Re: Seat Options?
Yes, Eric - loads of fotos of the lower GS pegs and the requisite feckling that was needed to make them fit. PM me with your e-mail as they're hi-res fotos. At 5'10" - I'm the archetypal standard male height and build - or so the department store outfitters tell me - the only prob I have with ...

Re: I am so excited to be back!
Just a quick note to say hello. About 10 years back I had an 2004 R1150R silver but sold it for financial reasons. Then last year, when i could no longer resist the urge, I bought a 650GS and while i had lots of fun on it remembering my love for riding, my heart belongs on a 1150 so I bought a 2004...

Re: Replacement handgrips from China?
Strangely enough I’ve recently done the ‘grip’ job too. The owner before me had some strange ugly frayed grips on it so they had to go. Luckily he did all the donkey work in removing the original bonded ones but I’m not sure I was that lucky to repair his ‘repair’. I replaced with bmw matching grips...

Re: Seat Options?
I wouldn't really recommend the option I chose in order to give me more legroom - and less knee cramps - on my Rockster. I decided to fit a used set of GS pegs, both sides. Many many mods were needed; too many to go into detail here, but certainly gives me a much much more comfy seated knee-angle a...

Re: Rockster Windshield?
If it’s any use and I know it’s a little late to post, I use a Givi 610 universal recomended by sykospain and it does the job well enough. I rode my modern bonneville with no screen a few days ago and it was freezing in the wind, put it back in the garage and took out the Rockster as it’s a far warm...
