If wired through a switched +ve, it would only light green with the engine running and orange/red with ignition on but not running. Don't see why it would be hidden though.

Metal bracket hold sthe LED spotlights. Denali Auxiliary Light Mounting Kit for BMW R1200RT '05-'13, bought from Twisted throttle. Don't think ballasts have an LED on them and as I say they are mounted higher up.

Has anyone any idea what this is?
BMW topbox on Camhead on the closing face of the bottom half.

2012RT I tried to fit the Stebel Nautilus today but couldn't get anything on the original horn screw to undo it. I took the side fairings off but still couldn't get anything on it. I've given up for today,  but any suggestions? So far I've tried: 1/4" drive ratchet with torx bit Torx ...

I need to raise the brake pedal on a 2012 rt.
It doesn't look to be much adjustment.  There's a stop screw near front of the pedal and the rod to the cylinder.  Would that give me around half inch adjustment at pedal end?

Has anyone tried a Givi Tanklock bag on a 2012?
I already have the bag, thinking of getting a universal tankring and putting spacers undr it to bring it up to above the tank rails.
