Anyone recognize this 1150GS? From SA to UK to Ireland

[Grizz]

I sold this bike to a guy in Ireland quite a few years ago.

I was wondering if it is still with the same owner, or if someone else has it now.

If you know much, please drop me a PM.

Hi Bill,


NEVER EVER TELL JUDGE ANYTHING YOU WANT HIM TO FORGET !!!!


Trough, Tray, Potato, Potato, Tomato, Camel toe..... etc.

Home made, pipes bent in Stainless steel for the framework, then welded and hand finished.

You are right, both a security measure and a way to protect the tent, should you drop the bike.

Welded up ally tray that fitted in a slot under the topbox, and made the topbox into a slightly more comfy backrest.

Worked really well as a carrier too and great attachment points for many things.

It was a huge improvement on this first attempt at a rear/top box which shattered itself on the first offroad trip.
