    1200GS warped brake discs - easy fix

    I thought i'd share this with you guys. When I bought my 2004 1200GS three years ago, it had a pretty acute brake disc judder which was very noticeable under hard braking or when riding two-up. Since I didn't have much cash left after the purchase, I lived with this problem for time being. It...

    BMW spares - excellent after sales support!

    Hi guys, it's worth a mention that Brad in Edenvale who sells used BMW spares is a man of his word! I bought a rear shock from Brad in September as my original shock had blown the seal. As I left Brad said, "if you have any problems, bring it back". I fitted the shock but unfortunately, less...

    heated grip replacement - OEM or MX type?

    Has anyone put non-OEM MX-type grips on their heated-grip GS? My (heated) grips are worn and I never liked the OEM grips as the rubber is too hard, so I thought I'd use the opportunity to put MX grips. Question - Can I put normal MX grips on, or must it be BMW heated-grip specific with a...

I really liked the look of the helmet - more MX than touring, in other words, i think it looked bad-ass...
