Electronics » Running Lights, Cameras and Satnav Mount

Please let me know if this post is not allowed, but I wanted to report on accessories I've had added to my RS and also the great service I got from Phil at Moto-Mate.

I was being told on ride outs with mates that my daytime running light wasn't very bright and so I read all the posts on here about various options.

I spoke with Phil at Moto-Mate and he advised on what I might want to go for (he owns an R1200RS so I was happy to take his lead).
I have now got Denali D4 lights fitted on small, sturdy mounts.
These can be adjusted in brightness via the wizzy wheel and they also flash when the hazard lights are on.
While Phil had the bike stripped down, I had a front and rear dash cam fitted as well. Ideal for when other fools drive too close or dangerously.
I also had a new satnav mount fitted that lifts the device up nearer my eye line.

I haven't met Phil before yesterday, haven't been asked to put this post out there, but wanted to let people know what an absolute geezer he is. The work on the bike was top notch, the coffee was also excellent and he is a great guy to chat with.

If anyone is looking for running lights, Sat Nav Mounts or any other electrical gear, I would highly recommend Phil. He is in the Cambridgeshire area and I went to his garage, but I believe he also travels if necessary.
Photos added for info.
Thanks Phil./

Regards
Mark

That Phil? Never heard of him, sounds like a wrong un.

There's several satisfied moto mate customers on here mate,you've added to yourself to the list.

Thanks for the kind comments Mark, it was great to meet you and your good lady.

Wessie, I'm not sure if I resemble that remark or not

I take you have checked the suspension travel doesn't allow the front mudguard to bash into the camera if you hit a bump? Looks close.

Phil seems to be gaining a flurry of groupies now. I love the absolute geezer statement reminded me of my youth down south.

If you see him tell him to get his arse up North

Ace stuff but on image 8712, what is the extra mud guard attachment?

Lofty

That, my friend, would be the wide rear mudguard, fitted as standard to Australian/NZ models I believe. It's a legal thing.

Your local BMW dealer should be able to get one for you. I have one.

If red wine had not been involved this evening I might have been able to dig out the part number for you...

Cheers

PS: Actually, try this: Rear Fender (2).JPG - Bild entfernt (keine Rechte)

While trying to find one of these in the US, I found a picture of one installed on Debi's bike (Lee"s boss) -i37.servimg_dot_com/u/f37/15/65/53/01/garde_13.jpg

Found this picture as well - i37.servimg_dot_com/u/f37/15/65/53/01/garde_10.jpg. Definitely not an drag reducer! Note will need to replace the _dot_ with a period. Still a newbie :-)

These give a perspective of what it looks like from the rear of the bike.

Also looking for the part number for the inner piece that keeps dirt, etc being thrown on the rear shock.

Paul,
That is what I needed - thank you.

That would be an after-market part called a "MudSling" by MachineArt Moto (or MaMo for short). Worth every penny.
