Greetings
I have had my 1250 for a couple months and currently have added:
Yosh TRS slip on
Laminar touring lip
SW Motech side and rear racks with Givi E460/E21 bags

Overall I love the bike. My previous scoot was a V Strom 1000 and the Bandit suits me much better.

My only complaint thus far is the handlebars. I want to change them to somethig with more center rise and less end rise. Does anyone know the stock measurements for the bars. I tried to measure them but it is tough on the bike.

Other than that I will probably change the seat at some point and try a different windshield after I hear some real world feedback on the various offerings.

Hi mojokim! I'm wondering how you like the Laminar Touring Lip and where you go it?

I got it from laminar lips website. It is a huge improvement in wind protection. I no longer feel like I am going to get blown off the bike. The downside is wind noise. It's not bad with earplugs but without it is pretty loud. I would like to try a Givi or Ermax but I'd like to hear some reviews before I spend the dough.

I have just installed the Laminar Touring Lip on my 2007 1250S. I am very pleased with the wind protection, which now is directed to my helmet rather than my chest. The air stream is steady with no turbulence. I am 5' 10", ride with a full face helmet. I was concerned with with "glued on" attachment system but I had the bike up to 130 MPH for a few seconds and nothing came loose, so I am not concerned about the attachment issue. I typicaly cruise at 85 mph and at that speed the wind is not an issue. Also, I did not notice any more noise than with the stock screen, but then again, I use ear plugs.
