How did you get on with cable and hose lengths ?.

This has blocked my view of the stock mirrors.

That’s interesting, any chance of a pic of the GS bars fitted ?.

This is strange, as my 1250RT looks fine from the rear end. As you can see from the photo i added, it all lines up. You can see the photo was taken square on. I would not of known about this if it was not for this thread. Unless it’s my eyes yours doesn’t line up perfectly either 🤔 although without...

So any new ideas here ?, I still haven’t tried anything yet !.

Ah ok! I had the engine off when trying to calibrate for the first time with a pretty flat battery.....its winter here and bike has been sitting for a long time in a basement. I bought an Optimate 4 charger, wish I had a long time ago, really nice piece of gear! thanks for all the help here...... g...

To be honest I’ve not ridden it much and not at all come the winter. I am noticing the front is squaring off a bit though much sooner than expected. Handling is still good.

That’s a bit of a relief chaps .

Just going through facebook and come across some guy who had to swap out his stator on a gs1200, I’ve heard of this before but what a nightmare job if it ever goes pear shaped !!, apparently a £2.5k job at a dealers.

Not wanting to hijack the thread but is there any proven maintenance on working flaps to prevent this happening ?.

Hi, Are the tools that you bought compatible with 2018 BMW RT? I am very interested in buying them too, but before I place the order I want to ensure they are the right ones for my motorbike. It would be a costly mistake otherwise. Many thanks in advance, Pano. There is a difference between the 120...
