    Storing the scooter for 30 days

    Are you going to park it inside, or out? What's the weather going to be like? For a month you really shouldn't need to do anything. Cover it, fill the tank, put it on the center stand if you want but it should be fine. If you have a battery charger you might top it off before the first ride.

    An LED bulb that seals?

    There was plenty of space behind the headlamp bucket for the LEDS it was just a matter of covering it and accommodating the extra cable that was bothering me. I think that if the power consumption of the LED is close to that of the halogen, the lamp monitor will be satisfied.

    Larger windscreen for C650GT

    You might consider sending it back - maybe they made a manufacturing error, or their design doesn't account for some late-model design change by BMW. If you think reforming the screen will help, put it in your oven at about 250 degrees on a piece of cardboard and you'll be able to alter the...

    An LED bulb that seals?

    The dust (obviously) caps won't fit. I have a similar set on my workbench. Otherwise they will probably be ok. I don't know how big an issue getting dust/dirt inside the headlight bucket will be. I bought a pair of these...
