    Recall? On all models with Reverse

    Key point is if you don’t use the reverse gear, then the risk of fire is not there and that’s the whole point of the recall. But outside of that, the fix is already available. You might be able to get it through mail even with the sanctions through South Africa maybe…just a thought for a fellow...

    Wind deflector removal on R18TC

    Thanks for sharing the disassembled pics. I have a project to add some escort strobes and was thinking if mostly hollow, I could purpose these for mounting some LEDs. Looks like another over engineered German design, especially for just a wind and leg deflector.

    Down Under rider

    Welcome. I use to to ride a 1200RT and put 110k on it. Then I saw the R18TC FE and just fell in love with it. Four years later, she has safely delivered me across the US four times and 21 US states. The center of gravity although lower, rides like the RTs.

Had it towed 200 miles to the closest eastbound dealer, and they found the clutch sensors would not read at 70 & 100%. The answer, air got into...

    Should have posted here earlier, but here I am in Hampshire, UK

    Congrats and welcome. As for the seat, I started with a water filled seat pad for a year but that didn’t extend the seat time by much more than 2 hours. I then converted to a Corbin custom seat and no looking back at that purchase, comfortable at 3+ hours which works well on long journeys to...
