OK, I like getting stuff off ebay for a few reasons. It's more fun than going around shops, you feel like you might be getting a bargain (at least until the last minute of the auction) and you generally find something extra to buy as well which you didn't know you wanted or needed.
In July, just before a nice long holiday touring Europe, I got it into my head that I wanted a bagster tank cover and bag. Bought what was advertised as an 1150gs tank cover in black. The item turned up and didn't quite fit properly, seemed slightly large and the fuel filler hole was far too small. However, the seller said he had used it happily on an older model 1150 (!the one with the ugly headlight?")
It was too close to the holiday so I decided not to worry about it and just leave it in the garage at home, thinking maybe I was just doing something wrong.
A good few months later and I have decided that I need to find out whether it will fit a bike.
It seems to have the correct cut-outs for the BMW logo either side of the tank, however, it seems to be a bit large for the standard tank on my year 2000 model.
Does anybody know where I might be able to get the answer?
I have tried searching the internet a bit and also contacting Bagster with no joy.
Probably a bit of a shot in the dark, but I'm stuck with it until I can find out what it is for. Once I know, it's either going on ebay or to somebody on here.
And finally, before you say it, I should have just sent it back in the first place when I found it didn't fit.
