    BUYER BEWARE -- www.HAULBIKES.com -- Bike Breakers

    I've even gone to ordering special titanium colored, bronze tipped croc. hide leather to accent the saddle bags, (or I'll remake them entirely by hand myself) --and the same leather can be used for belt and wallet and the center gas tank protector strip and seat cover accepts. As well as retro...

    BUYER BEWARE -- www.HAULBIKES.com -- Bike Breakers

    I don't know the answer to that sir. I guess it depends on if the repairs are limited to cosmetic. And then too, if the repairs are paid --not-- through insurance companies whom I'm assuming are the ones that'd add a strike on the VIN. IF the repairs are cosmetic and IF its paid not thru the...

    BUYER BEWARE -- www.HAULBIKES.com -- Bike Breakers

    What's even more annoying is also affected now is my investment of another 5k-6k in parts I've been special ordering to assemble it into the customized color scheme that compliments the specific colors (titanium) of this bike. So now a new R18 will have to be custom ordered in the same titanium...

    BUYER BEWARE -- www.HAULBIKES.com -- Bike Breakers

    Sorry to hear that. Seems you're one of many. On reading horror stories of haulbikes and other transport companies online... I'm beginning to think transport companies are about as greasy as some used car salesmen. In this case I have full 360 detailed pictures taken right before loading by...

    BUYER BEWARE -- www.HAULBIKES.com -- Bike Breakers

    The accident was not in my possession. I'm not taking a bike with a strike on its vin, that did not have it when I bought it. However that manifests.

    BUYER BEWARE -- www.HAULBIKES.com -- Bike Breakers

    6 months hunting the perfect Dream bike base to build out --poof. A pristine R18 Classic 2023 / 300 miles I bought from a dealership in IL. was collected by www.haulbikes.com a "professional" bike transport company, still in transport I get an email this morning saying it was damaged. A worker...

    Upgrading to DNA Stage 2 Filter requires ECU flash remapping?

    Thanks gents... I guess it won't hurt anything if I change the AF and if I get 'check engine' (or whatever the equiv. error type indicators would be) --I can always revert until I get the Bren Tune.

    Upgrading to DNA Stage 2 Filter requires ECU flash remapping?

    I just bought the DNA kit filter and bracket. Shortly after I get a reply to my inquiry: "Regarding the P-BM18CR20-S2-COMBO in case you wish to proceed with the purchase of this Stage 2 Air Filter we inform you that the ECU remapping is mandatory" This means what? Now I have to take it in to a...

    Nice looking Badlands Exhaust!

    My conundrum here is I want this black Freedom slash cut slip ons... but what I found by calling them directly is that they do not sell the black pipes, neither the U shape that go from the engine to the horizontal pipes that lead into the slipsons. So a LOT of extra work if I want the entire...

    Nice looking Badlands Exhaust!

    Yea, I can see your point. That and after I sat with it awhile I decided I wanted the length to extend further too -- --maybe not as far as the orig. (that being the end of the exhaust going past the back of the tire hanging in mid air --but maybe halfway-ish, the end of the exhaust stopping at...

    R18 Tank protector...

    Thanks.. Yea that's like my first pic. More a rack than much like full protection/cover. This is what I think I'm going to make. At least until I design and pattern to cover the whole tank. Using a stock photo (not my moto in the pic) something like that same tube rack above, but in black...

    R18 Tank protector...

    I can't seem to find a decent tank protector. Anyone know of a partial or full cover? I've seen the ones with tubing... but that's not really much protection... Aliexpress has this one but it's tacky cheap plastic there's this but I think it's for the TC and it does not appear to...

    Nice looking Badlands Exhaust!

    I never liked the fish tail myself... but these turned flat made the look different. I can see what you're saying about the size too... they do seem a bit too diminutive. I still want my all black slash cut so I'll keep hunting! Thanks!
