As above, made by Pirate's Lair in the USA, with full installation instructions.

Bought as part of a package - I wanted the other bit!

Will throw in a "carbon look" fender extender marked K1200 >05 that I bought here; it does not fit Slant K12/13, so I presume it is for the Brick K12 (i.e. K12<05).

£20 posted.

I have the older (grey) CANBUS charger (71607688864). Has worked fine for years on my K1300GT via the Hella socket near the gear lever.



I have just used the Accessory Socket by the headstock to wire-in a relay to a cigarette lighter socket, to power my satnav, using pins 1 and 3. All works fine.

The charger won't have it! I get the Red error light on the charger.

What happens - turn bike on, then off, wait c.60 seconds. I hear the relay drop-out when the Accessory socket shuts-down, then the charger shows "Error".

If I disconnect the plug (that feeds the relay switch) from the accessory socket, all is well.

I know the simple solution is to connect the charger to the battery, but I like the existing set-up.

Any ideas?

I'm fairly sure I got this document here (because the Properties say the author is our own slparry!) but I cannot find it here any more.

This may turn into a rant.....

My K1300GT had the dreaded switchgear failure last week - no starter button! Managed to bump-start it (I was on a hill!) and get home OK (from that there London).

Rang Wollaston; "bring it in and we'll check it on the diagnostic and put in a goodwill claim". Part is £150, £20 labour to replace. So far, so good.

I then mention I have Extended Warranty - "that's great - you'll only pay £100 excess then".

I ask - "but if I DIDN'T have EW, I'd get some goodwill and my cost might be less than £100".

"Yes, but you have EW so that won't happen".

Am I missing something here - non-loyal, non-EW customers might get more help than me?

(BTW - anyone know what the current status is on switchgear failure repair? IIRC free replacement was available at one time)


The same happened when my rear wheel bearing went at 10K miles (£370!) - I tried to argue that it should not cost me a penny (non-serviceable item, not merchantable quality etc.) and got told how lucky I was to have EW and "only" pay £100. If I was a BMW car owner, I would not expect to pay a penny for a wheel bearing at 10K miles.

I was so lucky the rear wheel bearing failure was diagnosed when they replaced the rear disk carrier in the recall - so they got paid twice.


Note to self - why am I a loyal customer of this brand?

And breathe......

Bought a job-lot of parts and these are not required.
