A cool place for parts from Germany
I got parts for my 2001 GS conversion to a super street motard.
It appears as they are now doing all of the different models. Boxer-Design | Individuelles BMW Motorradzubehör und exklusive Motorräder

Agree they have lots of cool stuff, but if just wanting to convert to 17/17 wheels on a GS, I know Mark Parnes (the balancer guy) has done several, and could hook you up with all the needed spacers etc. You would just need to find wheels.

I have a set of 17" wheels on my 06 GS. Mark Parnes was very helpful and kind answering all my questions.
I bought them from a Pelican member. I kept the stock ones with knobby tires.

Mark Parnes is a good guy. He deserves the business.

It's good to support those that try and support the small BMW community.

However, if you can, I would support local companies. I can't, so my stuff comes from all over the world.  Mostly Germany though, lots of choice and easy to do business with (for me).
