BMW beak extenders

[Deleted account 211025001]

Hi all

I bought the beak extender a little while ago, came to try and fit it this weekend and no joy, it doesn't marry up at all. I wouldn't have ended up with a GSA beak that won't fit a GS or are they the same?

Cheers

Are you sure - I've fitted the GSA MBW extender to my vanilla GS.

I second OutToMunch.

Perfect Fit. You have got the standard 1200GS beak, not a Wunderlich Speed Beak or some such alternative ?

Thanks I was just about to join the ranks of the e bayers too, so saved myself a few quid, although I'd thought of a silver colour I think the Black is best as its liable to chip.
!! ordered today!

I have now checked the beak is part number 46617664390, as listed by others above, I didn't get the metal spacers, not sure what they look like.

But when I offer it up, it deosn't line up at all. The mudguard has two screws one either side, the new beak, two each side and two towards the front, am I being dull?

Help appreciated.

Cheers

That's the extension for the 1150 adventure .You need the one for the 1200 adventure no wonder it wont fit

 

[Pavs]

That explains a lot, although the part number is the same as quoted above, best get back to BMW Bristol and have a caht with them.

Someone suggested that they should be glued on with some form of contact cement, rather than screwed on. What do you think?

 

[ktmmark]

Why would you do that on the 1200 as you don't even need to drill any extra holes

screwed on nice and solid and when you sell the bike you can remove it and sell it on fleabay for what you paid for it

Forgive me as I am new here but what purpose does the extender actually have?

it covers up the graunches in the paint from catching the beak on walls etc.

Note that the part number for teh R1200GS is 46617694390, as listed by Les.

For the 1550 it is 46617664390, as listed by Pav.

Pav, looks like you or your dealer got one number wrong
