I started to fiddle with my Yellow 1150GS, bought two years ago, soon after buying it.
To date I:
1.   Fitted an 1150 GSA screen
2.   Fitted crashbars
3.   Fitted knobblies
4.   Widened the foot pegs
5.   Raised the handlebars

On the longer trips (through Baviaans, Kalahari and Namibia) fuel range was something that needed to be managed well and I started to wonder about the possibilities of an Adventure 33l tank.

A few weeks ago I managed to source an Adventure tank, but now had to decide how the spray it to fit with the rest of my 1150GS colour scheme. I saw what Jacko and some other WDs did in this regard to give me ideas.

I decided to mix and match themes from the two original 1150s, as well as borrow from the 1200GS.

Jusso, this actually looks quite nice. Would love to see more pics.

I'm glad you did that silver bit at the bottom of the beak - can't see if it is permanent, but that gives a 'line' for the silver to start at the beak already and leads you into the colour on the tank.

It looks blerrie lekker!

Now all you need is that 1st gear from a GSA and you are set!

Again - well done - it is awesome taking a bike and really making it yours.

hhmmmmmmm, ......... mine, mine, mine (sounding like seagulls)

Sorry Jacko, not what you were after ....

Used to call it 'Geel Kameel', but there is another guy on the BMW forum already using that name ... so I think I will now call my pig, "Pumba" the (Great Sandy)wharthog

TopBox calls it a 'German KLR'

Jou vark lyk lekker, doen iets aan die seat, 2-tone en nie so rond nie, gee bietjie skerp lyne.
