    Yes they do, that's why I went for the Dragons, the Cruisetecs were not available and also an extra $100 per tyre.

    Updated rear shock

    Yep, best place for them. I can't believe BMW thought it was ok to fit a complete crapper of a shock on a heavy bike.

    New Tire recommendations

    Hi all, From the word go I was not happy with the Commander III's, hard compound, noisy, terrible in slippery conditions and they have a terrible profile - especially the rear, the rear being so flat on the bottom requires a lot of input at the bars to pitch it into corners. I ran high...

    Updated rear shock

    My 2024 standard bike recently had the shock replaced under warranty, we can only assume it was replaced with the upgraded version as it would make no sense to keep the old version in stock. I can't say that I can feel any difference with the new one.

    I put a small screen on mine already and only looking at other options at this stage. Bike is going well, enjoying cruising and on it. Still waiting on the replacement rear shock under warranty.
