Re: RainX on windscreen?

Rain X do a product purely for plastic. Fine on my screen and sold by Halfords, mong others. Just make sure it is the product clearly marked "For Plastic".

Re: Wunderlich Elephant Tank Bag

I have one. Love it. When I change the bike I just change the base for about £30. Better quality than previous tank bags I have had. Only downside is when side pockets are full the horn will sound on full lock. Not a deal breaker for me. I have the small elephant bag as well.

Re: Action camera ie Drift Ghost

I have mine mounted on one of the Wunderlich mounts that Nippy Norman do. It is a GoPro mount but adapters are cheap. No vibration. Mounts on the screen bolts. I still use a safety lanyard.

Re: Garmin Express - New Map Update

I did the update and then my Nav V stopped charging. No idea if the update is responsible. Fortunately Benhams loaned me a replacement for an upcoming trip

Re: R1200RT LE Newbie

I changed from the K1600 GT to the WC RT last year. The only thing I miss is warp factor 1 for the odd overtake. Otherwise more comfortable, lighter, handles better, cheaper insurance and La Petite Pillion prefers it.  Weather protection is better. Never regretted the change.

Motorbike Shed/Garage

I am looking at secure motorbike sheds/garages. I have seen the Asgard which looks pretty good. Has anyone experience of storing a RT in one of these? Any recommendations?

Re: Planning to be nice to me

I was also K1600 to RT WC. Sometimes miss the top speed but otherwise love the new bike. Don't miss the weight!

Re: Lock for the SatNav

Excellent! The unlockable satnav mount on the 1200RT WC is complete garbage. I have lost one and damaged another satnav so far. BMW have treated my complaints with contempt so far by completely ignoring them. A pitiful reaction after the suspension fiasco last year.

Re: Go Pro camera

I have a Drift Ghost. ( very similar ). I use a suction cup on the fairing. Also use coiled Kevlar lanyard attached to suction cup mount for peace of mind. It has never shifted in use.

Re: Ideal tankbag R1200RT LC?

I use the Wunderlich elephant bag. When I change the bike I just get a new yoke. Excellent kit!
