I only stated the non-pull factor to counter what someone else had reckoned. Yes, many bikes have single rotors.
Handguards are standard on 1200GS and GSA. I was quoted £135 (fitted price) for the large 650/800 handguard set. Engine bars would be £280 fitted, aluminium bash plate £171.
Metal Mule say they will be able to provide 650/800 pannier frames (229.99) and top box support (£91.99) in about 7-10 days. They had a loaner bike to create the jig and are now waiting for their own. They are also intending to market bash plate, radiator guard, reservoir guard, etc.
I briefly looked at the panniers and there seemed quite a difference from the 1200 varios. I've seen a pic of the 1200GSA aluminium panniers on the 800 and certainly Touratech and SW Motech are gearing up to provide.
