At dealer in Atlanta, GA USA and paying $983 for 12k service. I did the 600 and 6k myself but am in between living arrangements and had dealer do it. 5 hours of labor at $150hr for reference. I will hang the receipt up on garage wall for later reference to motivate me for why I always do my...

Took a step on the darkside today. 185/60/16 for $50!

You have the other end of those holes on your bagger, its the metal braces the panniers mount to. To measure that, remove both panniers and measure the distance using the threaded female ends you didnt use for mounting the panniers.

Agree to both points. On rides, I stop frequently and am more vulnerable as I cant just sit in the car, so I sit on the curb or on a nearby bench. Someone almost every stop strikes up a conversation that I wouldnt have had if I had driven by car. Each time its some connection point, the state...

or 180/60/16 but they seem less common. I'll report back once I have whatever size car tire mounted in the back.

Trying it soon in a 185/55/16. Anyone tried it yet?

Anyone installed one on a R18B or TC yet and can share how they plumbed the line into the tank?

All good discussion, thats the purpose of sharing what I did. I benefit from reading about your ideas.

Someone will offer a nice top plate that bolts up to the tc rack.

Rode it to f3nation workout and was able to quickly store my riding gear. Ugly top cases rock at 530am!

Is your headlight the standard or optional adaptive one?

Good idea, I am familiar with what AC did, I dislike the oem case (size, looks). This is for practicality more than looks and wont usually be on the bike. This removes without tools in a second vs unbolting. I may get a stickerless black one someday though. Until then this is commuter R18B...

I bought the rack used ($134 shipped from UK), a $15 cutting board and $40 altrider givi hardware. I prefer the no topcase look but this is my "car" and I have a few regular needs for more storage. The case comes off quickly and the rack alone still looks baggerlike. Super strong and I am...
