    Engine Engraved Plate

    I used a gentleman named Klaus who is also n Facebook. I am very happy with his work.

    Removing tank badges

    The stuff I use is citrus based and won’t harm painted surfaces. I’ve been using it for years without a single issue.

    Removing tank badges

    I’ll soak them with Goo Gone before I attempt to remove them.

    Removing tank badges

    I watched that video and I can tell you mine are attached much more securely than what he shows. I attempted using the same nylon pry tool and they didn’t budge.

    My fishtail exhaust project

    You can leave the catalyst and flapper (fin?) by leaving the headpipes intact. The mufflers are a simple removal and you can modify or replace them without any emissions concerns.

    Removing tank badges

    Can anyone tell me how they went about removing the tank badges? Mine seem to be attached pretty securely.

    What did you do to your R18 today?

    I installed the new front fender. My two year journey is complete and the R18 is a finished project.

    Dent in Fishtail

    You’ll never pull a dent out of one of those mufflers. The metal is far too thick. I’d start keeping an eye on eBay for a replacement. There are plenty of takeoffs out there. I know a guy that had two sets with zero miles on them.

    Major Engine Management fault on R18 T at 18 months and < 5000 miles

    I took one look at the uncovered fuse box on my R18 and said to myself WTF? It seemed to me that electrical component corrosion is only a matter of time on these bikes.

    Dyna beads

    Do you have any pictures of this supposed damage? Because it sounds like someone who doesn’t want to deal with the hassle and potential mess from mounting and dismounting tires with beads.

    Dyna beads

    I have been using the beads in all of my bikes for over thirty years now. I have read all the negative comments and I don’t buy any of them. My tire life is exceptional, my wheels are not scarred by weights and they never go out of balance.

    Custom emblems

    I’m going to powder coat these as well. I’m just waiting for the third emblem for the breastplate to arrive.

    Custom emblems

    I ordered those titanium emblems and they were unable to produce them. They offered aluminum, brass and titanium. I ended up getting chrome plated steel. Not at all what I expected.

    Site having issues posting photos

    I have always clicked on the image icon on the top of post and that also takes you to the photo library. I have done it the same way here and elsewhere forever. Only recently had this issue cropped up. I attached the image below using your way.

    Software updates

    Remember this is the same company that sold you a bike without making a service manual available and pioneered subscription fees for heated seats in their autos. Feel free to believe whatever BS they shovel your way.

    What did you do to your R18 today?

    I was running sans fender using a fork brace while I searched for a fender. I settled on a KlockWerks fender that is designed for an Indian Scout. It’s nice thick steel so I can mount it tight without working about a stone denting from the underside. It also wraps low on the rear to protect...
