R1200/1250 GS cockpit cover.

I bought this off a German company but see it now listed on Nippy Normans. Fiddly to fit but well made and looks good. Will find out if it keeps any airflow off when I get a run out on Sunday.

I'd be interested to know what it does to wind and front tyre noise.

Managed about 60 miles today and I have to admit it was very calm in behind the screen. Very little turbulence.

I have to concure it works well fitted mine and ride 200 miles today. Very pleased

Great, fitted mine today but never got chance to try it. Looks much neater around that area though.

When riding dirt roads, my GSA is very prone to collect dust that covers GPS and TFT.

I know it's too early to say if the cover makes a difference, but it would be nice to get a feedback regarding dust collection some time in the future.

Looks good but sold out already.

Think Reggie should get commission.

You should be able to get them from V-Parts in Germany where they are made.

Hello All. It was me who had the last one from Nippies. But Ill save you your sanity as I spent hours trying to fit this. The issue is the USB plug charger and the nut that holds it in place. The kit comes with a laughably shite plastic spanner. But because the nut is done up more than 0.1 of a Newton Meter it simply bends and the area behind isn’t designed for sausage fingered gibbons to work so its near impossible to free that nut. That’s just to disconnect the USB plug which once the cover is in place its simply impossible to re tighten that nut. So I resorted to removing several trim panels and the crash bars etc. The “instructions” in 19 languages failed to mention how exactly to re connect the USB plug once the panel was in place. And the crowning turd is after all that effort the USB lead doesn’t go into the plug with the dust cover open. So had to hack that off and leave it loose. But it is fitted and just how effective it is remains to be seen. As farkles go this is one I wouldn’t bother with as its not cheap either.

Did you not watch the YouTube video? It helps. Took me less than an hour. And, I have the wunderlich winglets to deal with too. Admit, the instructions with it are crap.

 

[Gezaware]

Sadly I didn’t which in hindsight was probably an error. Though I did think how difficult could this possibly be ??

 

[wpm]

I have to admit it didn't take me long to fit it and it works a treat to.
