Hello again
As many of you know I have switched my November 2018 R1250GS for a new 2020 R1250 GS Adventure. Many of my videos showed me fitting accessories to my old bike, so this one shows me re-fitted the Farkles! (or at least most of them and some new ones!)
I am grateful to Steve Abel of A Bike Think, who provided some of the Denali Parts fitted (disclaimer in video). His site and KZbin Channel links are below and if you need any Denali items I'm sure Steve will be able to help.

I also have the LED Headlight Protector off Ebay and here is the link:

I fitted the B6 Brake lights after this video as it took some time to decide where to put them but I'm really happy with the outcome. Details Below:
Buy a pack of 16mm pipe clips off EBay .These have rubber sleeves so will not damage the pannier racks.
Buy a 300x100mm of 3mm aluminium plate off eBay and ask him to cut it in half (50mm) and the width of your number plate (I think mine was 272mm). Buy a pack of 6 x 12mm stainless steel screws (with hex heads) and the same 6mm nyloc nuts. You will also need a pack of 6mm stainless steel COUNTERSUNK bolts. IMPORTANT: This is all aluminium or stainless so totally rust free.
Method:
Fit the pipe clips round the pannier stay, then hold the aluminium plate against it and mark for the holes. Drill the aluminium plate with 6mm drill. You will now have to drill GENTLY the aluminium plate NOT ALL THE WAY THROUGH, with a 12mm drill to produce the countersink for the screws. Drill number plate near base either side and lightly bolt the aluminium plate to the pipe clips using the countersunk screws and mark the aluminium plate through the holes in the number plate. Remove the aluminium plate and drill the holes marked with a 6mm drill. Now, using the plates that come with each B6 mark the 3mm holes to secure the units. These are going to be slightly bigger (say 3.5mm) as you will secure them with the bolts and buts provided by Denali. (I also used the rubber seal that you would use for a surface mount, but that's optional). Drill these holes (4), then measure a point in the middle of each light and mark this on the aluminium plate. Drill this to 10-12mm to allow the wire to pass through. Fit all the parts and secure the wires to the INSIDE of the pannier racks and each change in direction or at corners. You will need to use small zip-ties as f not it is difficult to fit the panniers as they rely on an interference fit to stop rattling and movement so there is little space. Certainly be sure the 'clasp' of the zip-tie is on the rear out the way.
Hope that all works for you
Nick
Below are various links to kit I use or items referenced in this video.
These are amazon.co.uk (United Kingdom) links and clicking through and purchasing does earn me a small commission and costs you nothing extra.
I'd be really grateful if you are buying any of these if you used the links and help support the channel.
Thank you
Nick
