Kevin,

I just ordered some from Chicago BMW. They are 20% off, which means they are about $47, plus maybe $5 for shipping (I am ordering some other stuff, too).

So if your dealer gives you are hard time, you can get them cheaper from Chicago BMW without the attitude. Just a suggestion.

GS handguards

Kevin - you dealer is correct. It is impossible to install GS handguards on the Roadster. But if it was possible, it would look like this! :wink:

Please ignore the K12 mirrors in that picture, that is not possible either! :D

In reality, it is an easy installation, requiring at most, an adjustment of the banjo fitting as described or the easy way, a slight trimming of the material for some clearance. Some don't have to do either. Go for it.
