Hi All, here is the new `retro` pack from Nippy. What do you guys think? Mebbe cheaper to `retro` a current GS then to refurb an old GS :thumb

£3,379 I think.............

The following blurb is the stuff taken off the site

Get retro on your R1200GS - give a new look to your bike OR repair a crashed bike with these parts !
Absolutley the best quality conponents to completely revanp your bike. All parts needed are included except for the optional headlight surrounds for which there is a choice of 3 types. But we think the naked headlight look is the best !

The kit includes:

· White front mudguard.
· Orange seat.
· Black side covers.
· Black rear mudguard with light.
· Risers.
· Headlight.
· Headlight framework.

· Oil cooler lines.
· Black rear rack.
· Manufactured exclusively for Wunderlich

The conversion kit is supplied painted with everything needed for installation including an instructional video for the disassembly of the original parts and the subsequent installation of the kit.

Fast hassle free fitment.

A mixed bag then! The value of this forum is that everyone is able to express an opinion and its good to see that.

Personally, I do like it - I`ve always liked to `older` GS look and I guess using a lighter more up to date bike and quality products to get the same look must just be a good thing in my very humble opinion.

But I also respect the `purists` out there who think that the retro look shouldn`t be `contructed` at all but rather `original` (if you get what I mean.......).

Nonetheless, always interesting to see all the differing opinions :thumb
 
I wonder if they'll do this kit for the new WC GS:augie:blast

no worries at all Mark ... just shows how the interest (or lack) allowed it to dwindle into obscurity! :blagblah

I for one really like the design...... :thumb2

Yeah so do I goose but to be fair, most of the opinions are valid ones or at least valid to the `post-er` (made up word :D)
 
Retro look

I liked it but £3000!!"!!!!, I think you could get a genuine bike for that!!!
 
I like the look,and thought it would be good to transform an old bike if you could find one cheap enough.
Then I realised that the tank was only a cover,(yes I realise the 1200 has a cover)which made the kit seem rather expensive.

I like it. Now all we gotta do it get BM to make a cafe racer outa the R1200R and that would be a cool garage!
