    Extended screen

    Hi LMG, Congrats on the 1250, looks stunning! On the screen: I went with an aftermarket Puig tall screen. Slightly tinted, works well. You can even add the deflector on top. I remember that you are very tall, we've met a couple of years ago, long story.. Stabilizing arm: You will need it yes...

    Picked up a (I think) 990 headlight cover.

    Hi Roxtar, thanks...let's give it a couple of days and see if the owner owns up.  If not, i'll talk to you.  I couldn't turn the fat Bee Em around on that stretch of pristine Sandveld road, so i had to walk back 50 meters to pick it up.  Beer money would be nice, hahaha!  It's a HYDE cover by...

    Picked up a (I think) 990 headlight cover.

    I came through Banghoek/Kapteinskloof yesterday afternoon at 16h30 towards Velddrif. Orange cover was lying in the sandy corrugations in the road. Maybe one of the West Coast Dogs on a 990/950? Let me know. I live in Vredenburg. Have a lekker week :thumleft:

    New BMW1250 GS

    This is why I'm gonna hang on to my 2015 GSA for just a little bit longer, untill it's mine (and not the bank's bike anymore). Sell it out of hand. And buy myself a sweet, well looked after Honda AT! GS's have served me well since 2004. But now they are loosing the plot. And I for one, will not...

    2017 GSA Tyre Advice for a trip

    Hi BruceT, I've done the R355 a couple of times.  I have a 50% puncture rate on the stretch north of Tankwa Padstal.  On both occasions i was using road biased tyres on my 1200.  So the point i'm making is, be sure to have your tyre fix kit on hand.  Keep speed to what you can handle, to avoid...

    Top Box Advice

    I bought the Motorradical box couple of months ago. Liked the price. Good quality. Sits nice and tight on the bike (GSA LC). It feels a bit heavier than my old Trax box, but the Trax box had stupid adapter plates, ie, more weight. So the end result is the same in weight, i guess. No complaints...

    Mitas E 07

    Hi Grumpleton, J-Tech Motorcycles in Vredenburg is doing a lekker deal for me right now on a new Mitas e07. This will be my 1st Mitas ever. Didn't like the old tyre. Just waiting for him to do the balancing. His static balance machine needs a bit to balance the rear wheel on the gsa lc. Let me...

    Berserker Exhausts

    Hi MS, i fitted one two months ago.  I opted for the full black oval with diamond tip.  It looks good and sounds good.  Not too worried about extra HP, it is already way too fast, hahaha.  On my GSA lc the exhaust bracket had to be altered slightly to make sure that the pannier arm would fit...
