The new 1200 adv has black Knee panels on tank are they same fittings as silver ones on 1200 ?
 
Just had mine powdercoated black this week. Cost about £5. The biggest shock was that to replace the little GS1200 stickers on the panels was over £17 !!!! I don't need them that badly.
 
Hey Manch........

Any Pictures of your panels?? I was thinking of doing the same and would like to see yours first.

Cheers
 
Well, I'll have a go............


No. Sorry. I've had a few goes and I keep being told the limit is 122kb but even with my camera at the lowest setting it seems to be 150kb.
However, if somebody could explain what I'm doing wrong I'll have another go.

Manch there is a faq on how to post pictures to the net. :bounce1
 
Now here is something I am also interested in - personally I am not over the moon about these panels on the new Adv... I think the black ones (with white tank) really make the bike look extra heavy along with all the black plastic already... and the OLIVE? on the silver while maybe a fashion statement just also seems strange to me - does not associate with any other
bit of the bike. I really think BMW could have done better with their ADV colours. Anyway I digress... I will be wanting to change the OLIVE on my new Adv and was thinking either 'polished' or BMW blue. Question: are the original covers anodised aluminium? I recall them listed as 'oxyplated' or some such?
Can they just simply be re-anodised? Painting is obviously the easiest, I guess.

Manch, you need to re-size them in somethig such as Photoshop.

If you like, email them to me at [email protected] and I'll re-size and post them up here for you.

My bike was delivered and ready to go, but I was so unhappy with the colours that I've let it go to whoever wants it in the queue. I'd ordered matt aluminium and didn't like either the olive panel or the matt aluminium. There's no point spending £12k on a bike and not like the colour!
