yes

The sport windshield is smaller, they come up on ebay occasionally

Has anyone else noticed that RealOEM now has 1/3 of the page taken up with a bloody Google search add-on?! >:( I can't get rid of it! [attachimg=1] Pete Pete, forget Realoem it's become increasingly irritating and ad ridden look at https://www.online-parts.co.uk/bmw-bike-spare-parts/ the prices are...

It's only an issue in the US I think as everywhere else we have the new System 7 helmet and new versions of the GS helmet etc

Does make you wonder why BMW don't get it as good out the factory! Or is it that they don't want to compromise reliability! Was speaking to a dealer today who suggests the glut of LC bikes is the result of riders returning to air cooled twins? Or is it the end of so many BMW finance deals? Your dea...

BMW recommendation is that all phone functions should route through the Navigator and not to pair the phone directly to the headset

I have a Nokia 5, also on Android like your Samsung. It all worked perfectly with the Nav V  and RT and also with my car too (BMW X3) However, recently the OS of the phone was upgraded to Android 9 (Pie) from Oreo. Android Pie appears to have broken the Bluetooth stack and my phone does exa...

Yes, I've had those thoughts many times over the years. Reasons why I haven't include purchase price, cost of refurbishment, lack of sufficient workshop space and lack of suitable tools (unless I stick with metric). These could all be worked around, but I keep remembering that all the old bikes I'v...

Check with your local dealer, BMW do a genuine cover part number 71607689674

Could have a look at the SWC300, https://www.visitsouthwestscotland.com/attractions/southwest-coastal-route/, not a far North or as many miles as the NC500. We did this at one point, to make it a bit different we went via Holyhead-Dublin and Belfast - Cairnryan just to save the motorway slog. Much ...

Snowdon is my back yard :D

I've honed my riding over 40 years riding in and around Snowdonia. It still makes me smile. Gods second favourite biking place (Scotland is number 1)

If you ever go to Islay make sure you book a ferry, don't just turn up. The ferries to and from Islay are busy taking trucks with grain over and whisky back so it can be difficult to squeeze on them

I have an original GS911, not sure I'd be happy using software that was 8 years out of date. They've added many features, tweaks and updates since.

I put a used alarm from an older F800GS that I bought from a guy who hated alarms on bikes, into my current F800GS, it works fine it just doesn't flash the indicators when arming or if activated. The flashing tell tale light doesn't work either. But as an alarm it works fine, motion sensor etc all w...

another thing to try is you can "send" locations from the smartphone app. Maybe easier than going through Basecamp?

It's all about saleability when you want to change. In the second-hand market, an RT without audio is about as desirable as a Jag with velour seats and a manual gear box. Somebody chose it - but WHY?? :alas: :alas: No it isn't, most R1200RT's we sell don't have audio. Most K1600GTs however do have ...
