Or save a few grand and buy a Wunderlich bar conversion on your RS ,same riding position.These:
OZ Piega Forged Aluminium Wheels for BMW R1300GS & Adventure 2023> onwards
OZ Piega Forged Aluminium Wheels for BMW R1300GS & Adventure 2023> onwardswww.bikehps.com
As to ‘ just buy an RS, xyz, something else’. Missing the point completely, the riding position on the GS is perfect for back road hustling with the wide bars, add in the now very grunty engine with punch out of corners…

Except it is not. It also lacks telelever.
Never going to be the same bike in a million years.
The suspension on mine is great,hardly any dive on the brakes,probably only 500,000 years away.
For all the extra cash it saves i can live with it.
1200

@Reggie353 I've done the conversion as well, but can't find a smaller front fender. Any tips on where you got yours
2010 was my first GS and people thought I was bonkers fitting 17” wheels (carbon) and a quickshifter to a gs, several years later quickshifter is a must have and 17” wheels is the icing on the cake.
These guys list one for sale. Maybe they would sell it separately?

Ding Dong. I remember that bike. Was way ahead of its time with the carbon wheels. Where is it now?

I put it back to stock and sold it to a memeber off this very forum 13 yrs ago, the wheels went on a hp2s.
If I can get a few quid together I’m going to do Rotobox carbon wheels on a 1300 Adventure early next year.

There lovely wheels, I actually prefer the unique design over the bst, they remind me of the bmx wheels I had as a kid.
A bit Skyway-esq.

They would look cool on my 1250

Unfortunately I suspect not, elsewhere on the site they're pretty explict about it - (Hinweis: Der Fender ist nur in Verbindung mit einem Radsatz erhältlich.)These guys list one for sale. Maybe they would sell it separately?

(Note: The fender is only available in conjunction with a wheelset)
It looks very much like a 2019-on S1K mudguard, with a CNC clamp around the fork leg to locate the upper mounting point. Should be easy to replicate if you're reasonably handy.
Did you have any luck with getting a mudguard sorted? I’ve just fitted an RT wheel and its transformed the bike, for me - I came from a Multistrada Pikes Peak, so was always used to the 17. I just need to sort the front mudguard now, if only BMW did it from factory!
These guys are doing conversion. Send them a message to see what they are using
They are also fitting R1300RT front mudguards. I wonder do the bolts line up? Maybe check at your local dealer.

What about Ilmberger carbon for a front mudguard.
