sand it down and repaint. Replacing the part or even welding it (my first choice) is...

Replacing the entire lower part of the engine block (as explained by Knucklhead) for something this small is a bit extreme, yet they should have insurance for this (or even my own insurance). But then I am left stranded with no transport for...

    https://rideapart.com/articles/10-motorcycle-riding-tricks-you-dont-know-yet Does anybody here actually ride like this? What about my 800GS? "Forgive me if this sounds a little remedial, but I see a lot of guys out on the road who don’t know how to do this. Works on any bike, be it crotch...
