Thanks! .. when you happen to have the interface connected ... do have a look please if you have the radio button for the Aux lights checked ...

View attachment 15263

And if the turn signals (cruising function) turn off when you don't have that checked (disabled) ... if you could ... no rush and no 'must' ... I am just very curios if it has something to do with my bike or if there is a glitch in the coding ;)

This appears to be the same case for both the Model B and the First Edition; the front directional lights will only come on in cruise mode if I enable the Auxiliary Lights Fog radio button.

I'm now trying to figure out how to reduce the intensity of the front directional lights when in cruise mode - no matter how small or big of a percentage change I make on the GS-911, I don't see a change or can get to a dimmed look...
 
Whilst Storm Ashley does it's thing here in in the UK, I took 5 minutes garage time to fit my 100th Anniversary badges…

Ty some ridicules low number like 5% or so and see if that does something ... oh ... and there is a second place in the 'Coding' section that also has percentages ... maybe that one will do the trick.
 
What was the cost of the ROCTANE headlight assembly?

Were you able to drop your original speedometer into the headlight assembly, or did you have to replace the speedometer?

Do the handlebars have holes in them to accommodate the electrical wiring to be routed, or do you have to live with them being wired-tied to the hydraulic lines?

Can the Auxiliary Lights be mounted back down on the front forks, or does the new headlight interfere with that mounting configuration?

Collected the parts whilst in Germany €650 ( no postage).
Yes ( Speedo).
Connections from rear of existing headlight plug into Roctane headlight. No change.
No idea - probably can be mounted with necessary hardware.

Looking good Scott. The 719 does add a touch of class 😉👍

PS. I like the mirrors. They are on my list to the North Pole since I have been a good boy this year.

I'm always weary of adding these little upgrades on the First Edition Model B, as the bike has always struck a nice balance of chrome straight off the showroom floor as a stock bike.

So far, the mirrors and the machined RSD reservoir covers are installed on the bike; the recently purchased RSD machined hand levers are still in an unopened box, this is mostly because of my apprehension with those same levers installed on the First Edition project bike..

The flip-flop of Black & Chrome of the First Edition models work well... The RSD machined parts compliment the Black & Chrome look.
 
Not exactly today, but I just finished this customisation of R18 Bagger 1st edition to almost full dechrom - jet black panels + matte black exhaust. Total price was less than 5k€ with VAT including full demontage and montage. If someone is interested, hit me up - i can get it to you for the same price or even cheaper. Also possible to do just parts in specific colours, not only black.

Price of origo parts to do the same is somewhere around 10-12k€ + work (calculated around 5k€ by BMW Dealer)

Straight through pipe ; no cats / baffle. Removed cat and valve section from OE exhaust ( cut ). Then used original header section and had fabricator weld in new section of pipe.
