How have you mounted the panniers, just on ladder hooks or similar through the handle, or on a shelf?

Put your VIN into https://www.mdecoder.com/ and it will give you original build spec of the bike.

Which engine bars fit without the need to relocate the factory fit BMW auxiliary/fog lights?

This any use, he has a website where he sells them

I don't know how much it is, but Jones & Alcock in Stafford have this GSA just come in.

The bike has been written off, I need to wait for the 3rd party insurance to confirm liability and inspect the bike. I have asked how the claim will be settled, ie a cash settlement or a replacement bike + the value of the extras fitted.

I didn't take the hire bike that was 'offered' They did try to push the bike.

For those that are wondering the circumstances of my little dice with death. Below in red shows the approx track of the car, and blue my track on the bike. The camera screen shot is at the point of impact crossing the 2 lanes of the dual carriageway, with the roundabout top right. My speed before th...

I escaped lightly, bruising to my left leg and right upper are and ligament damage in the right shoulder. The bike is a potential write off, the left mirror was ripped out of the fairing, left side body panels damaged and scuffing to the rear gearbox housing. The crash bar has pushed in the front of...

I found a bike very close to mine with the same spec + radio & DLR lights. It's build date is 3 weeks earlier and has done 1100 miles more, I don't think I'll find a closer bike if mine is written off. https://approvedused.bmw-motorrad.co.uk ... ?on=525229

How much clearance is there inside the front of the valve cover to the shift cam mech? As a result of being knocked off the bike it looks like there is a part of the cover that has been pushed in by the light bracket on the crash bar.

My bike has been taken for assessment today arranged by the insurance handlers. I have gone through the video of the collision in slow time, when the car turned into me it was not on the roundabout, but on the northbound A5 dual carriageway by a few feet, approx 20 feet from the 2 lane roundabout ce...

I've spent the day looking for R1250RT's in case mine is written off. This has caught my eye, it's not even run in, Option 719 bike 2019 with 1566 miles.
