BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

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/UK/detail.cshtml?on=525229 I would take some screensh...

Then they say "I was just trying to help"

If my wife asks if I want help I say yes! Keep out the way

She knows to leave me to it unless I ask

Get well soon Glen.

What happened to the first two?

It may not be the cruise switch

It maybe your clutch switch so have a look at that too

Not good @Glenn hope you're OK and you don't have too much messing about with insurance!

Hi and welcome to the forum

Ah you're talking about a mount

I am talking about an adaptor that allows you to mount most sat navs to the nav prep and take its power from there

You can get various brackets for different devices to fit whatever you like.I'm buggered if I can remember the name of the set up but I'm convinced it's German.

Are you talking about the italian 3DAM adaptor?

You should be able to remove the mount and fit a different sat nav there
