    Bren Tuners: Let us hear what you think!

    It's totally worth doing the Brentune if for no other reason than to get rid of that annoying flat spot from 3K-4K rpm.

    I'm confused...which has the small rack?

    R18 TRIKE

    To each his own, but I think that R18 backwards trike is ugly as s**t. The lines between the gas tank and whatever all that sheet metal is about in front of it don't flow. The ass end looks like someone needs to change their diaper. To me the thing looks like someone bolted together a 1930's...

    Brentune completed!

    Tonight I did the initial Brentune and then went for about a 20 minute ride. Wow - big difference. That flat spot between 3K-4K RPM is gone and the motor accelerates as it should smoothly through the entire RPM band. The throttle response is night and day, especially when cruising and hitting...

    TC Radio annoyances

    Beats me. I just had it in for the 600 mile service last week. What version software is yours?

    TC Radio annoyances

    Some little issues with the Radio feature on the TC that drive me nuts: The radio does not remember the last source properly when you use the Favorites feature. For example, if the last channel used in Favorites was a SiriusXM channel, the next startup, it sets the Source to SiriusXM on that...

    Bren tune now or wait?

    Well I decided to just contact BT Moto. They said they will do a map that will work with both muffler setups just fine and to go ahead and do it. I just read the bike and sent in the file.

    Oil in exhaust

    That depends on the dealer and what they have in stock. With inventory low everywhere, loaner bikes are probably a bit hard to come by right now.

    Why are you selling the 20" 7Jurock and what are you using today?

    New leg rests installed, quite happy!

    Make sure to use blue loctite on the bolts so you don't lose them.

    POLL: OVERHEATING

    Apparently mine registered 330 degrees Fahrenheit both times.

    R18 Transcontinental or K1600 Grand America?

    I sold a K1600 GTL that I ride for 10 years (I got bike #2 from the dealer!) to buy the R18 TC. IMO it's an apples and oranges comparison. Personally, I am more comfortable on the TC, especially in the hands, wrists, arms, shoulders. On the K1600, I would have to take a break after riding for...

    Installed! DNA Air Filter with DNA Frame **Thoughts**

    I just put the DNA frame on (already had the DNA filter installed) and took the bike for a ride. I don't perceive any noticeable power band change, but the increased airflow absolutely makes the motor run smoother. I ride enough - even short errands - that I know how this motor feels and there...

    Bren tune now or wait?

    The TC just came back from the 600 mile service. I've got the DNA filter with frame and punched out the exhaust baffles. I've already purchased the Bren tune kit but have not used it, waiting until the break in service. I have Freedom Performance slip on mufflers on order. Do I wait for the...

    Are they going to do TC versions?

    Installed! DNA Air Filter with DNA Frame **Thoughts**

    When I first ordered the DNA, I didn't understand the cover frame because I couldn't make out how it was installed based on the pics. Also, I didn't see the chart above. After I put the filter in and could actually see how the cover went together, I wished I had ordered the frame - so I did...

    R18 TC with drilled out exhaust baffles video

    Post the video if you can remember, that sounds pretty funny.

    Vance & Hines Exhaust Mod: Removed Baffles

    Is there any type of baffle installed now to give it appropriate back pressure? Or is it just a straight-through pipe?

    R18 TC with drilled out exhaust baffles video

    Maybe if everything lines up just right but the odds aren't great. But for sure that will happen with all the metal particles - I certainly wouldn't worry about those.
