    Chrome plate under tank

    That’s the look. I was advised by a friend to use Car-Rep 2k epoxy, he said it’s mega in satin. I believe you can just use on its own once you properly prep the chrome but I’m using the 2k epoxy primer as well. All the small chrome bits will get the treatment, although I have some RSD for some...

    18” 21” conversion

    How all, I did drop this on another thread but an old ld one so i thought id start afresh. I’ve been geeking (as you do) and I was looking at the BM vid , Nordic style’ I like this as it’s one of the few that isn’t ‘bobbered’ and I don’t want to bobber mine, but do want 21-18 conversion. Has...

    19” to 21” front wheel conversion

    Hi All, id love to know the step by step on this. You can get the Roland Sands 21 half price in Europe but don’t know what else is required/ what changes need to be made. If you leave the fork height it will take the fron (not what I’d want) or do you drop the forks through the clamps? Lifting...

    Another handlebar !

    you are of course correct but I really wanted to run the wiring internally (otherwise id have got some Renthals or similar. Ive actually ordered from FCR (thanks Star Lord) as i got in touch and they have looked after me, still spendy but allows internal routing and they look quality. Need some...

    Another handlebar !

    Hello all, ive had my first 500 miles and what an amazing and immersive experience. You have to do it to understand I realise. Now that I’m used to it, I need to bling it of course but also ergonomics. I’m looking at the drag bars (although I can’t find any in stock in Europe) as I’d like to be...

    First cruiser

    Thanks for the welcome. Ive only completed 300 miles so far but no R18s either. I haven't been to any bike gatherings in those miles though. Im in S Manchester so Leek, Buxton etc. are on my doorstep. Great roads but the pegs are suffering! if you plan to go to any meets then drop me a message ...

    Zard system fitting issues due to reverse gear recall mod

    anyway to squeeze money out of us. in the UK Zards were available from main dealers so would hope this wouldnt be an issue

    Zard system fitting issues due to reverse gear recall mod

    If i bend it up the exhaust will be touching it and that would transfer high temp through to the resistor. Im going to attempt to move. But this will affect all Zard full system users once they have the recall work. Be interesting to know what BMW will do when they supplied the Zard exhaust?

    Zard system fitting issues due to reverse gear recall mod

    thats exactly what it is! thanks Star-lord. i wonder what they have done that requires such a substantial , additional electric module? Although it now leaves me with a difficult issue to solve, i somehow need to remove the bracket to lift this box up, cant see where id locate it but maybe i...
