When are one of you brave souls going to do exporatory surgery on our beautiful fishtails and provide a “how to” on this forum?

Yep it is the same for the passenger pillion on the two-piece set-up. A bit different with the solo seat.

My experience with several Corbin seats over the years is good; in spite of their poor customer service and unresponsivness. They actually make great product that settles in well and lasts and lasts. The backrest bolt will need to be re-tightened 3 or 4 times before the backrest snugly settles...

Actually I always thought that the proper repair for a Gold Wing was to replace it with a motorcycle that had a soul.

Yep...I wish mine would read through my seat! No worries now tho'!

I have a Corbin 2-piece set-up which I love. Late yesterday while pulling into my driveway from a nice country ride my KEY ? symbol came on. After I stopped, I shook the FOB and it rattled so I took it inside popped it open and found the battery wasn't seated properly. I decided to go ahead and...

Howdy!

Yes it was. Your point?

That is great news!! But I think the credit should go to the forum members who figured it out, not HEX, because HEX GS911 was of NO HELP to the first few of us who contacted them directly to ask for help and/or a work around. That’s why we went alternate routes. I will use my GS911 in the...

I felt the same way until they launched the K1600B - looking like a space age Street Glide...with almost 3 times the HP and about 200 lbs lighter. I quickly sold my 2017 Street Glide CVO and bought my BMW bagger and have never looked back.

Those RS covers are beautiful but too rich for my blood…because I bought the OEM final drive oil🤣🤣

Didn’t work for me that way. But it’s worth a shot if you already own a GS911. I wouldn’t advise someone to buy one and start there hoping for the best when there is a known work around with Motoscan. I tried everything I could think of with my GS911 including some back and forth with their...

I continue to delay buying engine guards because in my opinion they really detract from the look of the bike. My R18 has never been down, hopefully never will be, but one never knows…today might be the day! But if I lived in fear I wouldn’t ride at all. So I keep thinking about the design of the...

Good to hear another rider opine about BMW's warranty performance on final drives. We must have went to the same "School of Hard Knocks". What year did you graduate? I graduated with honors (hehehe) at 16 yrs. old (1967).

Back at ya my friend!

And being in an oil thread is the last place I want to be. My point - last attempt - was about not giving the OEM enough wiggle room to not honor a warranty claim. Yep, that is good oil you’ve described, there are a lot of great brands, and there are tests that can be done. And who will pay for...

Did you even read my post? It looks like you just used it as a springboard to rant about their spec and their warranty. I don't disagree with your words and I hate their spec on this final drive fluid too but all of those words have absolutely NO BEARING on what I wrote. For my 3-year warranty I...

No. Their pipe line must've been hacked.

Sounds like you are convinced! You don't have to use BMW's products but you do have to use products of equal specs or a warranty claim can be denied. So far I haven't been able to find a product (besides BMW's) that meets or exceeds their spec for the R18's final drive. It is your bike so have...

And that new final drive oil spec'd IS EXPENSIVE!!!!!!
