If you know someone with a milling machine, it should not be too difficult to make one like that. (or two so that they look the same...) Engineering plastics like acetal / delrin will work quite well. Aluminium is also an option. I have made a couple of replacement parts for a friend's bike so...

Hi Krok, There is a bit of a technique to it: My AC is generally accepted to have a more clunky gearbox than the LCs, but my gear shifts are now 100% quiet - you literally can not hear anything when switching from 1 through to 3 (which seems to be where the clunk is more pronounced.)  The...

I ride a '13 1200GSA - last of the air cooleds. BMW changed a bit too much with the LCs for me to be 100% comfortable with it.... Like Obi Wan mentioned - the stanchion issue is the major problem for me. None of the previous bikes had this issue. I read a post on ADV Rider where Jim von Baden...

No Problem! I have found that having the standard seat on the high position in front and low at the back makes a nice difference!

Hi Hennie, Heres a couple of images from my ad on OLX:

I have a genuine BMW lowered seat that will fit 2010 - 2012 GS / GSA's. (Not sure if it will fit the pre camhead bikes though.....) Good condition. R 2000 Nelspruit / White River Area....

I am one of them.... I had a choice between a 2013 GSA (Last of the air cooleds) and a new LC GS....  I went for the '13 GSA. Less electronics, more proven in my view, and I dont like the switchgear on the new ones... If I could find a spotlesss 1150 over here I would be riding that instead...

I have taken the Longtom pass to Lydenburg a couple of times in the past month or two and I have noticed a number of weird small bumps in the road. Quite noticeable on a GS Adv so with a S1000 and its harder suspension it could possibly result in a dangerous situation.

Hi Draadwerk, Enige nuus oor jou bike?

I have a set of Anakee 3's on my GS adventure. Looking for something different so I am considering the TKC 70s.  My usage scenario : Mainly tar, with some dirt roads occasionally (friend lives on a farm). I like the solid center patch on the rear TKC 70 which should increase the life of the...

Hi Guys, What is the going rate for insurance on a 2013 1200GS ADV nowadays? I am waiting for my insurance people to get back to me and I would like to have a ballpark figure when they do....

I am looking for an extra GS adventure seat - my bike is a 2012 1200GS Adventure....

I made a plug from Delrin (Acetal) this weekend. 2012 1200GS Small Dia = 15.05mm Large Dia = 18mm Total height of the plug is about 27mm. Snug Fit - not a drop leaked. (I kept the O ring in place when plugging the hole.)

Did mine yesterday.... 20K Km Pretty much identical to what Jughead described. My bikes splines looked good - also no sign of oil leaks. I used Indy MS2 that I got from autozone: Product description: INDY Grease MS2 is a high quality lithium grease, fortified with Molybdenum Disulphide. It...

Thanks! I will try Off Road Cycles first - they will be closest. I don't really have anything specific in mind - just want to look around and buy something nice for my bike, but I do need a new helmet and gloves.

Hi Everyone, What is a nice BMW accessory shop in Pretoria? I want to do some window shopping for some accessories for my 1200GS.

I have a 2012 1200GS. Today I test rode a 2015 1200 GS ADV LC and here are some of my first impressions. 2015 GS ADV LC: What I like more: Throttle - A lot lighter and more responsive. (Road Mode) Clutch - Feels lighter as well. Clutch engagement on the LC feels more gradual and easier to...

Sent a PM....

Hi Everyone, Where can we get our BMW bikes serviced in the Mpumalanga Area? 2012 1200GS / 2011 800GS and a Dakar 650. Some notes: * Preferably someone private or a small company that knows BMW's and has experience working on them. If it is a BMW enthusiast, even better. * Also someone who...

I am in White River.... PM me the details. I might be heading that way this weekend.
