    Information BMW is doing some Voodoo sh!t

    Traded the Bagger in on a TC. I put Memphis shades fork mounted lowers and the little fixed wind deflectors on the bagger to help with buffeting. I also have the KlockWerks windscreen. These modifications did a great job at reducing the buffeting and I was pleased with them. Fast forward to the...

    Need Help WTB - 2023 R18 Transcontinental Mineral White Option 719

    Picked Fat Elvis up yesterday, rode him 70 miles. Love, love ,love this bike! Collected the wife and took her out for a bit. She thoroughly enjoys the back seat on the TC. And the ride has to be because of its weight. Very smooth and soaks up bumps like a dream. I am impressed.

    What did you do to your R18 today?

    Long story short. Metal shavings when changing oil on the Bagger. Been at the dealer for 7 weeks. BMW is replacing the motor under warranty. Stopped in to tell them to remove the pin for the Kern-Stabi stand and was lamenting to the GM about the process and loosing my summer riding season. He...

    Raising height of stand?

    Need Help WTB - 2023 R18 Transcontinental Mineral White Option 719

    Changed the title of the thread. I am now looking for a Transcontinental. Went to Motorcycle of Dulles last weekend and they would not budge on price, so I walked. I am seeing new TCs online for as low as $15,000. I just have to have the 23 in Mineral White. Any help would be appreciated.

    Bad day

    It is actually really easy. #0000 steel wool and WD-40. Might take some time given the amount of plastic burnt on, but perseverance and it will come off. You don't have to rub hard, just many, many times.
