    Harley Davidson seeking new CEO

    I’d like to apply for the job. They had a bold vision just a handful of years ago that would bring a handful of brand new models to the floor, including the Bronx. These were to be based on the sportster S’s powerplant and lean into the younger segment. Somehow, that vision was completely...

    Bye bye, BMW

    Unfortunate for those owners, but looks like it’s 2018-2021 bikes. Crossing my fingers for smooth ownership with a 2024.

    Bye bye, BMW

    I'm in a pretty fortunate spot right now to be able to consider just about any bike out there. Even before the failure, I had a "want" list. I've run through the usual suspects: road glide, roadmaster, K1600 versions, etc. Watched who knows how many hours of youtube. For everything I want out of...

    Bye bye, BMW

    I gotta trust that this isn't a widespread issue at all. The bike came back from the reverse recall with some new chatter and whirring sounds. Took it 31 miles and it went kaput. I can't outright say the shop caused the problem, but I can't say it didn't either.

    R18 Crash Bar Options - 2025

    I went with roadstyler out of Poland. Did front and rear on my R18B. Solid parts. Shipping was costly, but I don’t think there’s a way around that anymore. Still was cheaper than OEM or wunderlich.

    Recall? On all models with Reverse

    Oh wow, that’s a nice perk. Seems like a lot of us feel like we have to hide the fact that we tuned should something with the engine go wrong.

    Bye bye, BMW

    Pretty pumped for it. Can’t find much in the way of criticism, and nothing that the aftermarket doesn’t solve. I really wanted a tour case cuz I feel like I carry a bunch of stuff all the time. This should give me plenty of room.

    Sold Kern-Stabi X518 - $200 plus shipping (USA)

    Direct from hornig. ~$20 a pop. Bought two. Paid $60 to get em shipped! Had made the mistake of forgetting to take the pin out before riding and it came loose and fell out. $100 error!

    Sold Kern-Stabi X518 - $200 plus shipping (USA)

    Just ran a quote to NC and was like $115. I’d wager we’d be at about $150 to Florida. Note that UPS told me it’d be $200 to send a seat and then ended up being like $90 for real. I’ll refund any shipping difference for anyone who grabs it and happens to overpay the actual cost.

    Recall? On all models with Reverse

    Sucks so bad that I sold the bike. Just can’t trust it after that. I’d hope it’s a fluke issue and nothing to worry about widely.

    Recall? On all models with Reverse

    Probably a smart move there. I was about to remap mine after getting it back after the recall fix. Good thing I didn't cuz the transmission gave up and I'd have been $200 poorer for nothin.

    Sold Kern-Stabi X518 - $200 plus shipping (USA)

    Offloaded my R18B, so no longer need this stand. Regular version (just front and rear lift, no side rollers). Great condition. I'll include 2 lock pins (comes with one out of the box new). ~$435 retail + shipping. I'll do $200 plus shipping. DM me with a zip code and I can run a shipping quote.

    Recall? On all models with Reverse

    Correct - you flash back to stock with the version saved on the handheld. BMW will update the ECU as part of the recall fix and then, yes, BT will need $200 to modify that update. Once you have the bike back, you'll need to go through BT's site to "buy" the update option. I believe the unit will...

    For Sale R18B / R18TC parts - OEM shield and case liner

    Anyone interested in the seats or shields, understand that shipping costs are insane. $200 for a seat to go 500 miles. $50-$70 for a shield. Wild times, folks.

    Helmet Lock

    Yeah, saw this as I’m getting a new bike and wanted another lock! Pretty bummed if closed means closed for good!

    Bike in safe mode

    How much work to swap back on the OEMs and see if the trouble clears?

    Bye bye, BMW

    Yep, so the dealer is sitting with it on a lift and it'll be who knows how long before it's road worthy again. I gotta think my situation was just a fluke. Really bummed, as the wing isn't a sexy bike by any means. But I'm pushing myself to embrace function above all with this one and hope...
