Will they fit 08 GS

[Big-G]

My 08 is comming next week.
What will fit from my 04?
Plastic head guards
Givi rack
I'm leaving the Nippy Norman winglets on but will these fit the 08 or have I got to buy the BMW ones.
When I pick it up is there anything I should look for before I take it away.
Thanks for your help

PS Will I be the only one with a blue bike. Every one I've seen so far is yellow or grey???

I think you may find the BM winglets are cheaper than NN ones plus fit and look better IMHO

I think the headguard fixing points are the same as my Touratech ones swapped straight over.

I was tempted by the blue but though the silver looked better!

Unlikely

I would not think that there is very much from your current 1200GS (?) that will fit onto the 800. If you are trading it in with a dealer he would probably be prepred to do a deal which retained the BMW accessories that you have - but then I suppose all the dealing has been done? It will be very interesting to read your reactions - I find it difficult to believe that the 800 can be better in almost any way than the 1200 (unless you are going off-road) but i am keeping an open mind on the subject - and trying out the 800 next week.

... 800?

... Racks and head guards will swap straight across from '04 1200 to '08 1200

... If you're selling privately you may find that the head guards have left marks on the rocker covers which might detract from the perceived re-sale value, in which case a new set might make sense. There's no shortage of sexy alternatives and the MachineArts from NN looky pretty nippy
... If it's trade-in and you have the value established excluding extras then it's the dealers problem (in the nicest possible way )

Sorry

I was on another planet - I saw the "08" and somehow imagined you were going from the 1200 to the 800! So in complete contrast to what I said I would imagine that pretty well evrything should be interchangeable! (I did read somewhere that the new model has the supports fitted under the 'tank' for the standard BMW winglets, althogh I have not found them necessary on my 1200GS.)

Nice one chaps. The headguards haven't left a mark and yes I like the alternatives better but the dealer told me same PX with or without bits so bits off then. Suppose I could sell the guards on fleabay as in great condition and buy some different ones.
Thanks

If it's the givi rack with the two support arms that attach just above the light I'd leave it on and get the new design. The box sits a lot lower down on the new one as you have to remove the BM rack to fit it. Both designs will fit but the new one looks a lot better. IMHO
