My Beach Bar installation

[MilwDave]

I probably can rotate the controls; however, the beachbars have a placement dimple mark which is used to align the seam that the control clamp provides as a reference. I can try though ..

Below is an image showing the marking for the Brake Lever:

Did you get this figured out?

Did you get this figured out?

I tried a couple of orientations of the clutch controls; finally, I just sanded down the plastic switch enough not to make contact with the lever.

HUGE shout-out to ANIBAL for helping me get the Mini-Directional not available for sale in the USA:

They're super small and really bright..!!! Below is a comparison of the Diamond pattern vs the Mini.

Now use your GS911 to turn on the 'Cruising Light's' feature! The bike looks sharp ... Well done! ... And yes, it is good to have people all over the world, otherwise I would not have gotten my tachometer as well

 

[Star-Lord]

Funny... I was just setting up the GS911 for that exact purpose... Probably doing the same on the Model B ..

Very like minded... I'll post a picture of the dimmed cruise lights...

Glad I was able to help you accomplish your goal

Kellerman seems to be the LED Mini-Turn Indicators manufacturing company for the BMW accessory; the stenciling appears to be the Kellerman logo:

Yup, along with the overpriced bracket from BMW.

I have to admit... the bracket fits perfectly to the underside of the lever controls, where the LED light is just peeking around the mirror

Used my reverse credit to do the beach bars as well. Only add-on needed was longer clutch and brake lines, triple tree mounts and original wiring harnesses worked well. Of course I snapped the fuel hose connection at the tank putting the tank back on, so waiting for the part. What mirrors did yall use? The OEM mirrors won’t allow me to get the rearview angle right.

Pull that wire harness through the bars, it will really clean up that look; the bars look amazing when you only see a single clutch and brake hydraulic line leading from the handlevers..

The bars are not hollow and I don’t have my own metal shop. Also I don’t mind the lines.

Saw those; went with Drag Specialties. If they don’t work I’ll swap for Biltwell. Thanks for the recommendation.

Sure they are. What makes you think they’re not hollow?
You only need to slot them in the same area as the OEM bars.
BMW really cheaped out by not providing them with the slots already in place.

You can also put some nylon loom around the wiring to give it a bit of protection and cleaner look as well.

Take the extra time and route those cables through those bars.. The handlebars are hollow, get yourself a stepper drill bit and get'err done...

I misspoke saying they weren’t hollow, meant to say I don’t have the skills to drill holes without ripping up the bars. I know my limitations.
