It's thin enough to not increase the size of the grip but tight enough to do the job, plus it's...

Re: SOS warning
I've recently bought an 18 plate 1200RT which has sat in my garage without turning a wheel for the past 6 weeks, then at last I got a hospital appointment that allowed me to lawfully go ride the bike ;D I'd done about 4 miles when I looked down and saw the orange triangle with an SOS on th...

I’m far less creative, I just bought the R&G ones!

Re: Air vests video
A valid point, and happily having an off is not something that’s happened to me since 1977, but it’s ‘All the gear, all the time’ for me. I agree that there is the possibility that the airbag may not fire before you hit the ground, but would after you and the bike separate. From experience...

Re: Mirror retention cables
Yep, I'd thought about some 25-30lb breaking strain plastic coated wire used on fishing traces plus a couple of the wire crimps used to secure the loops. It's flexible, light, and strong enough to do the job.

Re: Wunderlich vs Illium Protection Bars?
The worrying thing about the video is that, if you watch carefully, something appears to fly off the bike as it hits the ground!

Re: Weather Protection - Infill Panels
Pyramid Products don’t do one for the ‘14-19 R1200RTLC, so it’s Hornig or Puig with associated costs of about £108 instead of about £50!

Re: Mirror retention cables
It seems the mirrors may be but the covers aren’t, I knocked the n/s one off when I caught it with my elbow in the garage yesterday.

Re: First boxer needs accessories
Congratulations and welcome. I guess everyone has their own priorities, but for me the purchase of the RT was all about touring so mine were selected with that in mind. I managed to pick up most second hand on here so the pain to my wallet was muted. Essential items marked * *Headlight protector *Cy...

Re: Sat. Nav. - Expected Lifetime
In general mine have lasted at least 10 yrs, I’ve only had one car mounted Tomtom go wrong after about 6 yrs.
