Word has rapidly spread amongst the criminal classes about how easy it is to remove the expensive TFT displays from BMW R1250 GS and GS Adventure models. No tools are needed – a quick tug in the right direction will overcome the three snap rings used to secure the device, leaving the owner stranded. To slow thieves down, and hopefully cause them to move on to easier targets, Wunderlich has developed an anti-theft protection frame that screws into place. It’s made from black powdercoated stainless steel and fits across the 6.5in display without affecting visibility. Unfortunately BMW has not really learned from experience, and the TFT screen of the new R1300 GS (and presumably the recently-launched Adventure version) is similarly vulnerable, so Wunderlich’s made a frame for that too. Both models have an SRP of €59.90.
