I made that change recently and although I don’t have a decibel meter I didn’t need one. The sound from the Clarton was very obviously much louder than the stock one. Why yours wasn’t I couldn’t say, but the difference on mine is very obvious.

When I bought my homage seat 1 1/2 years ago it wasn’t available so I searched online for one for sale and found one for sale in stock at a dealership in another state. Worth the trouble though.

ST2 brakelight module, activates brakelight when you decelerate by engine braking or downshifting without using brakes. Supposed to work with R18 but I couldn’t figure out the wiring so I never hooked it up. Cost $90, sell for $50.

I’m in

Good luck, hope it works out

Well, at least they’re replacing it. I hope it’s only batteries you have such bad luck with, that’s some bad battery juju.

LiFePo4 BMS failures are usually caused by overcharging. (Less often undercharging or operating in extreme temperatures) Did you try resetting the BMS (sometimes works)? If that doesn’t work You can replace a BMS much cheaper than replacing a battery.

Wow, you must have extremely bad luck. I’ve had 3 Shorais and each one has lasted over 10 years. I hope you find something that works for you.

I was addressing your statement that lithium batteries are at the bottom of the reliability list. All 3 of your BOS failures on lithium ion batteries? LiFePo4 batteries do not have a high failure rate for the BOS or any other component, you must just be very unlucky.

Some info on reliability of LiFePo4 batteries:

There is a big difference between lithium ion and lithium IRON batteries. Lithium iron are smaller, much lighter (Under 2 lbs vs 10), self-discharge at a very low rate, are not affected by the vibration of a bike, do not overheat like lithium ion, and last forever. I’ve used Shorai batteries in...

Being a rider for 60 years I have ridden and owned many bikes. I have absolutely loved many of them, and others not so much. There is so much right about my R18, and so little not right, that it is maybe my favorite bike overall. Of course, no bike meets “the best” criteria for every rider but...

Try the Clarton horn, much louder, very easy to install, readily available, and only @ $25

I did this Clarton horn replacement today, took less than 10 minutes and it fit perfectly. I pointed the horn between forward and down, at about a 45 degree angle so it would face as forward as possible and still drain any water easily. The difference in tone and volume was AMAZING! Best $30...

I don’t think they’re available in any other finish. When they touch depends to some degree on the angle you mount them.
