Hey what is power reserve?

 

[VARG]

power reserve, here's one story about the Rolls Royce implementation:

Rolls-Royce's Bizarre UI Decision: Replace Tachometer with Counterclockwise "Power Reserve" Gauge - Core77

Following the observation that Jaguar's resuscitated C-type has a tachometer needle that moves counterclockwise… …reader William Barton explained that the practice was standard operating procedure for old Jags: "Jaguars of the period ran the tachometer cable off of the rear of the engine...

BMW had to do something symmetrical with the dash. I would have preferred they told me battery voltage or oil temp but oh well.

Talking about leg rests, have you seen the Wunderlich ones?

 

[Kawasakidj]

Bought the OEM bmw black clutch/ front brake lever. Front/rear/clutch expansion tank covers in 2 tone black. 2 tone black bar ends. 2 tone black cylinder covers. Tft screen protector. Ripped the entire stock exhaust system off to be ceramic coated black. Installed Bren tune and dna stage 2 air filter. took most visible bolts off, acid washed them, and painted them with gloss black enamel paint. Order a 7 jurock windshield in black, 19 inches. Removed the reflectors that come on the rear bags and front lower fork legs. I’ll have pictures of everything soon.

Put the bags back on....

...Now I'm just waiting for the engine bars to arrive It's been 2 months but one of the last modifications has arrived!

Clearwater Dixi which is a Darla in the middle for a driving light then a spot light for night time riding on high beam which will come in handy up where I live. For those who have experience with other lights, I took photos to compare:

Any possibility of you posting more pics of the seat from the side view where I can see the springs and how they look with the full rear fender ?

Also how is the seat itself compared to the original set regarding comfort ? This single seat looks hard or not too cushy in appearance.

Please let me know....Thanks

Damn!!!!!!!!! That is one buncho illumination. Awesome. I love lights and the safety they provide.

Fir a ref point I found the darlas are good/ok for conspicuity. Helpful but don’t provide much for the driving experience.

Those outer LED’s yeowza. How many total lumins we talking here? I have tried Baja squadron pro lights (5000 lumins each) in my rRunner and they were too much to have on in the daytime even. And on the 701 I could not have anyone within 1/2 mile in front of me. Went back to squadron sports and was happier.

Not sure if any of this helps .
