The RT mudguard shares the same mounting setup as the GS (one bolt on each lower fork leg, double bolts to the bottom yoke). From one of their Instagram videos, you can see they've used a couple of drop plates to make up the gap between GS yoke and the RT guard (around 44sec)

The other mudguard is also S1K, same as Hartl. However, LRT have no visible upper clamp on the forks and I can't work out how they're mounting it - unless they're welding a tab onto the fork slider and then refinishing maybe?

I called into Mansell Motorrad recently and saw a very interesting bike. BMW have been very impressed with what Gregg Mansell has achieved with his 1300GS hillclimb bike such as 17 inch wheels and numerous other tuning and handling mods. A!so the guy can certainly ride.

BMW have now built a special factory bike for Gregg for him to race and develope over the next two years. He's confident that he can lower the outright hill climb record next month. The bike is improved in every area. Much more powerful engine, closer and stronger gearbox, improved suspension and brakes and improved ground clearance. Significantly lighter with extensive carbon fibre everywhere.

Looks great. I'll check if I'm allowed to post up pics.

Would love to see some close ups of the bike.
