    SOLD - BMW Motorrad R18 side bag

    Not the exact bag but this will give you an idea of where it mounts on the bike.

    Knee replacement

    I’ve had both done 13 years apart. Just do all the rehab and build up your strength. You’ll be fine, I ride every type of bike imaginable and I’m very comfortable.

    R18 B Brake Fluid Flush Instructions?

    A Miti-Vac, little bit of plastic sheet and a towel is quite a bit cheaper than what the BMW dealers charge.

    BMW R18 battery

    I never got an explanation from Shorai on what failed. But it exhibited the exact same characteristics as the failed Noco lithiums.

    R18 B Brake Fluid Flush Instructions?

    The angle that you set the bars in the risers will also come into play.

    Front signal wiring

    The stock turn signals are not running lights so they will only use two of the wires on your lights.

    Anyone else have issues with unread alerts now showing up with a blue background, black text?

    I prefer the lighter background in place today over the black background. The Indian Motorcycle forum uses the black background and I find it difficult to read.

    Anyone else have issues with unread alerts now showing up with a blue background, black text?

    It’s interesting that these color changes on forums, Verticlescope or not changed at the same time. Since most of these forums look and act pretty much the same, I’m guessing they use the same software vendor.

    R18B changing tires from Michelin Commander 3 to Metzeler Cruisetec

    If it was manufactured in Brazil they should warranty it for you.

    What’s going on with BMW Motorrad R18 accessories in the UK?

    Only about half of the RSD accessories listed in the original R18 accessory catalog were ever produced. I’m not surprised that those that were are slowly disappearing.

    R18B changing tires from Michelin Commander 3 to Metzeler Cruisetec

    So following up on the conversation concerning the Metzeler tires cupping on the new Indians. Apparently the problem tires were manufactured in Brazil but they were only the fronts and they narrowed it down to a batch specifically designated to go to the Indian plant.

    AFTERMARKET EXHAUST

    I wish Freedom would build a dual full system utilizing their side dump collectors.

    R18B changing tires from Michelin Commander 3 to Metzeler Cruisetec

    I’m sure you’re going to be fine.

    Has anybody not received goods from LMC Bikes?

    In my one year wait for my parts from LMC, Hans had COVID and then a heart issue. I’m not saying but he looks like a pretty healthy guy in his online pictures.

    Brand and tire life on the R18

    The Cruisetec and from what I understand they were manufactured in Metzeler’s plant in Mexico. They are saying it was from a bad batch but my Indian dealer is suggesting switching over to Dunlop on those bikes.

    Brand and tire life on the R18

    Indian has had a rash of warranty replacements for the Metzeler tires they spec on the Challenger/Pursuit line of bikes. Severe cupping and wobble at 35 mph. My buddy just bought a Pursuit down in Florida and the dealer is replacing the front tire at less than 1K miles.

    Customs R18

    Nope, just uses the leather from Spirit Leathers who is Hans’ leather supplier. Hans would never use that rear fender design.

    Has anybody not received goods from LMC Bikes?

    I’ve never heard a single report of Hans not delivering. But you do need the patience of Jobe.
