Haha, I get how the math works my friend. That’s exactly why I’m asking about shorter options. I know standard beach bars mean extending lines and wires, which is the whole reason I want to avoid them. Just wondering if anyone’s found a shorter tracker or lower bar that gives a similar look...
Hey awesome people! I’m just gonna say it: I CANNOT stand the stock First Edition handlebar.
I want them gone, but I’m looking for a total plug-and-play miracle. I just want to unbolt the stock bar, slap all my factory gear (grips, switches, reservoirs, mirrors) onto a new one, and ride off...
By the plastic, do you mean that whole acrylic layer that covers the entire badge? It looks like it's fused onto it, not something you can just peel off. Did you actually take off that acrylic or resin layer that covers it and makes it concave?
Hey @HUNTS , how are you doing, buddy?
I installed the aluminum protectors on the cylinders and the long one for the front of the engine. By the way, those protectors you recommended look amazing!
The only thing I didn't really like are the BMW emblems I bought. Instead of being flat aluminum...
Hey Mike! Today I actually removed the peg bracket bolts on the shifter side with zero issues, so you’ll probably be totally fine too.
What I did was use a heat gun on HI for 5 minutes per bolt. I used a reducer nozzle to focus all the heat right on the bolt head. Right after heating it, I...
"IT WORKED!!!!!! This tool is an absolute miracle! Hey @bdalameda, thank you so much for the advice, man. In my country, we have a slang word for a project that gets horribly complicated, goes back and forth, and seems to have no way out—we call it a 'cangrejo' (a crab). You, my friend, are...
Hey everyone,
Just need to vent a little bit and see if anyone else has dealt with this absolute nightmare. I’m trying to swap my stock footpegs for floorboards, and what should've been an easy weekend project turned into a massive headache. Honestly, if I knew it was going to be this bad, I...
Hey everyone! Finally!!!! 🙌
I promised I’d give you all an update and share some pictures once I got everything settled in, so here it is! Huge shoutout to everyone who helped, especially @bdalameda.
Here is how the final setup looks:
The Two Jacks: I bought two Black Widow steel motorcycle...
What do you think about this? @KevinQ posted this: "I went from floorboards to pegs on my 22 classic. Kickstand size doesn't really change...there is a boss/rubber bumper near the foot of the kickstand that isn't shared between the peg and floorboard models. The only difference between peg...
Thanks for the heads-up, @Star-Lord! I appreciate you sharing your experience from your First Edition Bobber project. From what I’ve been reading online (but I’m definitely going to follow what you guys tell me in the end), it seems like the kickstand arm itself might be the same across models...
Hi @Star-Lord. That's exactly the plan! I'm swapping the stock pegs on my First Edition for the complete Roland Sands floorboard and control kit. I already got the OEM BMW Classic base mounts and the complete hardware pack (springs, pins, bolts), so I'm fully ready to go! Right now, I'm just...
