Yesterday I was out with the 1150R Rockster. I drove only a few meters on gravel, but still a bloody stone or something jumped up and laid between the paralever an the rim, hung on for a few seconds and scratched the color DEEP before it jumped away again....

The rear rim of the Rockster is 5.5" wide, same as the 1100S Boxer Cup, and the 1150GS has a 5" rim I think, so it makes it a little more unlikely on a GS, but has anyone seen this before?

I think I can fix it quite stylish with black stripes, but it really looks sad:spitfire
 
Rockster is 5.5" (180 or 190 tyres), R1150R is 5" (170 tyre) & GS is 4.5" (150 tyre), I believe...
