Apologies Foto John for hi jacking your thread but in case your ordering parts like a new exhaust, ordered some new bits from Nippy Normans yesterday and they arrived last Saturday

Thanks for the replies, everyone, I'm glad you all liked it, although I won't be adding any exhausts or the like, although I might go for a different screen and of course swapping my Jesse panniers over! 
Still, I'm more than happy with my decision, which I hope to sign on the dotted line for, on Saturday.
No worries about the thread hijack Uncle T, I shall certainly be using Nippy Normans, especially if he uses time travel for his postal service!

I finally did it!
Yesterday afternoon, after a short 2 hour test ride on a 1200GS Adv, I asked my dealer to order me a standard GS and signed the papers.
Boy is that GS Adv. big, larger than my 1150 GS Adv., although you can definitely tell the difference, weight wise!
I would have loved to have ordered the Adv., as the road presence is a lot more, plus the weather protection a lot better. However, as part of the agreement with SWTSMBO to purchase a new, lighter bike, I agreed not to go with the Adv. again. Hopefully, I won't regret my decision to go with the standard GS, though!
I should find out on Tuesday how long I must wait, before the bike will be in the dealers, I was told to expect around 2 months, though!
Now, I just can't wait!
My final options were:
Hand protection
Heated grips
White indicator lenses
Chrome exhaust
On-board computer
Anti-theft alarm
Cross-spoked wheels
Integral ABS (partial)
ASC
I've just got to decide which engine bars to fit now!

For me it was the SW Motech bars from Nippy Normans.
Excellent quality, all parts present and correct and easy to fit.
Although I have given them the ultimate test they look up to the job
and certainly more sturdy than the BMW ones.
Good luck with new bike. Looks a treat in black.
