Product Recommendations
| These are products I purchased with my own money and found so useful that I'd like to recommend them to other R1200GS owners. Like a lot of long-time motorcyclists, my garage shelves are filled with stuff that didn't work. This stuff does work -- highly recommended. | |

Daily Photo Rotation
The photo at the top of the page changes every day. If you own a photo of
an R1200GS, or some interesting motorcycle-related subject, and would like
to submit it, here's how. Note that the photos
must be at least 600 pixels wide, and you must both own the copyright to
the photo and grant R1200GS.info the right to display it...
Please send any corrections or suggestions to: HMarc. Thanks!
