1200 tool kit....

[Gonz]

Yeah Jim, like a few tools along for the ride myself. I find the cabinet lashes on across the top of the panniers nicely.

I'm a wheelie god

Does anyone know what the feck the tuby looking spanner with the flat end does. I can think of an extension for a spanner, but what of the round end?

Gonz.

Ps. How can I insert my personal avitar?

Just checked my toolkit.. bugger.. got the slim line version!!

Took a nose round my local pushbike shop and spotted this little gem..

Quality looks A.Ok... and it's pretty compact too.

Priced at £5 I thought it too good to miss so I bought both of the ones on display. So I now have a spare torx thingy if anyone is interested in topping up their toolkit.

Chap in the shop said he's have more stock before Christmas, so PM me if you want to get your hands on possibly the cheapest 1200GS accessory of the year.

Anyone found decent replacements for the other missing bits????

pm sent as I've been looking for sometime for a compact solution to carrying torx bits...

I picked up my 12 today - its a june 2005 bike with 970 miles on it. It has the chocolate fireguard toolkit; there's less there than on the kit that came with the Honda race bike, and i cant work out what half the tools (i.e. one of them) do...

But i have a theory.

BMW knew that the 2004 bikes would be so unreliable that they packed them with an industrial toolkit (apparently the first models off the production line came with enough kit to strip & repair a gearbox and weld a subframe at the side of the road). The vastly superior late 2005 models have Honda levels of reliablity, so come with a Honda 'kit

(if only this were true - check out "replacement front engine cover thread )
