Don't forget to look at the Migsel mount before making your choice. http://www.migsel.com/store/index.php?_a=viewProd&productId=6
I think it is more discrete and places it where you need it in the centre of your vision.

Hi Pedro,

I only have the aluminium top box. The bike came with the black plastic system case lids, and I bought the aluminium top box later. I would love to fit the aluminium side cases, but that is not cheap

Looking forward to the photo's

Have you decided on a GPS yet?

Cheers,

Pete

Hi Pedro,

I cannot comment on the agents you are looking at to do the service. If you were in Sydney I would recommend Motohansa.

Your bike does have the petrol filter inside the tank. I have had to replace mine once since I had it. Same model.

Pieter

Hi!!
Thanks Pieter!!
If live in Sidney I will go to this place!
About cost is normal 850 dolares I think is expensive !!
I never pay this money just for service!!!
I think gone ride more 3000 km because engine oil only have 2000 km and then go to service to cheaper place!!

I want buy manual book about this bike wish one is best and where I can buy!!

Regards pedro

Hi Pedro,

It is expensive.

I don't work on my bike a lot and are used to paying good money for a service. BUT, I know that the bike is well looked after and I have never had to go back for something they did not do correctly. I have been using them for 4 years, 3 bikes. I can take my bike with confidence anywhere in Australia!!!

Have a look at the Australian ADV forum and post a question about servicing a BM in Melbourne. I'm sure there will be some good recommendations.

Cheers,

Pieter
