I installed one on my CE04 scooter. I assume that all of the bikes that are capable of having an alarm as an option are pre-wired. Used the GS911 to program it.

For me, the Condor works well. My garage is smooth, but the driveway is stamped concrete, and the Condor rolls over it without issue. I also have the Kern, and I wouldn’t trust rolling it around on my driveway.

So what will replace your exhaust?

Great news!

You should just be able to stand the bike up straight and flick the clutch/brake until the air in the top hose bubbles out. Helibars has a video on that for their bars.

What did you wipe your tune if you’re out of warranty?

I installed these today, and I was quite surprised by how well they are made. Or maybe more surprised that they are not a total POS. I actually think they look good on the bike, which is another surprise. I would estimate that with the flaps and these deflectors, the buffeting is reduced by...

I looked at that. I have the first edition in Black Storm Metallic; these are listed as vivid black. I really don’t know what vivid black actually means, but I don’t want a paint mismatch either. Can’t tell from the pictures.

Yeah, I hear you. I’ve put a lot of money into this bike. Aside from the Dr. H&H exhaust, most of it is OEM, but I was curious about the quality of the non-OEM setup. If you ever decide to sell them separately, let me know. I’d like to see whether the reduction in buffeting is worth it compared...

Has anyone had the opportunity to compare the OEM leg shields vs. the made-in-China (or elsewhere) leg shields? The OEM shields are not only expensive (expected), but would also need to be painted. My concern is putting noticeably cheap or poorly painted parts on the bike.

I’m surprised BMW is still using plastic for these connectors. You would have thought they learned their lesson with all the other bikes where these have snapped.

I adjusted my valves a few weeks ago as part of the 12K service. Much quieter…

With my OEM deflectors, they make absolutely no difference as far as I can tell.

All BMW rally’s are adventure bike rally’s.

Wait, you bought an R18B because it was comfortable for two people? :LOL:
