handguard dimensions

[mark2jag]

Basically the ideal people to help me with this would be anyone who has the exact dimensions of 1200gs or gs adventure handguards/wind deflectors, and someone who also has the dimensions for f800 gs handguards/wind deflectors. i'm trying to find the bigger of the 2 and then fit them to my 800, as although they are ok, they are not really as good as they could be if they were bigger. I know they are primarily designed to stop you leaving all your skin on the nearest branch/tree/skip/hedgerow, but if they help you keep yer hands warm as well then thats a bonus. If no-one can help then I guess I'll just have to go to a showroom, and do some side by side comparisoning type stuff, with a tape measure etc.. Would also help me if you would PM me with any useful findings, photos, info, anything like that in fact.

I seem to miss a lot of the new posts so PM'ing me direct would be absolooootely fan bleedin tastic.

P.S. Some clarification required here, me thinks. When I say "HANDGUARDS" I actually mean the proper BMW approved type things to include the dimensions of any extra BMW "deflectors" as generally available, or not, over the counter.
THANKS FOR READING THIS TOO

The 2008 handguards are different from the 2004-2007 models for the 1200GS.

I have a 2008, and can take some pics and dimensions if you want....the 1200gs 2008 also have an option of a slightly higher handguard addition.

Best bet would be to go and talk to your local bmw bike shop and speak nicley to the parts person IMHO.

ps; if you are in surrey... slm (south London Motoradd now)... Caterham, will be okay with you taking measurements, and Kate in the parts dept is lovely.

they will do their best to point you in the right direction of what will fit.
