I wonder if yours is the most sorted WK in existence? I suspect so :)

All I've done is stick the new double take mirrors on and ride it some more - mirrors are fab will post pics later.

Finally put mine up for sale as the KTM is now on the road.
Travelling by car this year so no need for a dual sport bike (and the KTM is 50kg lighter!)
Looking for around £1100
Someone.is hopefully looking at it later today but will post the link to the F/S over on a public FB group

Hi all an old thread I know but where does one get the left switchgear from?
thanks

The new switchgear turned up today, and was the more modern type (as shown above by Netsonic), for just £20. A word of warning if you try to fit it, I drilled the hole about 1-2mm too big in error, it needs to be exact size, mine does move around very slightly, but not enough to worry me. It fixed the problem of no dipped beam and extremely easy to fit

I cant get over the prices, I wonder what BMW switchgear would've cost, but then it may not have failed so soon?!?

The suspension has been set very low on the rear on mine, I bought a C spanner to adjust it (for princely sum of £3 from Quadzilla) but cant decide whether to go in LHS or RHS (when looking forward) to adjust it - both look a lot of work or is there an easier way? How many threads show roughly when its set up from factory?
