Come to Aus, you or your mate can have my slightly used Commanders for free 😄

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

This is what I did to my hero pegs, gives way more lean angle.

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.

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...

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.

Is there a thread/topic just for tyres in this forum, I'd like to post my impression of my new tyres.

Will test the new rear today. The new front after a 30min test ride.

I have a standard R18, I run 40lbs in the front to try and make those horrible original tyres work a bit better, my bike only has 4,000ks on it and the front is just starting to 'cup'. I'm right now getting rid of the Commander III's, they are horrible, noisy, lack grip and have a horrible...

Grrrrr, the black beast. Enjoying it more the more I ride it.

They look great but I don't want to have to rob a bank to get a set 😵‍💫

I've ordered a new set of tyres for the beast, I've put 4,000ks on the the Commander III's and they are horrible (in my opinion) noisy, hard, poor shape and slippery. Have a set of Pirelli Night Dragons coming, will let you know what I think. Anyone else have the Pirellis on their 18?

Jesus H that's ridiculous!!

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.
