Is it just me or does the open right hand side of the underseat area on the 12S cause others problems.
As it's about the only bit of useable space on the bike, it seems ridiculous that BMW didn't make it fully sealed with an option to remove a panel for the alarm if fitted,
After my very wet trip to Scotland in September, this area was full of water and fine grit - not good considering I have an Autocom, Inforad, Switchable Can-Bus 'bypass' system, Garmin Traffic reciever and PMR Bike to bike radio all stashed under there.
I have therefore knocked up a GRP splash guard to solve the problem.
Photos in case anyone else fancies a bash at making one.
