Bought a 2002 Scarver recently and it has this electrical socket on a bracket to the left of the forward luggage bay. It looks like its for a 4-pin din type plug. Does anyone know what it could be for? The previous owner hadnt had the bike long and didnt know what its for.

I've got a new (to me) 650GS on a 56 plate which has the optional accessory plug/power socket. Is it possible to charge the battery through this with the right connector? I'd hoped to connect it to an Optimate over the winter but don't want to take panels off which would get in the way of an...

Hi All I want to fit the power socket to my '02 Dakar - is it a difficult job or should I get the guys at BMW to take care of it? I'm guessing I'll have to disconnect the battery... will my alarm be a problem with doing that? :? Thanks for your help :riding: Jase

Hi All, :howdy: My 2004 CS was really reluctant to wake up from its slumber this morning - it was a bit chilly. On the third attempt it did start ok. I have been using the bike daily doing about 20 miles each way on a commute, it also has an alarm which would also be drawing current. It...

Hi Folks This week one of our group is trying to find out details of fitting the top box bracket to his GS. As there seems to be a famine of instructions for all the BMW add ons when we buy stuff second hand. I?d like to accumulate a library of shared access to the spare instructions I?m sure...

I bought a 2003 CS a couple of months ago, and need to fit an accessory socket. Where have others fitted theirs, or where does BMW fit them? Cheers, Ray.

Where is the best place to buy an accessory lead from? I don't want a BMW one, I'd rather have the versatility of a standard sized one. Anyone have any suggestions? Links please if you've got 'em. :-)

Hi There seems to quite a bit of discussion on things electrical... so heres another one! I want to fit a cigar lighter accessory plug for recharging cam-corder batteries and the like whilst touring. A friend suggested wiring straight form the battery with an inline fuse? This will work...

Has anyone seen the screen extender for the GS1150 on the Touratech site? It looks as though it should fit the tall screen on the f650. It clamps on and is ajustable in rake. I saw one at barton bike night last week. The downside is that it is ?40ish. I had a look at mocking something up with...
