Nothing to stop us sharing info etc, not much of a helpful database on here, we must try better

I am having a nightmare trying to source out after market parts for my 2011 RT, once it is farkled up i will let everyone know what and where i got them ( and this bits i have had to send back because they dont fit )

Absolutely mate. There are quite a few experience RT owners here and their knowledge has already proven valuable

In terms of aftermarket parts, I can recommend the very well-made Touratech engine bars. You can just see them on the pic...

Luckily, I managed to get a secondhand set in great condition for half price from someone on the forum. Better than paying £300 to Touratech...

Nice bit of kit Malc, is that 2011 model, midnight blue.

Mine is the same but i have a new givi e55 to go on mine ( when the rack turns up ) and i have the same sat nav mount for my 660. i have ordered a little set of the BMW black plastic protectors, cant affored the TT bars at the mo.

Also ordered a NN headlight protector that doesnt fit due to the indicator fairing, Beowulf end can that doesnt fit.

I have some risers coming from the US of A and a crud catcher.

I'm awaiting a Givi rack for my new RT too - Allan Jefferies say they're on back order, which is a bit of a pain as I have a Givi Trekker to deliver to its new owner

I've fitted RAM ball to one of the handle bar bolts for the time being, but have also picked up a used Wunderlich GPS mount for £40. I'd have preferred the BMW mount, but I understand that the height of the TT Rider may have interfered with the screen.

I've also managed to buy a virtually new BMW tankbag for £100, which is a great bit of kit, a pair of Kathy's bag liners for £35 and it came with BMW head protectors. The only things left to buy are a a fender extender and soem Ventureshield film to protect the paint on the pannier lids and tank.

The Ventureshield will protect the underlying paintwork but scuff marks on the panniers will show up and apparently won't wipe off

Cheers mate. Yes, midnight blue - all except the topbox which I bought secondhand and it's an earlier blue. Close enough though

Givi topboxes are good bits of kit. I had an e46 on my GS and it served me very well indeed. It'll be interesting to see the other stuff when you've fitted it.

I actually really like that

Not sure about the urine sample you've got mounted to the bars though

I seem to have joined the RT club now .....but, like Bill says...what the fuck is going on with those master cylinder reservoirs

 

[Kritou]

They are for taking the piss ............. from A to B

You realise I will now never be able to think of that as anything other than a urine sample

Engine Bars look good. What's that thingy which looks like plastic extending rearwards from the Plug Cover ?.

Just remember to take the engine bars off yourself before you put the bike in for a service, local dealers charged me an hours work to remove and put back (which was not cheap)
