    Progressive fork springs for F800GS, Cape/Somerset-West area

    Who can supply and/or fit progressive fork springs for my 800GS, Somerset West or Cape Town area? I had Wilbers on my Dakar, they were great, so have a preference for them. But any others also considered.

    Birds of South Africa

    I assumed it was a bird, since it sounded like it came from up a tree! I have a stream crossing my property, lots of frogs, but AFAIK no tree frogs here (Somerset-West, WC). Also, I've now listened to the call of a Painted Reed Frog, and it doesn't sound similar... Anyway, thanks for your help.

    Rust coming through powder coating

    My F800GS is 13 years old. It's still in very good condition, but points of rust are coming through the powder coating on the frame. Is there any way to treat this that doesn't involve a complete strip and re-coating? I tried painting NS1 Rust Buster over the coating, which seemed to work for...

    WTF tyre prices??

    OK, I suspect I was quoted the combo price for the E07, instead of just the rear.

    WTF tyre prices??

    I just got quoted R3750 for a Mitas E07 rear for the 800GS (150/70-17). o_O Another shop, R2700 for a Michelin Anakee Adventure... Is this what tyres cost nowadays?

    Road kill disappearing?

    I also found what @Kamanya found, less bug splat nowadays. It's difficult to quantify, though, perhaps my memory is just going :D.

    Ou Houwhoek

    Ek het eenkeer my gat gesien op hierdie stuk van die pad! Te vinnig gery, nie mooi gekonsentreer nie, toe moer ek by die afgrond af  :'( Die bike het so gebly hang "on the edge", maar ek kon dit nie uitgesleep kry nie. Toe moet ek al die pad terugstap N2 toe: 2 Harley ryers het gestop, al die...

    For sale: BMW mirror mounts (New)

    I'm cleaning out the garage and found these. I ordered them years ago for my Dakar, but received the wrong size. Not sure which bike models they would fit: at first I thought it was for the 1150, but I might be wrong... The bolt that screws into the handlebar is M8, the top part accepts an M10...
