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?

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.

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...
