Hi Guys, A friend of mine broke the pannier bracket on his 1200GS over the weekend. Anyone know where I can look for a secondhand one? Thanks McS

Anyone that has a spare right pannier and or right side pannier bracket. We went for a ride yesterday and a friend dropped his GS, nothing serious... only pannier damage... anyone? McS

This might have been addressed before, but I'm lost... please help. My bike originally came out with 21W indicator bulbs front and rear, and with that a 2x21/23W flasher relay. I recently replaced the "shitty" rear indicators with new indicators that came with 10W bulbs. Now my flashing rate...

Hi guys, I listed this unit a couple of weeks ago for around R2500. They are now on special for R2179, although I paid R2750!!! Dammit! Anyway, I can get my hands on a nuvi 500, so I'm wanting to sell this one. Will settle for R1750! Anyone interested...

I bought a Nuvi 1410 two weeks ago for R2749. It's got a 5" screen  which is way too big for me. Was planning on using it on my Bike in a waterproof cover, but I cannot find a cover that I'm happy with and that will work with my bike. Anyone interested? Make me a good offer. McS

First of all, I would like to thank everyone that attended the trip. It was absolutely fantastic. To those that missed out, maybe next time... It all started on Friday morning 27 August 2010 at 6:30. 5 Caponords met up at a petrol station on the R50 (Delmas Road).  Got fuel, got coffee and...

I am pretty sure Lesotho has been discussed many times, but I would like some advise from fellow WDs on whether the weather will be an issue at the end of August.  :imaposer: I read that Lesotho can get cold in the evenings, even in summer??  :3some: Everyone that I have spoken to so far all...

I just thought I had to post something to say thanks to Madmike999 and his folks. A couple of weeks back I was part of the WD Fairy Glen bash. We stopped for a drink at "Egon's" (MadMike999's parents place)... a couple of km before Rayton.... little did I know that this would be a big save...

A friend of mine is stuck in Windhoek with a rear shock failure (apparently seal failure). Any of you know of someone in Windhoek that can rebuild a rear shock? Please let me know. Cheers McS

The Old: 2 x 55W = 110W The New: 2 x 2.5W = 5W The Why: I bought spotlights for my Caponord (from Ring Automotive). These spots have 55Watt H3 globes fitted as standard; making a total of 110W. These spotlights are actually floodlights and do not improve the overall lighting of the bike...

Rolf and I ordered LED replacement bulbs from a guy in Cape Town (he sells these bulbs for the 4x4 community - Cost R107 each). Installation was very easy, as they are only replacement bulbs. The results were fantastic. On normal driving we are saving about 9Watts, and while braking its around...
