On the R1200GS Adventure there is a little clear plastic 'window' air deflector behind the windscreen... accompanied by another two black plastic air deflectors each side.

It's a real pain in the ass to clean, as it's usually hidden away and covered in crap... but you can still see it through the windscreen, :blast

Anyways, on the new R1250 they changed it to a single piece unit, all black, no crappy clear plastic nonsense.... and it retro-fits to the R1200

If you've got a Touratech headlight guard (like mine in the picture) you may have to cut a small 1cm gap into the plastic cockpit cover, to allow the fixing arm enough wiggle room and space to fit. I just filed away a small section which isn't noticeable at all.

Yes but how? Did you do it properly?

Most people will sand down the plastic and spray the facing side. But actually on clear plastic, it's best to sand down the underbelly side and spray that.

Then the facing side will appear glossy, and will protect the painted surface at the back. The sanding scratches will be filled with paint and you wont even see any scratches at all.

I used to do this method when spraying clear plastic model car shells...

:D

To right it was done properly. No need to sand the surface, as a green scotch pad will provide the require key for specialist plastic paint to adhere. With the correct amount of coats applied to both top and under surface, it is well protected against chipping.

I like that camera mount you have Warlord, does it still allow the full adjustment of the standard screen as I often have mine in the lowered position?
