GS 1200 LC Engine & Upper Bars Help Please

[jc247]

Hi guys,

Have a 2016 GS LC that I bought last summer, currently has BMW head guards fitted, however I would like to fit engine & upper bars, possibly with auxiliary lights too.

Can anyone recommend from experience a good set up for both bars and lights? BM have said £500 to supply and fit their lights which seems really expensive.

Any help or advice greatly appreciated.

Have Wnderlich bars on the RT which are very good, as for lights look under a thread under the "RT Tourers" section as someone has got some off of fleabay with good results.

Lights.

Durite led's are good gear. Quality gear without the BMW/ Denali/ Clearwater price tag. These are about £45 each in black, or £25 each in white.
Wired in to the back of the aux socket via a switch. The can-bus switches the circuit off after a few minutes if you forget. I've got them on a Rugged Roads light at but they would be easy enough to fit to the crash bars.
You can get them with a clear spotlight type lens or foglight/worklight type lenses . Mine are the worklight ones with a bit of black tape in the middle to take the brightness down slightly.
There's a thread in the hexhead section with eBay links to the various lights .

Just bought my first GS and fitted SW Motech upper and lower bars. Took about 3 hours steady and £200 for top/£200 for bottom.

Fitted some really cheap spots for now clamped to upper bar but will buy better once i find some.

I have Touratech upper and lower bars bought from Nippys give excellent protection for the bike.Dave

Agree Touratech bars if you are going for upper and lower. Not cheap but quality.
A friend of mine is upgrading his bike to a 1250 so may be selling his Touratech uppers and lowers. Let me know if you want details. I know they cost over £500 !

Hi and welcome, Heed engine bars are well made, full set about. £290, and I have tested then. Led spots from EBay there are plenty, wired via relay and separate switch won’t give a problem with canbus. Good hunting.

Guys,

Thank you so much for taking the time to respond, all really useful information. Will post a pic and info when I do the work, looks like I can probably get bars and lights for the £500 BMW want just for lights !!

Thanks again

These are the full Touratech bars before removal this week.
If interested I will get you a price. They were over £500 but I am sure they will be less than half that!

Hi Neil,

Yes please if you can get me a price on them, also where they are located.

Best,

John

Ok, I’ll give him a bell tomorrow. I know he had the lower bars last year and the uppers only a couple of months ago. Bike now sold. I would guess about £250 mark but will get a price...

£250 for the Touratech upper and lowers plus postage, or collection fine.
Drop me a PM and I’ll pass you the details.
