Hi Mallard, I love what you have done with the OEM lights but can I ask where you got the brackets from? Cheers

The bracket is (I think) BMW part No: 77 51 8 389 189. It’s made for the GS model. The beak on the GSA is slightly different but you can make it fit.
As I didn’t know at the time whether the bracket would fit or not, I finished up buying it from BMW Bohling - it cost a little more than the Chinese copies you can get, but if it didn't fit, I could return it.
As I mentioned, although the bracket fits in exactly the same way as on the GS, it will not fit straight onto the GSA. I had to make up some 5cm spacers, together with longer bolts which allows the bracket to sit a little lower and clear the beak.

I’ve just stumbled across this thread having spent the last 20 mins in the garage pondering over the position of my aux lights. They are on the light bar r1250 GS and I was wondering if they would fit further inside the cowling so less obtrusive.
Anyone done this? Photos please.

Hi do you have a part number for the bracket, I want to do as you have done !
Neil, my GSA is long gone. I had to rack my brains to remember this post! The part No is in the 3rd post up. As said in the post, the GS bracket is not a straight fit onto the GSA, - the beaks are different. I had to make some spacers 5cm long and get some long bolts to suit, but it can be done.
mate thats great , gives me a starting point .Thank you for the swift reply , cheers
Here you go Neil. Found in the deepest depths of my PC. I made 2 spacers. You can see one in the foreground, the other is on the bracket. I made mind from a round plastic bar. They are 5cm long, but I can't remember the length of the bolts, but I think they were M8's. When I sold the bike I put the spotlights back to the standard fitting and sold this lot to another forum member who, if I remember correctly was called Roger and based in N.I. Good luck.
Excellent , thank you
