Stiffening the screen support on the R1250 GSA

Post by BillB »

The standard screen on the new range of 1250 GSA bikes tends to wobble and vibrate as a result of the flimsy support which doesn’t do the job of supporting it very well. Cymarc bike parts have designed a means of strengthening the screen support which certainly improves this problem.
I have made a short video to show how to fit the kit which I purchased from Nippy Normans.com in the UK. The kit arrived in about 2 weeks and cost just a bit over $200 posted.

Hi Bill,

Good to see you beginning to fix the stuff BMW should have got right up front. Some call it 'completing the bike build'. The after-market is thriving :lol:

I had a long wish list. Fix:
  • the wet multi-plate clutch
  • launch control
  • quick-shifter down-shift at part load and/or binding clutch pack on down-shifting
  • the lack of a cover over the electronics at the rear when the passenger seat is removed
  • wonky wind screen
  • brake and clutch lever adjustment catering to dinner plate hands
  • painful helmet / bike / phone bluetooth connection functionality
  • no fill-in side panels around the rear shock and wheel
  • noisy left cylinder
Hopefully when, or if, the 2022 bikes finally arrive, these engineering and design issues will be addressed.

Or maybe the Aftermarket people are reading my posts and will hopefully release suitably engineered solutions at appropriately BMW-price points. :lol:
