Wunderlich now offers a new competitor to Mustang's seats - padding seems to be between the Weekender and CC. Priced more like Corbin, though. https://www.wunderlichamerica.com/BMW-R18-Rider-Passenger-Seats

Likewise. No paper oil filters on my rides. I clean them approximately as instructed by K&P Engineering: 1) clean the magnet with a paper towel, 2) remove the oil with brake cleaner or carb cleaner, 3) 30 minutes in the ultrasonic cleaner with distilled water and some dish-washing liquid (ONLY...
Mostly (too much) paint and plating. Something wrong with that seat - the springs seem poorly aligned and the seat itself cheap. The fender profiles do not match each other, the deep headlight bucket might have worked if it had the gauges embedded in it and those bare forks appear to be...
Flovely. Is it the photo or is there a slight color difference between the saddlebags and the rest of the leather? I decided to install hard bags on mine. I have a (hard) trunk for it as well - I'll install that soon. How do you manage to keep the whitewalls on the rear wheel so pristinely...
That looks great. How do your wrists rate them?
I have typically had a love-hate affair with beach bars. I love how they look, but I hate them for the wrist fatigue they cause. I have recently installed a set of Klock-Werks prairie bars on my Chief Vintage, which removed part of the inherent...
These must be the nuttiest crash bars ever. Simply TOO low.

I appreciate that they are intended to protect our $1600-a-piece fishtails, but when (not if) you touch them down in a corner, you will have...
I need to add, though, that I regret removing the cat on my Chief Vintage - it cost me in low-rpm torque, and I have had to compensate by fitting more restrictive slip-ons since doing that. The 111/116 CI Indians feature a 2-into-1-into-2 header/exhaust, and the single cat is situated in a...
Agreed. Heat-reflective material works very well. I use Thermo-Tec on the bottoms of all my hard saddlebags and the undersides of V-twin fuel tanks. Also, on the inside of my 1190's exhaust-side pannier (photo below). But that is to dissipate heat from nearby exhausts, not for hot exhaust...
