Wow!! That looks amazing and good price!!

When it comes down to electrical, I find it intimidating! I like to keep things simple and just plug and play. Others in the forum will have to chime in. Also others have used the non-BMW auxiliary lights.

Easy on the Navy guys Marine😄. You guys can’t get anywhere to do your outstanding duties without our ships. I am definitely w you!! In fact, I worked in the airframe shop in 1970 and still manufacturing new parts. Please continue to share projects so I don’t have to reinvent the wheel. I...

Hey Jarhead! And I hope you take this as compliment coming from a swabby from the same Vietnam era. Thank you for your service. Did you make the bracket yourself to raise the fluid connections on the triple tree? Where did you get the 1” longer bolts? I maybe pushing it but I’m considering...

Hey JayB. I need to verify that the current position of the signal lights on the handle bar are not obscured by my windshield. This is for later project due to other more pressing projects. BMW has brackets to move the signal lights below the auxiliary lights using the same lights. If they...

Yes and this is my switch. I am ok w/o the label.

I was informed by two dealerships that I had to purchased the $644 multifunction switch for the auxiliary lights. I researched running a relay to have them on whenever the headlight is on. I also almost spliced into the headlight harness!! I was informed that the harness is directly connected...

it would be easier if you take the gas tank off completely but there was one major wire plug that was a challenge to disconnect. It’s located on the left side and snug towards the motor. I chose to raise the tank a few inches to get to the auxiliary lights plug which is located on the right...

I managed to plug and play the BMW auxiliary running lights on my 2022 R18 719. As much as I want to give credit to the outstanding dealership that provided excellent instructions, I don’t want to get them in trouble. I raised the gas tank just enough to locate the plug with matching wires for...

If you are asking about the sound before and after the servos. I have the fishtail sound with servos attached and sound with fishtail cut (rear opening three times larger) and servos still connected but flapper cables disconnected and flapper always opened. Unfortunately the 5 and 7 second...

Thanks you so much for responding not just to me but others as well. I traced the headlight wire harness to midway below the gas tank. The running lights harness also is long enough to end up below the tank. Definitely not long enough to reach the left grip switch. I would hate to splice...

Yes, it the auxiliary lights. I guess we can refer to it as the FE and not the classic, bagger, or transcontinental.

Thanks for responding Scott! I ordered and received the stock BMW running lights (two lights beside the headlight) for improved visibility. I also have the wiring harness that goes inside the bottom windshield bar. Thanks, Tony

To all the electrically savvy forum friends. Your input would be greatly appreciated. Currently my 2022 R18 719 dim headlight is on at all times when the bike is running. I am hearing that the running lights takes less than an amp to run. I want them on with the dim headlight 100% of the...

Thank you for responding. The weight of the cover indicates that it is not steel and it is NOT magnetic. If it was chromed steel, I wouldn’t have been able to hand sand the chrome plating off. I would’ve had to use a grinder. I am quite sure it was anodized. The only thing I wasn’t sure of...

Can someone confirm if the R18 head covers and front engine cover are aluminum. I attempted to repair what I thought was a metal ding on the right head cover. The metal itself was ok but the anodized coating was defective. Sanded the whole cover w 320, 600, 2500 grit and polished w aluminum...

I just installed the BMW medium windshield. The height (18-19”) is great to minimize the wind hitting my chest w/o having to look thru the windshield to see the road. Thanks for all the good info!!

Good morning Mr Nice Guy!! Got great ideas for iPhone mounts but I see two cool things on your bike!! Is that a BMW recommended helmet placement on your right grip? Is your windshield the medium size? I just returned the low because the wind was hitting my upper chest instead of the helmet...

Mike, BMW has some of the best engineering minds but can’t be perfect on everything! Your vent is still a teachable moment for some of us 😄

Another note: The inner wall of the fish tip is solidly welded to the outer wall. This can come apart by grinding about 1/8” along the edges. Keep in mind that the inner is in two pieces. The oval tube w holes is not welded in to slide back and forth w heat. The SS wool is tacked on and...
