September 2005 
Here the new bike, a BMW, especially for our world tour - isn't it nice...
BMW F 650 GS Dakar
0 Km - registration date 11/03
with ABS and heated grips
February 2006 - The second bike!
After a long discussion and a lot of pros and cons I decided to buy the same bike and not the KTM 640 Adventure - so I only have to think about spare parts and tools for one model 
BMW F 650 GS Dakar
2800 Km - registration date 09/03
with ABS and heated grips
March 2006 - beginning of modifications
Saturday March 11th mounting the centre stand
and carrier and panniers
First test mounting of the tanks of course without fuel. I do it completely after painting the tanks
taking off the tail
I wanted to show the fitting completely, but I was working so hard so I forgot to take the pictures
And now - finished
as Anja wanted to have it 
Fork springs and shock absorber with hydraulic preload adjustment sponsored by Wilbers GmbH 
Lowering ride height (Anja) 2cm
Tool box under engine guard
Thanks to Ela's dad and of course Jörg for the wonderful boxes 
Side stand lengthened
Thanks to Uli who has lengthened the sidestands - so the bikes can stand safely even completely packed
Mudguard (Touratech)
I don't want to have dirty feet
Ralley footpegs (Touratech) and collapsible gear shifter (Touratech)
More space for your feet, especially with the bigger tank and of course, I hope the shifter won't break
Raisers 3cm (Touratech)
More comfortable and handlebar and enough space between tank and handlebar
Chain guard (Touratech)
Just for my eye 
- the original one is really ugly 
Luggage rack (Touratech)
Mounting any luggage on the original one is nearly impossible 
Tank bag (Touratech)
After our last trip Anja wasn't very happy with it.. The space between steering head and triple tree is very narrow and so it is tricky to mount the hooks and you can't use the map case on its own 
. But you needn't fold the maps because it's really big (DIN 4).
Hattech slip on
You don't get unleaded fuel everywhere, what a wonderful excuse for a nice sound 
Chain oiling system (CLS)
electronical chain lube system, so I needn't care about our chains every day.
4 bags additional to panniers
Tool box rear
