    Helmet suggestions

    I've had modular Shoei Neotec helmets for years. Now with Neotec 3, just excellent equipment for comfort, noise protection and safety. And the only I can find with XXL size (64cm ...) :ROFLMAO: I'll never go back from modular.

    Haven't even seen it in flesh so far. My friend Paul will pick it up in NYC to his place in Anapolis were the bike will be kept. I'll add a rack and a top case that are currently on mine in France for more cargo room.

    I've added one bike to the fleet !

    Since I plan to make road trips in US, I had to have a bike there... So I bought one. Not a R18, but a R1200c Montauk, Same year, same options, but very few mileage, than the one I have in France. Very nice bike, and moreover, pretty cheap. I've already ordered a new windshield from...

    Looking for feedback on front fender swap out.

    I bought this plastic fender intended to a HD Fat Boy. I had to make adapting plates and had it painted to match. Happy with the result, particularly since I swapped the front wheel to a 16' . The pics are showing the 16 &19' wheels. The fat tire fills the fender much better.

    Front Wheel Noise

    I had the noise since new, then very loud, when the Michelin commado was almost worn. Then I swapped to the 16' wheel (one from a Classic) instead of the 18', with a new "fat" Michelin Commando. No noise anymore. The culprit is the 18' tire.

    Reverse - Dealer Programming

    Had it done + Update. No trouble. It seems they had to remove the gears levers, because I had to re-adjust them when back home.

    The previous appointment, I had to cancel it, was 1 hour only. It was 3 weeks ago.

    Reverse - Dealer Programming

    My appointment also includes overnight stay for soft update. They gave me no details, but they never do ... Except for the first one about the "whining" fuel pump. I think it's more than the reverse concern. We don't know either what they are doing when Windows updates. I have no concern about...
