Most pointless accessory?

A more 'pedestrian friendly' beak extender than the original GSA one - with actual teeth!

I think I can resist the temptation.
 
Spotted this earlier and my first thought was WHAT THE F##K is that all about:confused::confused::eek::eek:
 
True, but then I've never seen the point of the Extra plastic bit the Adventure 1150 has either :confused:
 
makes an ugly bike even uglier.


quite an achievement. he should apply for a job at Givi.
 
Jesus H...
You just wouldn't would you? It looks exactly like what it is - a piece of vinyl, hacked out and clumsily press-studded to the beak.
Serves no useful purpose, looks feck ugly and costs you £20 (plus you have to drill your beak so you're stuffed if you change your mind...)
 
Whoever thought that adapting car bonnert bra's to bikes obviously realised there are/are likely to be people in this world with no taste.

"They will not fit the R1150GS models, sold out" - Please tell us who these muppets are so we can perfusely percuss their skulls then rescue their poor motorcycle from the proliferation of tat!
 
I was out for a ride yesterday and the sun was in my eyes most of the time, you see I live in Hobart Tasmania and at this time of the year the sun is very low in the sky.

My helmet has a flip down dark lens but the sun was still very annoying, got the shits so turned around and went home.

Any way I was thinking, if I screw one of those thinggies to the front of my helmet that would help with the sun.

It also could be used when riding out bush to scoop water from the creek for drinking.

Then after lunch and a coffee I always get the urge for a shit, it could also be used to dig a hole to bury the turd, by then I would have to make sure that I burry the the correct turd and if I can't tell them apart, a clue is the smelly one.
 
You can add the "tool tube" to the list of the most pointless accessory.

As the product of a catholic upbringing, i was taught to wear a talisman about my body to ward off all kinds of evils stuff and things.
The user of a tube for tools :augie is thinking on the same lines ~ adorn the Bike with it and it wont be needed.
This is however no guarantee.
I am now a lapsed catholic.

Yup.
I bought one when it was the the 'must have' accessory. I fitted it to someone else's bike when I realised that it was impossible to mount anywhere reasonably on my 1100 and even if fitted was feck all use for actually carrying real world stuff.
 
I giggle at most GS accessories. I passed two loaded up GS's on the M25 recently and I was agog at the amount of bling and luggage carried. I have a manky Honda topbox bodged onto mine and a sticky pad that stops me phone falling off when I am standing near the bike.
 
Nippy Normans supply Touratech, Wunderlich, Desert Fox and many other makes of accessories.
