I say this because I ordered several parts from them back on July 15th, and they have not yet shipped. I have exchanged several emails with them, and they say that the asphalt gray panniers were on backorder but are now available. But they told me that on Tuesday, and they still do not have them from BMW yet. They sent me an email saying that they should receive them on the 13th. |

Today makes 7 weeks and 1 day since I placed my order. The last information that I received about the shipment is that my order was in Frankfurt on August 22nd. If I am to believe that the package is still in Frankfurt, that would mean that it has been there for 11 days. And I can only think that KFM refused to provide me with express shipping when they had so badly dropped the ball and took forever to get my products shipped to them. I am not sure if I am the charter member, but you can definitely include me among the ranks of the never ever again from kfm-motorraeder.de club. |

Well, I've had the RS for a week or so now, (on the road from last Sunday) and always intended to change the colour of my panniers and topbox. They were what I believe is Asphalt Grey, but that lets the side down on the Lupin Blue/Light Grey metallic colours IMHO, so we're having a combination of the blue and grey. Top box blue, and panniers light grey, all with the colour matched RS logo on to tie in with the forward placed logos on the bike itself.

Zitat von BusBoy11 im Beitrag #35 Didn't know there were two shades of the asphalt grey, but the reason I went for a respray was the grey didn't tie in to very much on the bike............the stripe down the centre of the tank, and the engine covers are the biggest bits painted grey. To me, it looked like an after thought, painting them grey (on the blue/white bike), almost as if they were delivered "primed-up" ready for a colour to go on them. JMO

There are two shades. The original color was a light gray, and I agree with you that it looked almost like it was a primer. I think it was a case of BMW trying to make a universal color match the center stripe on the tank on all bikes. But the cylinder head covers are asphalt gray, which is a bit darker. Now the case has come in Asphalt gray, which should perfectly match the cylinder head covers. I think they still would look awkward on a lupin bike, but may match the gray on my bike sufficiently. Still waiting on your pics ;) |

I ordered the bags for the 1250 in asphalt gray from KFM motorraeder.de as well and just received them- |

Zitat von Philbuck im Beitrag #34 New lids come with the frame attached. Were you able to remove the lid from the frame? After replacing the lids I was wondering if it was possible to remove the shelf, then remove the lid and leaving the frame attached to the inner half of the bag.

Zitat von Lee im Beitrag #41 In the second pic (hopefully the one shown above this text), I removed the grey skin from its frame, but that was a mistake, especially trying to get it back together as you have to break a waterproof seal. I just kept mine all together and masked everything off.

Zitat von Philbuck im Beitrag #42 I was thinking of the frame that has the shelf attached to it. I pulled the old lid out of the box and see you would need to drive the hinge pins out to remove the lid from the frame. If I ever decide to paint these lids I think it best to leave the frame on. I would probably crack the hinge trying to drive the pin out.
