Roamed do the Chinese ones clear vario panniers ( assuming you have vario panniers)
they do clear vario panniers
Crazy that they have virtually no give in them.
Very telling that my dealer had 6 in stock....they must sell a few to keep this level of stock.
Great design for making BMW money !!
It always hurts when you break something, but BMW are no worse than others, try breaking something on a Italian bike and you will see how much it hurts also..... oops not Italian anymore German also.......
I know very annoying when you do something just plan careless
Bought a new Range Rover last year and getting something off the rafters of the garage dropped a heavy metal pole on to the bonnet...now that was expensive
We will buy these expensive toys.
When did they stop being flexible?
What would be best if someone just made a stiff but flexible rubber collar that went between the indicator stalk and the bike with just enough give in it.
Unless you ride inside one of these and do not worry I can always blame Sea Dog for making me spend cash...........
I definitely didn't suggest you buy one of those bloomin' things!
Incidentally, what boots do you have? I have the Rev'it Discovery Outdry, which are really very nice. Look up "Mototrek" on Youtube - he does a really practical review. Mine were 289 at sportsbikeshop.co.uk last year. Order the next size up (or both sizes - they do free returns). They're 330 now, so I'll have cost you quite a bit which will obviously cheer me up, but you won't regret your choice!
Define ‘just enough’
Lost me on the boots..........
Go on, you know you need some...
Have ordered some for the rear of the bike from eblag. I had a rear one fail/snap the day before a two week tour. Luckily my dealer and them in stock.Just wondering what breaks now when the indicator guard gets a decent knock? Does the guard break, does the screw snap and leave the broken part of the screw still in the threaded bush, do the threads pull out, or does the bike’s trim break?
Sometimes it’s better to have a sacrificial component that will fail and save something more costly!
However fully agree that the stock item should have more flexibly, or a pop-out mounting socket.
