Looks good in red.

Thanks all.  I'll get BMW to investigate and I'll report back.

Thanks David.  It's booked in to BMW next week for a service, so I'll get them to take a look.

I wonder why there's no price listed for the cable section on real OEM?

I suppose it will keep some dirt off the link pipe (and make it harder to clean).

But wow - it is REALLY ugly... Looks better suited to a GS in my humble opinion.

My headlight adjusting knob just seems to spin one way or the other, with no obvious change to the beam.

Any ideas what might be broken?  Is it connected by a cable?

Thanks in advance.

If you're anywhere near Gatwick Richard, just drop it in!

I couldn't leave the house anyway, as I was babysitting our little ones.

I will - thanks.


I was considering bars, but I think they're a bit 'heavy' looking.

Thanks David. That explains it.


Great site you've lined me to there - thanks.

Thanks David. Do you mind me asking how much they cost?

£210 on extra mirrors  :eek:


Still, if it works better for you, that's the only thing that matter.

The black rubber bung near the rear brake disc.


I managed to pull it out in its entirety the other day. What does it do?

David, that is SERIOUSLY impressive.


Which engine guards do you have on there?

And the OCD cleaning continues...! I took the pads out and cleaned up the rear wheel and calliper. I was impressed how easily the rear wheel came out. This is becoming slightly obsessive! http://i921.photobucket.com/albums/ad54/sullivj/1D277BFC-DC11-42D8-99C8-D76606A6D06B_zpswvzdajwe.jpg Re: OCD cle...
