Selling a Leatt Adventure back protector - R500

I'm looking for the standard vario topbox mounting plate for my F800GS. I'm hoping someone upgraded to a different topbox and have a plate available :)

Took these of a F800GS. Rear has a lot of life left, the front maybe 3000/4000km. R800 for both. Based in Randburg.

https://riders.drivemag.com/news/this-is-the-2021-bmw-r1250gs-gsa/ Comes with a "kock" sensor, I think this is invaluable for new owners to identify their journey to becoming knobs. :)

Is this signs of the tire perishing? Like the tire looks old. :( Am I being paranoid in wanting it changed? Date of manufacture is 30th week of 2017, so still new. Fitted them around mid 2018, done about 10 000km. It seems that Dunlop has a 5 year warranty, so I'm thinking of pursuing that...

I have some fine rust at the bottom of my fork - seems to be both sides. Bottom 6cm or so. Likely caused by stonechips. :( Anyone else have this happen? Any ideas of an approach I can take to lessen this, as the cost of re-chroming is a bit much for me at the moment. Worst that can happen?

So I bought a D3O back protector from the triumph clearance sale, and of course the thing is too big for the existing back protector pocket in my jacket. Any ideas on how to affix it to the jacket?

A lot of times people will mention that the planning a ride section is dying cause everyone is using whatsapp. As a relatively new rider, I'm not privy to those groups though. Is there any in the northern gauteng, but more specifically northern JHB that anyone can recommend and possibly add me to?

Went on the ADA dual purpose intermediate training over the weekend and I just have to say, what awesome training with brilliant instructors! The training and techniques they taught has already made me a better rider on road and I even tried a couple of footpaths next to the road that I've...

Was watching a video last night where they showed the guy doing a gymkhana on a motorcycle - where you have a course laid out with cones and the rider needs to do certain maneuvers against the clock. So I was thinking, that looks like fun, but maybe something with some off road type obstacles...

So it appears that the throttle side heated grip has stopped working. :( Has anyone tried this "operation" before? https://advrider.com/f/threads/heated-grip-repair-step-by-step.770662/ Did it work for you? Is there any place that I can contact that might have grips other than BMW? R3k seems a...

Advertising on behalf of a friend, selling his 2001 650 Dakar it has new tyres, 48k on the clock. Looking at R39k onco. Including the top box and GPS. Really good condition and in use almost daily. Contact Dom 081 321 8146

Selling the panniers for the F800GS, these are the adjustable OEM panniers, so if you have a F700/F800 you will already have the brackets on your bike. Still in very good condition, got them with my bike, but I'll never use them :) This is just the two side boxes, not the top box. Will upload...

I have a set of these, that I'm thinking about selling. However, they are keyed to match my bike, so I'm not sure how this will work. If I sell them, can they be rekeyed at a BMW dealership? Anyone have an idea what that will cost, so I can factor it into my price?

So this is kinda just a feeler for now, but looking to sell my Mitas E07 tyres. They were fitted brand new to my F800GS when I bought it about 3000km ago, so they have around 3000km of newbie tar commuting on them, still have the little hair thingies on the sides. I'm looking at changing them to...

So F800 suddenly started showing its ABS light permanently. Trying disconnecting battery, tried cleaning the sensors. No joy. Traction control still works normally. Any ideas? Anyone in Randburg area with a GS911 I could use to diagnose? At your house of course :)

So I'm very much a newbie to the motorcycling world. This afternoon on my way home, I took a bit of a detour to practice some emergency braking. So I apply the brakes, and suddenly my rear brake pedal feels like it is bouncing up and down. Is that normal is that the ABS kicking in? Does the ABS...

I posted this on MyBB as well, but seeing all the love the ADA training gets, I thought I'd share it here as well :) BMW Motorrad Novice course write-up So, I went to the novice course over the weekend. This was my experience as someone who, until this weekend, had never ridden a motorcycle...
