Aux Lights and rear red bullets fitted
Just finished fitting a pair of Aux LEDs and red bullets onto the bike from BikeViz. Chickened out of interfering with the CANBUS system so took a feed off the spare acessory socket by the headstock to a fusebox so both only come on when ignition on. If anybody doesnt see me now ...

Re: Headlight Protectors
First thing I bought from Nippy when i bought my bike - didn't fancy the cost of BMW new headlight unit. Now got a few chips from stones so can probably justify it has worked well.

Re: 2009 R1200 RTP Radio box
Just some advice on the ex police rtps. There is loads of wiring for the radios lights etc and worthwhile taping up any that are dead as very confusing. Have you found the second battery yet in the tank box? I replaced mine with a smaller capacity battery as it was well past its sell by and it provi...

Re: Motorcycle Live 2017 - freebies, gizzits and bargains
Several of the clothing stands are probably more often at markets and it really irritates to have the full on sales patter. May be doing them a dis-service but I don't like parting with money at the best of times!!

Re: Motorcycle Live 2017 - freebies, gizzits and bargains

Re: Fitting headlamp bulbs
I replaced the bulbs in my previous RT with OSRAM Rallye on the probably fallacious assumption that they would be more rugged. Never had to change one. Yep did my RTP left hand no problem. Right top fairing off as loads of ex police wiring in front of cover. Philips 130. Good light very b...

Police Bike Servicing Standards
I have a 2007 1200 RTP ex of Strathclyde Police. Does anyone know what the A, B, C Services / Inspections actually entailed for the police servicing? Do they correspond to BMW services?

Re: GPS Steering head mount touratech
Just a word of warning. I have just fitted the Touratech yoke mounting with their waterproof case for my TomTom 520. Went out today and couldn't see any detail on the screen due to glare on a sunny day. So will only not get lost on cloudy days and nights. If I angle it down too m...

Re: Oil leak in filter area
Had the same problem with a BMC 1500 diesel on a narrow boat. An oil coated engine bay not a pretty sight. My excuse was you had to fit it upside down hanging head down from the deck so couldn't see the little bugger o ring. Bikes far easier!!
