Which shade did you go for? Fancy the bronze myself. Or perhaps the light grey

Will it not cause you to have to look down and take your eyes off the road?

Best you don’t wrap your exhaust then. If you are going to ride around with concerns, not worth it for aesthetic's. 😊

I don’t think anyone is suggesting it as a top tip. Just something very naughty. 🤷‍♂️

Weirdly, the only other bike floating my boat right now is nothing like the R18, other than perhaps being just as quirky. Moto Guzzi V85TT

I was on the motorway with two friends on their GS type bikes. They were been blown round a bit in the cross wind and couldn’t believe I was quite comfortable with one handed riding. The bike was rock solid.

The Road King was brilliant for hands off riding

Glad to read it’s not just me. Which of us will come a cropper first I wonder. 😁

I didn’t pay anything like the price in the pic, but it was pretty pricey. If it had been made in Austria, Japan or USA, all of which are famous for working with Cordovan (Horse) leather I would have been over the moon.

Wow. Very nice. I bought the BMW Pure Boxer. Really nice leather but disappointed to see it was made in Vietnam and the stunning looking interior is not that hard wearing.

Looking at their website just now. I think their prices are creeping up. It has become my favourite jacket however.

I suspect those are in extremes. If the bike is not kept outside and the exhaust is first of all prepped with a high temperature silicone, it should be OK. The original purpose of wrapping manifolds was to keep the exhaust gases hot until they had escaped. I would be surprised Olof temperature...

I’ve seen it done on other R18’s. Thinking about it myself.

I have the Merlin wax cotton jacket in brown. Several times, it has been mistaken for a Belstaff. Nice fit, warm and waterproof. Good value too.

In UK, £200.00 is the going rate on EBay. Not too far away from the $300 quoted. Maybe make an offer.

Shirt works for me too.

All done. A trial fit when I get home. Followed all your measurements so fingers crossed. 50mm box section stainless with 3mm wall thickness. Holes drilled to take M12 so I have a couple of mm leeway.

I have some 50 mm stainless box section, 3mm wall thickness. Was hoping that would work.

Woke In your drawing, is the steel section sizing critical? If I was to use 50mm box section all round, would that be a problem for me?

In my experience, the tune makes the whole bike feel smoother and more responsive.
