sorry for not getting back to you...
i will not be producing the spotlight brackets for the F800GS as designed as i have serious reservations about the integrity of the front subframe on the 800/650... unlike the other GS models i supply light bars for the 800 has a fairly flimsy plastic subframe for the beak,clocks, and headlight my metal brackets are pretty damned strong and i dont fancy the hassle/repercussions if someone drops their 800 and the spotlight brackets rip the front subframe off
the use of an injection moulded plastic subframe was done to save weight on the bike.... would a few ounces more for a metal frame really make that much difference
it will help sell more expensive BMW spare parts in the event of even a minor "off" though
my brother Bob has the only set .... he uses them at his own risk
cos he's family
