Generally your boots need to fit to your leg and not have a trouser inside. This close fit reduces the risk of the boot being pulled off in a collision.

On an R1200RT LC (2014) the badge assembly is held onto the fairing panel by two screws. The rounded badges themselves are held in place by double sided tape.

Not saying it’s the best, but it’s what I have had fitted for many years without any issues.

Engine and transmission oils, spark plugs and air filter change, along with fitting the Chinese ‘innov’ camera

Just some pics for information. The cameras and mounting brackets are different from those shown on the web page. I’ve managed to attach one to a GoPro mount for the front, will work on the back one later.

I’ve just had one delivered today, I’ll bang some pics off tomorrow before I fit it

Off a GS forum but may be similar! Edit: I checked my Haynes manual and you have to “remove the rear shock absorber left hand cover” to access it.

Let me know how you get on Steve. My job boots were always Altbergs and I needed a sole replacement on a very comfy pair but I believe they stopped repairing bike boots a while back due to a customer dispute. The current repair offering is for the walking style boots not motorcycle boots.

I’ve had both those issues on my 2014, but not at the same time. GS911 was my friend too

I have an Akra fitted an have for some time so I don’t really recall how much louder it is. I get a nice backfire pop every now and then when decelerating but don’t think overall it is too offensive. However, if you take the removable baffle out it is too loud for comfort.
