New GSA LC Screen
« on: June 04, 2014, 05:29:35 pm »
Collected the New GSA Yesterday, went straight to Pauli, and fitted the Radiator Guards, Bigger footprint on the stand, and as I am 2m tall, I fitted the Handlebar Risers.  :thumleft:

Now the only problem I had today on my first real long ride was that bloody small screen, no matter where I positioned it, the wind hits me on the visor.  :(

Has anyone changed their screens yet, and which one did you go for?

I see on the web that PUIG does a nice Adventure Screen, any comments?

Large screens, top boxes, panniers and tank bags self destruct and/or get in the way when riding in bumpy terrain.

They are stocked by Trikbitz, but you have to order from a dealer, so I had to order through BMW, getting it today.  :thumleft:

Thanks, may I ask how much you paid?
Also when you say dealer, is that a BMW dealer or an aftermarket dealer?

Received the screen today and did the quick fitment, looks very nice, will know after my ride tomorrow if it makes a difference.

Ordered from Bavarian in Centurion for R 1900.  :thumleft:

Took some before and after pics in the high and low position.  :thumleft:

Die manne by BMW se nie oor die 5000 revs tot 1000kilos nie.

Dink jy 500 kilos is genoeg?

Steek hom, nie in limiter in nie, maar naby genoeg.

So paar keer as jy wegtrek, net nie daar hou in die rooi vir 40km ver nie.

Maar klits hom tjom, my GSA gery dat die rook uit motor uittrek. Toe word ek vertel dis die verf wat brand op engine  :imaposer:

Ek ry al my bikes BAIE mooi, tot so 300km, dan begin ek roer, hier van 700km af se die limiter brraappp brrraappp braaaappp soos hy hop  :thumleft:

1000km van ry soos n toppie van 95 jaar oud, is ook kak vd engine. Vra maar die manne wat motors bou en ken  :thumleft:

Blixem your price of R1900 is what one would expect to pay, unless you are living in Cape Town where these screens are almost a R1000 more expensive! I am all for guys doing business and making profit, but jeez and no this was NOT a BMW dealer with expensive premises and muffins and coffee!!
So I declined the offer and will order through your dealer. Would you mind PM me the person you dealt with.
