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...

Ram ball X-grip - £15 inc P&P

As above. Used about six times, but has now been replaced by a Ram ball phone case bought for me as a Birthday present.  Size-wise it held my old iPhone SE and currently my 7plus securely, and would guess it would hold most smart phone sizes. It’s about 4 yrs old and did not come with the r...

Re: Can You Name Your Tyres ?.

I know what make my car and bike tyres are, ‘cos I spend ages reading reviews and cross checking before making my choices... OCD or what! For me the bike tyres are chosen for being the best for the job pretty much regardless of cost, but the car tyres just have to be OK as the car’s just a way to ge...

Mirror retention cables

Horning make a cable to harness the mirror to the bike if it comes away from its mount by collision or shock, such as a pothole.


According to the description it covers ‘05-‘13, are they necessary for the LC models as well?

Re: Weather Protection - Infill Panels

Perhaps because Puig are made in Barcelona, whereas Pyramid Products were (I believe) originated in Lincolnshire.


I’ve has Pyramid stuff before and the quality was pretty good, but I haven’t had the infills mentioned.
