    BMW GS1200 AC vs GSA1250 (With some focus on Fork tunnel noise)

    I took delivery of my GSA1250 today and love it, but there was a couple of things where I found the old GS1200 AC better and I want to share this with you before I get so used to the new 1250 that it just becomes the norm again. Number one……the first thing that I noticed almost immediately was...

    I'm playing with the idea to designing custom bash plates out of Stainless Steel and started to look around as to what is available on the market, with the majority (if not all) being Aluminium. I assume the main reason for this is the weight? Considering a 500x500x3mm thick piece of 304...
