    Exhaust Modified

    Everyone who drives has had the experience of having a loud bike or car come by you and startle you because you don’t hear it until it passes you. Most 2 vehicle motorcycle accidents are from a car turning left in front of you. That car will not hear your loud bike unless you have your exhaust...

    Help with seating.

    I’m 73 and I’ve been riding for 61 years. Here are my observations about seat comfort. Every seat takes a certain number of hours to break in and they’re more comfortable after a proper breaking in. The Homage single on my R18 probably took the longest to break in until it was comfortable. Some...

    Can Am Electric

    I never pass up the chance to ride something I’ve never ridden. Every new experience gives me a broader perspective and has really helped me define what I like and what I don’t, and why. Rigid frame Harley with extended springer and hand shifter? Glad I had it, wouldn’t want to ride it now. The...

    Can Am Electric

    I haven’t ridden the electric version but the IC version is great fun after a little time to get used to it.

    Headlight fairing vs chrome RE visor-

    I have that fairing on mine. It is minimalistic but does move the wind blast up off your chest. A little helmet buffeting but not bad. I like it, the looks and function.

    Corbin seat is taking forever.

    Corbin has a cool service if you pick up the seat at the factory with your bike. They’ll put a temporary cover on it and you ride your bike around and then they trim and adjust the foam to whatever your preference is after riding it.

    Iconic Pictures with R18

    I like them a lot. Love the look, the sound, everything. I kept the stock headers, cat, etc. They worked fine, no error codes, etc., no ecu changes.

    Just installed a lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) battery

    I have always used Shorai, and had no problems.

    Just installed a lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) battery

    I’ve used Shorai LiFePo batteries in 4 different bikes now, just replaced the glass mat stock one in my R18 with a Shorai. Never a problem, not one, zero, lasts much much longer, doesn’t self discharge when the bike sits, lighter, stronger, just better in every way. A good charger with a LiFePo...

    Reverse

    Yeah, when you find something that works for you, stick with it. Dont fix it if it ain’t broke.

    Reverse

    Lithium IRON Phosphate - different from lithium ion. They’re smaller, much lighter (2 lbs instead of 10), no maintenance, self discharge at extremely low rate, aren’t effected by motorcycle vibration (like lead and glass mat batteries), don’t heat up and burst into flames (like lithium ion)...
