Uh oh- I wish I hadn't done that

I have always loved the look of the bike GS Adventure bikes but always thought that I'd be too wee to actually own one. I have had a short ride on a normal GS and although its tall it was ok (but to be honest I think the standard GS is damn ugly!) While up at the dealer picking up my pannier chattin...

I found this on my last bike (street triple) and was an easy fix swapping the throttle tube from another bike in the range (speed triple 1050). This new from the triumph dealer was £9 and was swapped in 5 minutes. Anybody know if another BMW doesn't use the ecentric throttle say the GS or R and it c...

I would love the different colour wheels (I am a mega fan of white rims!!) but it would mean powdercoating one of the wheels (so they matched) prior to sale time unless I sold the R12S in the custom colours.... Like this?? http://i920.photobucket.com/albums/ad47/BlackStreetTriple/CC0CC5E8-3AF7-478E-...

Anybody know if you get the waterproof inner bag with the case or do you need to buy it separate??

The dealer couldn't tell me if it came with the pannier but it is available separately for £33!!

I just spoke to Motorworks they want £280 for 2nd hand standard headers :shock:

Then I would probably decat myself but would need to pay the exhaust fabricator to weld them back up........

Just to check OE headers are stainless yes?? (I know the exhaust fabricator will ask!!!)
