Lookin' good!

Yes they did! And to be fair, my ranting in prior posts has never been about “the dealer”. They can’t sell what they don’t have. I have sent emails to BMW (nice ones) and they remaining unanswered. It just is not right.

My biggest gripe is no shop manual and some missing capacities and other specs not in the Owners Manual, leaving us to hunt and guess or go to the dealer who just happens to have ALL of the information if you will just leave your bike, and pay for work you normally do yourself. Not to mention...

You said it best!

I do not believe that (COVID) is BMW's problem for not releasing their accessories to market. I've had no issues buying Harley parts or Ducati parts. COVID was in full swing when I bought my R18 as were BMW's promises. Cut 'em a break on this if you want I never will. This has been total...

Yep. I had the same thoughts.Their sorry arses can excitedly release “new and exciting” paint schemes for 2022 but struggle with shop manuals. seats, and mufflers?? They don’t print the manuals (DVDs already in the DEALER’s $100+ per hour hands), they don’t manufacture the accessory seats OR the...

I guess I could at least try that...but still OEM mufflers do too good of a job for many of us old salts...

Yet another case necessitating the need for louder exhausts! Loud pipes save whines! heheheh

Speaking of the fishtails...I'd like to say "THANK YOU" to Black Dog. Although he is no fan of the fishtails (believe me on that!!) many of us are - in all regards EXCEPT the sound. I messaged him about our exhausts and he provided me with excellent information on how he developed his own...

BMW has really treated all of us R18 owners terribly with regard to follow-through in getting accessories to market. It is especially bad considering all of the hype they threw at as about availability. Can’t even get a shop manual yet. It is all about their $$ and total disregard for the...

The battery tender adapters are hit and miss with can bus. If you don’t want to spring for an Optimate 4 or BMW charger, you can wire a battery tender pigtail directly to the battery terminals and use your “normal” battery tender.

Good, a question that I had is now inadvertently answered. Some flap valves default to Closed, obviously with no cable tension these default to Open. Did you "roll the dice" or look first before disconnecting?

Congratulations!

I just noticed in your signature that you also have an R 128. Pics??

Not touching this one....

Hitting the gas and spinning the tire exiting a corner! Sounds fun. Probably time to go ahead and order some bar ends and engine covers so you won't have to wait to replace!

That is a normal (and a good) sign.

Not to knock their stand but as you've indicated, why? My scissor lifts at the exact same points (under the receivers for the muffler pins) and supports the rear of the bike just fine,for a little over $500 cheaper! All said tho' if someone doesn't have a lift or needs to borrow a workspace the...

Part numbers please??

We will need a “how to” on how to remove the muffler that the stand uses.(slides over the muffler hook pin).
