Do you want it higher or lower? OEM Seat heights: GS seat height is 850-870mm in low and high setting respectively GSA seat height is similarly from 890-910mm The standard GS seat put on the GSA will lower the seat height by about 20mm. For the slightly vertically challenged (like me), this is...

I'll be in Joburg this week, then again have an option mid July

Draadwerk, did you come right with the bracket? I have one, unused, and could try get it to you from here in the UK. Cheers

I've had both and based on your questions, the GSA is likely the better choice for you, mainly because I wanted the same. I had the '13 GS LC and loved it. It was a superb bike to ride and of the pair, the sportier feeling one and could do everything I wanted. My only gripe was planning for...

In Scotland we say if you don't like the weather, hang around a bit, it will change....  :laughing4:

I'd love to and may yet, but work is likely to have on other parts of the globe at that time. Hope to bump into you and hubby some time - have a good mate up in Ellon, almost next door!

I know what I stated was not quite strictly true, the point I did want to make, though, and should have said was that it's best to remove all possible obstacles by having every conceivable piece of paper with you when going to register. There are a lot of stories about long delays and bribery...

As far as I know, you can, but it's not easy Every person must have something called a Traffic Register Number. The registration of the car is then transferred to this number. Getting this Traffic Register Number as a foreigner on a tourist permitt is hard. (It should not be). Most officials...

Hi and welcome to you both Where in Scotland are you? I'm in England right now, have my home near Glasgow. What's been the problems getting the bikes into SA? Cheers

Andrew I lived in Durban and was very happy with my Richa Adventure Airpants. The ventilation is where you need it, comes with a removable wind/waterproof liner. Can order from Wild at Heart in Cape Town https://www.wildatheartadventure.co.za/richaproducts.html

You're welcome I put one one my '13 LC and it was great, see my impressions on your other thread on this topic. I've not installed it on my new GSA yet, want to complete the run in service first. Probably not necessary, but waiting anyway. Cheers

I think they have merit on touring, where storage is at a premium and you want to stow little things. I haven't the side bags, but thought about it more than once. I do however have the under box bag (the Touratech one) and leave it permanently attached with a few tie downs and a puncture tool...

Nice write up  :3some: Other options for the sensor is on top of one of the intake snorkels (On my '13 LC I used the rhs) -  always ambient and fresh air there. Some guys use behind the light cluster somehow. The installation on the new GSA is a bit harder, as you need to get under/behind the...

I use the Optimate 4 Came with the optional hella plug, which means I plug into the aux socket and leave it. It's canbus friendly and cycles through a trickle charge, load and test cycle no problem at all in two years. If you choose to connect direct to the battery, it does a deeper cycle laod...

I mounted similar spots on my 800, worked a charm, so the lights should be great. As for mounting points: On my '13 GS I fitted the Touratech upper bars and mounted the OEM spots on that. This was much better (IMHO) than the plastic thingy under the beak... Like this: The GSA comes with...
