Alternative Parts
The parts used by BMW are often generic parts which are also available from the original manufacturer at a lower cost. There are also a number of after market companies offering alternative parts.
This is intended to be a list of the alternatives. If you see additional alternative parts let us know and we can add them to the list here. The G650GS on-line fiche can have better descriptions of parts, especially electrical sockets
