Hi. Some advice/opinion please. I am considering getting a BMW R Nine T. I am just under 6'4" tall and am used to riding a R1200GSA...........I went and sat on the R Nine T this morning and I "felt" a little big for the bike. Knees felt a little high and I felt a little too upright, although my...

Hi. Does anyone here have the Touratech Adventuro Carbon Helmet? What are your thoughts on it? Looking at options for helmet replacement and quite like it as far as the looks go, but do you find it comfy? What about wind noise? Not onthe SA site yet but you can see it here  (...

Hi. Does anyone have a spare set of HP2 Enduro Handlebars that they wish to part with in exchange for moola? I am wanting to try them on my X-Challenge for a more comfortable ride instead of using risers. Thank you, Steen  :)

Hi. Has anyone here changed their handlebars on the X-Challenge in order to get a more comfortable riding position, both seated and standing, for the slightly taller guys (192cm). I would prefer nit going the handlebar riser route as I think I may have an issue with the cable lengths, especially...

Hi. Does anyone have a set of BMW HP2 Enduro Handlebars that they want to sell? I am looking to use them on my BMW X-Challenge as I believe this will be a better option than using risers. Alternatively, does anyone know of a Pro-Taper handlebar model that is very similar in geometry? Thanks, Steen

Hi :-) Need some advice please. I am looking at rucksacks/backpacks (x2) to buy but need some recommendations from folk that have been through this exercise. My good lady and I are prepping two X-Challenges for long'ish trips into the likes of Namibia, Botswana, etc. Due to the weak sub-frame...

Hi  :) I am wanting a seat pan for a BMW X-Challenge. I haven't gone through to ACME yet as I first want to check if anyone here has either just the seat pan or a buggered seat they want to get rid of cheap'ishly. I want it so I can send it overseas for proper foam and a re-cover  :) Cheers, Steen

Hi. Not sure if I'm placing this thread in the right place. i have just found out that a rider on an X-Challenge has been hit by a car at the intersection of Gerhard and Jean Ave in Centurion. This happened at about 13h00 today. One of the ladies that work with me was also hit by the car that...

Hi  :) Has anyone fitted this tank to their F800GS? https://www.advtank.com/collections/bmw-f650gs-f800gs/products/bmw-f800-gs-auxillary-tank Adds just short of 6 litres of fuel so should stretch the range of the F800GS to around 450km without adding too much weight. Would like to hear...

Hi  :) Looking for some advise on X-Challenge and figured this to be the best place to ask. I  am considering  buying one. I am 6'4" tall (196cm) and weigh in at 105kg........ok, I'm not exactly huge but will this bike still be suitable for me? I have an F800GS, and 1200GSA, but wish to have...

I collected my 2010 R1200GSA from Motorradtech this morning. Justin wasn't there so couldn't get the details but, holy crap, am I happy about the money I spent!!!!  ;D I already had a BMC airfilter installed and I had asked Justin to decat the exhaust, add an Akrapovic slip-on I bought on this...

Hi. I am interested in getting either the dual-tone Rally Seat or a dual-tone standard seat (from some 2012 bikes). I have a standard black seat (in excellent condition) to swop for the Dual-Tone standard version. If anybody willing to swop their Dual-Tone Rally Seat for a standard black seat I...

Some time ago I purchased a set of LED spot lights (10 Watt CREE) via a group buy on this forum. I have just had them installed on my F800GS whilst it was in for a service at BMW. BMW used a wiring harness provided by Motorradical. The spots have been connected directly to the battery so do not...

Hi. Is there anybody who has upgraded their R1200GSA to the Wilbers WESA Shocks? Would just like to have feedback. I've just done my F800GS front and back suspension and there is a dramatic change, but my standard R1200GSA ESA suspension doesn't seem at all bad and am wondering if there is a...

Hi  :) I have a 2010 BMW R1200GSA. I left my ignition on for a whole day (chop!) and obviously drained the battery completely. I went to Beamer and bought an Italian brand intelligent charger called Battery Controller Junior for less than R400 and plugged it in here at the office. I believe the...
