    Very nice write-up. Can you post a video behind the bike so we can hear the exhaust?

    I did that on my Freedom Performance mufflers, and have done the same with V&H mufflers on one of my Harleys years past. It made a big difference in tone on the R18 Freedom Performance exhaust. It's a little louder, too. My wife prefers it, if that counts :)

    Transcontinental Software Version

    I recently had mine updated; it had been on the original version that shipped when I bought the bike last year. The service manager told me that it takes about 4 hours to do the upgrade, mainly because the data transfer speed for the TFT is so damn slow. Worse, when they did mine, the update...

    DNA Filter Question

    Easy installation. Totally worth it. Brentune makes it even better.

    Air cooled engine worries.

    Noone knows. I had this happen to me twice, but not since. You probably need to change the oil now if it got cooked.

    Freedom 4.5" Exhaust

    1. You don't get the privilege of telling me why I bought anything, so F* off on that front. 2. Other than yelp reviews which can be easily manipulated, give us some actual sources for your claims. 3. You don't "work for BMW Motorrad" if your company group also has Harley dealerships. More than...

    Freedom 4.5" Exhaust

    Why do you feel they are junk? Mine are very nice quality. Did you get a set with something wrong?

    Brentuning Complete: My experience doing so...

    Go back and look at the dyno sheet in the 3k-4k rpm range. The increase there is a lot more than 4 HP and TQ right in the range where it is needed. Just getting rid of that annoying dip in performance in that rpm range was worth the cost to me.

    BT-Moto Bren Tune after factory software update - great service

    I had to take my TC in for some minor warranty work and wanted to get the software updated while there as mine was many revisions back. I followed the BT-Moto instructions and put the ECU back to stock before taking it in. The BT-Moto instructions for updating after a factory software update...

    Cover for Transcontinental

    I bought and used a Nelson Rigg Defender Extreme cover for mine for months in the worst weather this area has seen in 20+ years. I was going through a home remodel and had to park the bike in the driveway while the garage was filled with stuff. This cover protected my bike through severe wind...

    That's why they invented YouTube.

    Exhaust flapper mod and dilemma over part numbers

    My dealer sells the servo buddies and removed the entire servos at my request - they said they do this all the time.

    TC with Freedom Performance 4.5" exhaust no baffles video

    I didn't take pictures of the whole thing disassembled, but I can post pics of just the baffles if you want? To get the end caps off, you have to loosen the chrome cover that is just in front of it. There's just an O ring that holds it in place. Two allen screws hold the end cap in place...

    R18 TC with drilled out exhaust baffles video

    I didn't even wait for the 600 mile service, lol.

    TC with Freedom Performance 4.5" exhaust no baffles video

    Last weekend I decided to do a little experiment to see what the Freedom Performance exhaust sounds like without the baffle. It was really tough to get the end caps off, which is what holds the baffle in, but I got it done. Here's a short clip of the sound; let me know what you think! My...

    R18 TC with drilled out exhaust baffles video

    What do you think about the sound of the revised exhaust?

    R18 TC with drilled out exhaust baffles video

    I measured the inside diameter of the muffler to determine the hole saw size. I recall that i thought 1.5" was slightly too big and would hit the side of the outside baffle. But take your own measurement and let us know what you think

    R18 TC with drilled out exhaust baffles video

    1.5" is a possibility but it will be very tight.
