What a faff! I fitted a Cymarc one to my gsa took about 1/2 hr well pleased with it too. No idea how much the R&G one is but with the branding stuck in front of you it should be £50 cheaper imo. As far as getting the TFT stolen I don’t know of anyone whose had one stolen , but just like stolen bikes I don’t know any one whose had one stolen , but 100s go missing every day , just my thoughts

My son had his TFT stolen from his R1250gs in Central London a couple of month ago - he bought a new TFT from ebay, had it coded at his BMW dealer and fitted a Touratech protector.

A nice video as usual, but I struggle to see the benefit of this case and certainly there’s no need for billet aluminium for a static case. It doesn’t seem to provide any security against a TFT being ripped off, which I believe is the common mode of theft, and I certainly don’t want to be looking at an R&G ( or any other 3rd party logo) right on top of my screen. I have a Cymarc (no logo) security cover for peace of mind whilst touring as you never know where you may need to park-up, that one makes ripping off the screen difficult, not impossible, but it’s a good deterrent at a fair cost.

It's just like the saying goes " if you have a hammer, everything around looks like a nail!" With a set of wrenches & power screw driver, nearly every thing of the front of the R1250GS got to be removed as in this video. However, with just a pair curved tip surgical clamps & removing just the wing-shaped cowling , I managed to remove the TFT, & the subsequently reinstall it, , under 10 minutes (in total!). Dinking around with the R&G TFT guard took much longer!!! BTW, I bought the R&G TFT guard from Steve recently!

Looks like a really nicely designed and manufactured item, but it's not going to stop TFTs getting ripped off bikes, unlike the Cymarc anti-theft protector for the GS (which is very easy to install) and to protect the actual screen from scratches I would use a guard from Speedo Angels - a lot cheaper ;)

Well, I have to agree that I have never heard of a screen being stolen,but I lead a sheltered life, I suppose. A thief would have to be quite determined to pick on the GS . But the S 1000, looks a bit easier to snatch. I think the three screws that hold the flyscreen on could be replaced with those anti theft fasteners. It certainly won’t stop them, but might slow them down a bit.

R&G designed this as crash protection on the likes of S1000RR's for track use. It was never intended for the GS although I think it looks great.

I doubt a fireman would come out with this statement. My point is we work on BMW's every day and meet their owners. You would have thought I'd have met someone by now who has had their TFT stolen. Met loads who have had their luggage stolen and even their motorcycles stolen but not a TFT stolen. I think It's an interesting point but I accept people have had them stolen but I just havent heard about it other than on forums where someone has a hearsay comment about it.

Looks cool I'll admit, but not quite seeing how this will keep it from being stolen, full well understanding that may not be particularly likely... But again, maybe it's not about that really... looks do count... Oh, and what about this "wait til the end" to see some new headlight filter" blah blah blah???

Steve, I really like you and enjoy your videos and the marketplace you've built. But, did you really throw shade on R&G branding?! Mate, you shouldn't have any opinion on branding since "A Bike Thing" branding looks like a toddler's creation on an etch-a-sketch. Logo per se, yours is the worst among established brands. Anyway to each his own.
@ABIKETHING
@ABIKETHING 7 месяцев назад
Did you really just throw shade on Abikething? My comment about R&G was positive, you heard an honest opinion from an individual who has been a biker for years and today I felt it was deserved for it to come out. I havent been just throwing shade on the brand all these years with the intent to speak badly about them as you have just done. R&G are significantly larger than Abikething and you can now see their new branding coming through. i like the company and the people. That's my honest opinion. When Abikething is larger, I'll be sure to address the etch-a sketch design and it'll all be part of the journey. If you knew who designed the Abikething logo, I think you'd have a different opinion. It's actually a very strong brand but I have no doubt it will still evolve over the years. Anyway, we are all entitled to opinions and shouldn't try and influence control saying that one shouldn't have an opinion regardless of whatever reason.
@shamramachandran
@shamramachandran 7 месяцев назад
@@ABIKETHING It was no shade man, I was just holding a mirror in front of you. If yours was a honest opinion about R&G then why can't mine be a honest opinion about your brand. Probably you might evolve your branding when time comes, but that is something in the future and since I can't see the future I can only go with what is present in front of me. I also agree with your point that "A Bike Thing" is a strong and upcoming brand, but the branding(logo) is weak. Again, my opinion won't change if I come to know who designed the current logo since it is you who is personally attached to the origin story and me as a consumer, I'm not. I would've agreed with your comment if your design was exceptional and then I can understand that you are an expert in this. I was just telling you that yours is not. Like you mean no disrespect to R&G, the same is with me, no disrespect. I don't mean any disrespect nor am I trying influence/control anything, it is just a honest opinion and we should leave it at that. I just feel strongly about this because of my domain expertise.Good luck mate.
