Hi airman, I can't beleive it there are some things that are cheaper in the UK than USA. :shock: UK price is £79.44 about $156 including tax. Dimensions are very useful to compare with stock bag. Allan Allan, It's German made. Perhaps the USA price reflects the difference in the dollar and the E...

As said - I've used a visor and glued it to the "eyebrow" (using 3M industrial strength glue pads), but you can't really duck down behind it. If you want proper weather protection you're looking at a 10" screen minimum imho. Here's mine: http://farm1.static.flickr.com/169/393185467_4...

IMHO no one comes close for skill and entertainment, it was rumoured that he had a test drive for Ferrari F1 team and was very impressive.

The wiring is there, tucked behind the cover to fit an accessorie socket, just get a socket from the dealer, remove the blanking plug from the starter cover and plug in. I guess that BMW were just penny pinching on UK models as they went to the trouble of fitting the wires and saved a few quid by no...

Notice how the back seat rises at the front edge - this keep me from sliding back during acceleration. As much as I would like to replace the rear seat, I need that shape, and the noted "flat" cover does not provide that Waddya think? I have one on my R and on a long fast run I find mysel...

I think it's a darker gray color, not really a silver. Doesn't Gypsy have that color bike? The darker color? The bike I posted was a Granite Grey 1150R, just the showroom lights changing the colour.
