Does anyone have one of these fitted to there 1250GS ?

Someone else on here has them on his 1250 Exclusive. I know because I messaged him about them. He got his from BMW direct but also gave me a link for a cheaper ebay item if you'd prefer to try that one. I can dig it out if you like?
Thanks fella that would be great

Interesting
Yes it fits pal i have one, like you i love the look of them....only downside is that its a ballache to fit, you have to get to the fixings under the front led to mount the bottom straps.
Other than that its great

Quite a bit of stripping down front end to fit
I got the BM one, and yes it is a fiddly job as BMW in their infinite wisdom (cost cutting) have the bottom spigots held in with a push type washer (as holding TFT in type) which then need the bushes compressing to return after the extra thickness of the bottom holder are added, needed 3 hands and a lot of swearing
Easy to get the screen off and clean , just 4 pull off / pop back in spigots. I think it looks good.
Has the added benefit of keeping between the headlamp and inner panels free of flies and cuts the draught through there, probably smooths out the front airflow

Perfect thank you

Yes....the road from just before Llanuwchllyn, A494 to A470 Bronaber
Nice road, lots of gates
Loads of nice single track roads around there, especially the one going to Vrynwy
Be a shame to strip down the front of your bike only to find that it won't fit with the new 'swivelling headlights', especially as the guard is not shown as an accessory in the new extensive configurator on the Motorrad web-page
Best bet is to contact your dealer and ask for their advice
