    New Windshield for R-18b/t

    Had the KlockWerks on my B before selling it. I am tallll, and the KW definitely calmed the air in comparison to the stock shield. Still had some kind of “eye shaking buffeting” happen at higher speeds, but at like 60 and below, it’s pretty good at tossing the air over the head, even for a tall...

    (not so) Brief review of the "Medium Bag 27L"

    this is kind of how the saddleman bag mount works, so I’d guess this would be good. If you already own the bag, this is probably a good way to mount it to the seat. If you don’t own the bag, buy something else.

    Anybody using the BMW Rear Bag Black 27L?

    I've since sold the bag and the bike, but the bag comes with 4 straps with looped ends. On my B, I lashed the two rear straps around the saddle bag brackets and then the front two I had looped through my rear crash guards. Assuming you can find similar tie-down points on anything except the...

    Reverse recall question??

    The recall is due to a concern about the ingress of water into the reverse module and onto the wiring that may, over time corrode connections resulting in failure.

    BrenTune BT Moto Stage 1 Handheld Tuner

    Pretty sure it doesn’t marry to the bike until you run the initial setup. So, if unused, he should be okay to unload it and someone can get a nice discount.

    BrenTune BT Moto Stage 1 Handheld Tuner

    Has it been used with your bike? If yes, you’ll need to make sure you tuned back to stock before shipping it out. From there, it’ll cost the buyer $300 to reassign the unit to their bike. Might want to adjust your price to reflect this buyer obligation if you’ve previously used the unit.

    What a day! - transmission done for
