Indeed. The standard cap has served me well for 3 years and 20K miles. No need to change.
Carpe Diem!

Yeah, I'd do it purely for looks. If someone is going to try to remove the stock cap, they're going to find something else to mess with as well. |

Zitat von Bonzo im Beitrag #3 A decent knife will allow you to get the plug out. Or damage it enough to make it difficult to remove with the proper tool. How often does anyone park in an area where someone has enough balls to mess with another's bike? |

After market Oil Filler Plugs are just another solution for a none existent problem but are a nice earner for Touratech and the other accessory manufactures. I'd include side stand enlargers (carry a puck), brake master cylinder protectors, wheel hub covers etc as well. BMW owners seem intent on spending as much as possible to 'improve' their bikes. I will cough that I've fitted cylinder head protectors (cos' I'm a clumsy git) but I've never had anyone try to tamper with my oil in 50 years on a bike. |

Malcolm, spot on. My cylinder head protectors and panniers protected the heads from extensive damaged by a spotty adolescent, who reversed his poxy car into it, (oh, I’m so sorry I didn’t see it! Couldn’t you have parked it elsewhere?), apart from that I’d keep the cash in my pocket and save it for my expeditions. |

Zitat von thewogster im Beitrag #5 Sometimes it's fun to add things purely for looks. Here's a pic of Debbie's bike with tinted shield, blue reservoir covers and levers. Covers (3).JPG - Bild entfernt (keine Rechte)

Zitat von Lee im Beitrag #9 Those covers and levers are a nice touch. Being blue I’m sure there is a performance boost as well.😉
