Guys, BMW have changed the radiator intake for their 2014 model GS. This affects the radiator guards I make :blast

I wasn`t aware of this but a couple of the lads have emailed me about it over the last 48 hours (thank yoooooooooo)

What they have done is to, seemingly, introduce a clip in the bottom corner which stops my radiator protector from sitting flat as god intended. I`m already on with a fix and if any of us have this problem simply send the 2013model ones back to me and I will send you the new design - even if you got them from NN send them back to me as it will be quicker. Or even if you bought them second hand/got them off a mate/nicked them - doesn`t matter, no one will be disadvantaged whilst I have my sticks to hobble about on :D

As I said, its caught me unawares, I was aware of the steering damper and other mods but this one seemingly slipped under the radar :blast

I`ve included some images being:

1. A photo showing the added `clip` to the 2014 bike (thanks to Tim for this)
2. A photo of the current 2013 rad guards (a thing of rare beauty) :D
3. And for those who don`t know me some reassurance by way of a kind recommendation of my intentions to do the right thing.

Has anyone noticed any other not so publicised mods???

I believe it can be trimmed off and I don't know what purpose it serves.
