Today I'm doing a retrospective on my 09 BMW G650GS. I hope you enjoy, and I'm hoping that if you are looking at one of these bikes to purchase for yourself or someone close to you, or maybe looking for inspiration for what you'd like in your own bike's farkles, that I can be of some help to take you into your next point in your own adventure.
If you have any questions, comments, or points of discussion you're interested in that I have not talked about (like exhaust systems), give me a shout below in the comments section.

You can find these products used on my bike here (BUYER BEWARE!!! I have NO affiliations; shop with caution. I DO NOT know if all of these suppliers are legit!):
Cortech 82-417 tail bag: www.vstroma.com/CortechSportTa... (While it's supposedly available here, it's probably safer to look at the newer Cortech Super 2.0 lineup, as there are more shops offering it.)
1 Off Motorsports HID Headlight: This company no longer exists.
Dirt Skins Fork Seal Skins: dirtskins.com/product/dirt-sk...
LED Tail light:www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from... (This appears to be the same tail light as I have on my bike. I am unsure whether or not it is the correct light for the 11-17 G650GS/Serteo, so buyer beware!)
Touratech Fairing Crashbars (also available in stainless steel): touratech-usa.com/Store/Fairi...
Happy Trails Products Skidplate: www.happy-trail.com/find-your...
Kildala2000 Center-stand skidplate: I am unsure if Kildala still builds GS products. He is still active on Advrider and the F650 (Chain Gang) forum. If you want to get a hold of one of his products, I suggest contacting him to check for availability. advrider.com/f/members/kildal...
Touratech Rallye Sprocket Guard: Looking on Touratech's site, it would appear that this product is no longer offered.
Touratech Master Cylinder Guard: Looking on Touratech's site, it would appear that this product is no longer offered.
