Touring cover for 1250RT with luggage

I've got a 2021 1250RT LE with OE panniers and the 49L top box. Does anyone know of supplier & product info for a lightweight cover that I can take on vacation to keep the foreign dust off her overnight, and as a dust cover in my garage on return? I was thinking either this from Oxford https://w...

Re: French clean air certificate (Crit'Air)

More info - having just purchased the bike I've been waiting for the full V5C to arrive - and would you believe it the Euro category is on the thing, along with the CO2 g/km. My 1250RT LE from 30 Sep 2021 is EURO5 and does 110 g/km for CO2. So then I went to the Crit Air page to apply and noticed th...

Re: UK Screen swap?

Thanks everyone. I called Powerbronze to check if they had stock not notified to website but alas not. But on the plus side, it turns out that they are an hours ride away from me via a very scenic route from Winchester to Littlehampton. They said I should come on down and check out the tint. Could I...

Re: UK Screen swap?

Thanks @sakm - I have a lead with Powerbronze who it turns out are a 40 min drive from my home (oh dear another reason for a ride!). They can't get me a clear touring screen in my timescale but, at their kind invitation, I'm going down there later to take a look at the tinted version. I was initiall...

Re: UK Screen swap?

Thanks @jsim1, I've read good things about the PowerBronze and the price point is competitive too. The lead time on the order is too far out for me to guarantee getting it in 7 days which is my cut-off atm.

UK Screen swap?

Its a long shot but...I have recently purchased a 21 1250RT LE and love it except that as a 6 foot 2 man on a bike with the BMW OEM sport screen, I'm finding it noisier than I had hoped. I am told the large screen will solve my problems. Here's the ask - anyone out there with a comparable tall scree...

Re: French clean air certificate (Crit'Air)

I now have the answer.

The DVLA check a car is taxed service at https://www.gov.uk/co2-and-vehicle-tax-tools shows the euro category and CO2 emissions.

Here's a pic.

Re: French clean air certificate (Crit'Air)

Hi All - I am looking for advice on how to fill in the French vehicle emissions sticker application - posting in this thread to keep things tidy. I need to get a jog on as heading to France in 2 weeks. I just purchased a 1250RT LE first registered in Sept 2021. Three are 3 questions. 1 - Fuel type =...
