It works well! But the "bikini" front fender is a pain in the arse! Even the smallest wet spot on the road spatters the front of the bike with crud and that includes the GoPro.

A couple years ago I made a mount that places my GoPro camera below the headlight of my Indian Roadmaster. Having the camera centered, above the fender nets some really cool video, as the bike leans through the turns. It worked out so well that I NEEDED to make one for my R18. And the R18 has...

With the fasteners tightened, there should still always be a gap there.

Sorry. I should have been more clear... I was asking if you will be riding between the cars (splitting lanes in the USA) with the R18, because the cylinders stick out so far. When I was working in Geneva, all of the motorcycles would run up between the cars at every traffic light and sit at the...

Apparently we're not the only ones that scratch our heads over BMW's gear oil specifications. https://www.bmwsporttouring.com/topic/98309-70w-80-hypoid-axle-g3/

Officially, for BOTH, it's supposed to be SAE 70W-80 Hypoid G3. Now try to find that precise gear oil anyplace outside of a BMW dealer.

I knew a few riders who put hand shifters on their Indians. Not something I find interesting. Different strokes for different folks, I guess. I've never had a use for heel shifters since 1971, when my first motorcycle, a Bridgestone, had rotary shifting with toe & heel. My Road Star had one that...

Absolutely! It's a shame that it doesn't work with Indians too.

Will you be splitting lanes with the R18? Those big jugs are GNARLY!

I have a GS-911 USB on order and the first thing that I plan on doing is resetting service indicators and a "fault" indicator that's bitching about the lights, which are all operating properly. According to the web site, it does that and more. https://www.hexinnovate.com/hex-gs-911/ Amazon has...

It had to happen. Some of the posts may even be useful. Some are just plain incoherent.

In the USA each state sets the requirements for vehicle registration, safety or emissions inspection and/or insurance. But we don't have to carry it ON THE OUTSIDE of the bike. If a cop wants to see the documentation, we have to show it, but most of us carry it someplace secure and out of sight.

Mary Ann, but with Ginger as a standby. Lilly Munster or Natasha Addams?

You guys have to keep some sort of documents available on the outside of the bike? WTF?!

Egg in beer? Really?????

Cool! It's always good hearing from a rider who's got the "goods". And it sounds like some real engineering was used in the design of the fender. It seems to me that the last thing that should put to rest concerns of longevity would be if someone were to watch the fender's movement or lack...

The day after I ordered a GS-911 on Amazon for $400 they're posted for $300! It says there are 5 in stock. Those who want one should strike while the iron's hot!! https://www.amazon.com/GS-911-OBD-II-Enthusiast-Version-2017/dp/B0799CYBLL/ref=psdc_15707381_t2_B01MXDLAGN

The front engine cover is really cool looking as garage art. You should put some polished buttonhead screws on the mounting holes to finish it off. Hmmmm... I have a couple of Indian Thunder Stroke rocker covers in a box... Do you mind if I plagiarize your idea?

Hey Submariner & Boxerfan! If you guys make it to Wooly's R18 Demo Days in Marietta on Saturday, keep an eye out for a lady with purple hair, quite short in the back. Her name is Kerry and she's the BMW Motorrad Rep. for our area. Say Hi! She's very nice, quite knowledgeable and a serious rider...

I agree with you and TodkaVonic in so far as appearance. Those big heads and cylinders are sooooo pretty. But they're also very vulnerable if things go horizontal when they should stay vertical and vise versa. That's also why I went with the black bars. I'm thinking that they won't detract from...
