Default new triple black
hi everyone, i just picked up a new gs last week and i am absolutely loving it. i had to order a low seat from wunderlich cause i can't quite plant my foot flat on the ground which makes me a bit unconfortable.
i would like to install a quick shifter like i had on my k 1300s but am afraid it might void the warranty.
can anyone help me with this
thank u very much
ps undecided on which engine protection bars. was thinking Ztechnik look nice and not too bulky

Like the previous Triple Black edition of the standard GS, which proved very popular, the new Adventure version has a three-shade paint scheme that covers the Telelever forks, engine cases, rear frame, Paralever swingarm and cylinder head covers.

Better get those engine guards ( black of course ), I found out the hard way, nothing serious just annoying. All good now had the valve covers powder coated.
Enjoy.

Don't know about the quick shifter but I have the Ztechnik engine guards and love em. Very robust and a minimalist approach. No need to remove for servicing.
Have fun

Thumbs up What a good xmas present to myself!
The new Triple Black arrived yesterday. It's black! I traded in my previous 2010 GS in blue - 20 months with 62,000kms on the clock. About an average of 103kms a day.

Here's hoping the new one will be as good. Spoked wheels and I have fitted TKC80s for some additional offroad capability. Have spent today fitting the GPS and changing the footpegs. Rode it out of the shop with 7kms on the odo. So far have found the bike to be a bit more powerful with the double overhead cams and the TKC80 tyres make it feel a little chunky.

Looking forward to a good summer ride tomorrow!

Default HP bars
I have the hepco-becker bars in black both lower and upper, they look great and the uppers have mounts for their driving lights which also look great & function well. Congrats on your new gs
