Seat pad for unexpected pillions
We all know the problem:
The motorbike has been stripped, a single seat has been
fitted together with a luggage rack. We want a lightweight,
stylish bike.
Somewhere in the Ligurian Alps on an off-road gravel
track, there is a frustrated motorcyclist waving at you.
"The chain has broken! Can you give me a ride?" - "I've
had an accident. Can you give me a ride to the
campsite?" But where does your pillion sit?
We have the solution. Now there is a comfortable seat
available which mounts to your bike quickly! It is 7cm
high and measures 26 x 26cm. It fits under the luggage
rack and is only mounted when needed. Wide Velcro
straps are used to secure the pad to the luggage rack.
High-quality foam and a plastic base plate guarantee
the best riding comfort.

Oil pan intermediate ring, BMW R 100 GS
The oil content of the motor is increased which results in
a lower oil temperature. The oil level is also lowered
which reduces oil loss during filling and overall oil
consumption. It comes with a rugged sump plate for offroad
use. This plate is extremely robust and withstands
the most demanding conditions.
Delivery range:
Oil pan intermediate ring, bottom sheet, gaskets,
sealing material, screws, fitting instructions.

for connecting the temperature sensor.

R 100 GS sump guard
Our sump guard protects the centre stand and the front
silencer against damage from stones or other objects
protruding from the ground when riding off-road. As the
plate is bent up, it prevents sand and dirt from
penetrating the space between the engine and the
gearbox. Thus, the plate protects the crankshaft ring
from dirt and increases its life considerably.
Our sump guard mounts to the central stand with four
clamps. The rubber elements on the clamp provide
vibration isolation.
The plate is CNC machined from 4 mm aluminium.
040-1250
Wheel spacer 5 mm for bigger tyres
For longer trips you want to mount bigger tyres on the R
100 GS, such as MICHELIN DESERT but neither the
swingarm or the spring strut give enough clearance for
fitting bigger tyres.
The best solution would be to adjust the spokes. But this
is a complicated and expensive solution. Besides, you
don't mount bigger tyres except for travelling.
The wheel spacer for the back wheel is made from
aluminium and comes supplied with longer screws.
WARNING: not street legal, for OFF- ROAD USE only
Tried and tested on many tours through Africa.
040-0258
Oil cooler bypass hose
The oil cooler of the BMW R 100 GS is located in such a
way that it damages easily during a fall. Even if
relocated, it may be damaged. Either the hose bursts or
is squeezed (often by the crashbars) during a fall. Or the
oil cooler starts to leak. Most of the time, spares are
difficult to obtain. What you need is the oil cooler bypass
hose which replaces the original hose. Your motorbike
will be fully functional again.

boots there is not enough space between them and the

are fitted further back thus providing optimum space for
enduro boots.
The wider foot base also allows longer distances to be
covered comfortably while standing on the footpegs.
