BMW Light Fitting thingy for 1200GS

[Martin S]

Hi there.
Does anyone know how much the 'black plastic' accessory light bracket is please that fits alongside the front beak and will it fit with an extended beak? Saw one last year in Rainbow and I thought it looked really neat.

Thanks

Hi, I've just fitted some to my 2009 model with the LED lamps and the invoice breakdown says they're 36.00 each before discount. I was looking at these

but though I'd stick with the OEM ones.

Thanks for the reply. Do the BMW brackets fit with a beak extender do you know?

I was looking at the BMW LED lights but I was quoted nearly £400 + they seemed to want to fit them for £100 - bargain!

Think I shall go the Micro DE route but I still need some light bars.

Yes they fit OK with the beak extender - the bolts were just long enough. The lights are really good, and for me, the extra cost in just being able to plug them in was worth it - no wiring involved. A bit lazy but my choice......

The plug is under the tank - everything is prewired for you and the kit comes with a switch that replaces the top of the L/H indictaor housing.

BMW dealer told me that the LED fitting has to be done by them because a download is necessary to the bike. Sounds unlikely but what do I know?

Get them to download a stronger FD at the same time
