Post a picture of your Wethead

Yes, I got the PM thanks!
I ordered them, nice touch. I went a different direction in colors. I have a white 2014 R1200GS. What I did is I took off the grey panels on either side of the tank and having them sprayed in BMW Factory Racing Blue Metallic Matte. Same color used on the Adventure and the F800R. The matte effect against the gloss white will be trick. I'll post pics when finished. Should be next week.
 
2015 R1200GSw picked up Dec 20th. Went from this:

Problem is, the idea of protecting it behind the screen is a bad one. Too much reflection off the protector.

I am going to add some film protector to the headlight, and run without the screen when using the camera. Use the screen the rest of the time.

Some farkels have been added

Work was done by MAX BMW in South Windsor, CT. I bought the stuff, they did the installation. Bottom pic is 'Before'.

Wunderlich front, rear and fairing guards. Wunderlich forward pegs but also available from other suppliers.
Clearwater Krista's and Denali lights mounted on the fairing guard. Glendas mounted on the forks.
Aux tank is from Maple Farkles, looks good, easy to remove, with Pelican Storm case 2450 bolted to it. Denali air horn mounted under the steering head (hidden)
Denali fuse block under the pillion seat.
Custom graphics (film laminate, not paint).
Footpeg lowering kit by Suburban Machinery.
Handle bar mounts for 'stuff' from RCU Design.

Looks great! Maybe list out all your accessories as that may answer some upcoming questions. Are those Wunderlich highway pegs? What kind of rear rack is that? Thanks!
 
Some cool new stuff. Going to be available in the near future (not from me)!
