Thanks for posting. It may not be for all, and it may not be the right design for all. But for the minority of us that is interested, just out of curiosity or concern this is the type of heads up/link I like.
That said: Obviously BMW got it right this time - priority given to road (Strasse) performance. (I asked BMW rep about this trade off when they introduced us to the water exercise at Hechlingen Germany). Of the postings so far only a (very) small minority see the need to give their pig better capabilities in this field. So the rest of us may still have to do some modifications also on future GS bikes
Oh the joy of the usual flippant responses on internet forums...
Air intake is just above rh cylinder, and is a weakness in the 1200GS design for wading. Any cheap mod to help prevent water damage from a numpty taking their bike too deep has got to be good in my book. Sure the aesthetics can be worked on if need be, but so what? Pointless? Don't think so mate.

Sorry but it really looks atrocious. Also he has full road tires on the bike so I'm sure he won't be doing much wading.. really if you need to do serious off road you need to get another bike, our GS' just aren't built for it.
It's a bit like making your granny sprint. She'll do it if you prod her but she sure as hell don't like it
