Wunderlich Media Handlebar Bag

Wunderlich Media Handlebar BagWunderlich’s new Media Handlebar Bag offers a handy place to hold a smartphone or sat-nav, as well as a somewhere to stash a wallet, mobile phone, sunglasses and all those essential items that need to be kept handy during a ride.

An ideal alternative to a tank bag, the Media Handlebar Bag secures to the handlebar using Velcro® straps, making it quick and easy to attach and remove, and a belt loop is included so it can be carried hands-free off the bike too.

A clear PVC compartment on the top flap is provided for the operation of smartphones, sat navs and other touch-sensitive devices (up to 70 mm x145 mm), with a water-resistant cable input point, for charging on the move.

Beneath the flap is the generous main storage compartment, which has a blue lining to make finding smaller items easier. There are separate, extra pockets and additional storage places for pens, credit cards, loose change, etc; no more fiddling about in jacket pockets at fuel stops and for tolls.

The outer shell is made from Teflon-coated Cordura®, so it’s tough, hard-wearing and resistant to sun-bleaching. Inside is a waterproof coating,  integrated strengthening and a shock-absorbing liner that helps to keep contents protected and prevents them from bulging/shifting during riding.

Naturally, all zips are water and dirt-resistant, and all feature easy-pull tabs so items can be accessed without taking gloves off – a real bonus when making quick stops.

Unlike most bar bags, the Wunderlich Media Handlebar Bag is model-specific, so the fit is tailored to each machine, with a wide selection of BMW models covered. Selling at £59.00 including VAT, visit www.nippynormans.com for details and a full fitment list.

Wunderlich Cruise Control for BMW R nineT

Make R nineT cruising less wrist-averse

An inexpensive and practical alternative to electronic systems, Wunderlich’s new Cruise Control makes long stretches on the R nineT a lot less taxing on the wrist.

Quick and easy to install, using only basic tools, the Cruise Control system is housed in a replacement aluminium handlebar weight, which fits neatly and simply in place of the original – no drilling or cutting of the bars or twistgrip required and no fiddly wiring installation either.

The rider operates the Cruise Control by rotating the built-in adjustment wheel forwards, applying a small amount of pressure to the twistgrip.

Adding light pressure to the Cruise Control slows the return of the twistgrip and takes the strain off the wrist and hand. By adding more pressure, the control is held in position, to set a desired speed/throttle opening. To release, the rider simply rotates the mechanism backwards.

Teeth on the adjustment wheel make it easier for gloved fingers to grip it firmly and allow for fine adjustment. The control mechanism is Teflon-mounted for smoothness and to prevent sticking or tight spots.

The shape of the weight is like the original factory-fitted item on the left side, so a symmetrical appearance is retained. The Wunderlich R nineT Cruise Control is available at the introductory price of £75.00 and comes complete with full fitting and operating instructions.

Wunder Cover

A cover is a must for any motorcycle left outside, helping to protect against the weather, dirt and spray from passing vehicles, bird droppings and harmful UV rays, (not to mention unwanted attention!)

Rubberised on the outside and with fully taped seams, Wunderlich’s Outdoor Cover is 100% waterproof, yet is also breathable. This helps to prevent the build up of condensation and moisture around the motorcycle, which can accelerate corrosion. A soft coating on the inside cushions bodywork from scratches.

The cover comes complete with a tightening band and additional loops for straps/cords, should the weather turn really nasty. The material is resistant to heat, cold and harmful UV rays, so will keep on protecting for seasons to come.

It comes complete with its own storage bag, measuring 47 x 31 x 13 cm and packed-up it weighs just over 3kg, so it’s easy to transport if bikes need to be covered outside work or while on tour. Designed to fit all BMW models, from the F650GS to the K1600GTL, even those with full luggage systems fitted.

Currently on offer at just £66-* including VAT (reduced from £79-) the Wunderlich Outside Cover is available from official UK distributors Nippy Normans. Visit www.nippynormans.com to view the complete range.

Wunderlich BMW GoPro Mounts

An increasing number of motorcyclists are using GoPro cameras to record their rides, both for practical and pleasure purposes.

Finding a suitable and safe mounting point for the compact camera can be tricky though, and often ends with precarious positioning and poor filming angles.

Wunderlich’s new mounts are a stable, secure and discreet way to fix a GoPro to modern BMW bikes.

Made from precision cut alloy, they’re super lightweight and feature rubber mountings to help cut out vibration when filming.

They bolt to existing mounting points – either on the screen or headlight, depending on the model – so there are no suction cups, straps or fiddly frame mountings to worry about; and no drilling or cutting needed either.

The GoPro attaches directly to the bracket, no additional/fiddly adapters required, and the bracket is discreet enough to leave in place when the camera isn’t attached.

Mounts are currently available for:
F800GS/Adventure
K1200/1300GT
K1600GT/GTL/Sport
R1200GS/Adventure
R1200GS LC/Adventure
R1200RT/LC

Prices start from £69.00 per kit. Contact Wunderlich’s exclusive UK distributor, www.nippynormans.com

Invest in protecting your S1000R

BMW specialists, Wunderlich, have developed a range of accessories to help protect the most vulnerable components of the S1000R/RR. Even a low speed or static drop can cause costly damage to high specification sports machines, so investing in protection is a wise precaution.

The range includes an Oil Cooler Grill (£79.00) made from meshed stainless steel with a sturdy anodized aluminium frame; heavy-duty, slip-resistant Fairing Crash Protectors (£99.00), which come with a 5 year warranty; a Water Cooler Grill (£99.00) also constructed of stainless steel and anodised aluminium; and Rear Double Shock Crash Protectors (£49.00), which are both abrasion resistant and feature an integrated damping layer to help absorb impact and protect the vulnerable wheel spindle from damage. They have a 5 year warranty too.

The majority of Wunderlich’s 3000 products are designed and made in-house, using the latest 3-D prototyping printers, laser scanning for precision and accuracy, and manufactured on their own CNC milling machines.

Quality and durability is tested and assessed under extreme conditions, through participation in competitions such as the BMW Power Cup. Wunderlich are also fully certified to DIN/EN/ISO 9001:2000 German Federal Motor Transport Authority standards for quality assurance and their products are tested and approved to the tough TÜV standard.
