    Nice looking Badlands Exhaust!

    Ive been searching for an exhaust upgrade that I'll like long term. Initially I was leaning toward Freedoms but I want the entire pipe and exhaust in black NOT half the pipes in chrome and the addon muffler in black. Anyways.... in my searching I came across this very unusual Japanese brand I...

    Expired. Any chance someone is kind enough to repost it? I can store it on my website with a perm download link, no expiring --so long as it's ok to do so.

    Recall? On all models with Reverse

    Bummer. --It was a wetransfer file and the link has since expired.

    Recall? On all models with Reverse

    Is that from the professional service/ shop manual? Where can I buy one? I found this https://manuals.bmw-motorrad.com/manuals/BA-Extern/IN/BA-INTERNET-COM/PDF/R_0L13_RM_1119_07.pdf And this (Classic)...

    Know of lens cover for the Classic's side head lights?

    Found plenty of options for the headlight cover --but coming up totally empty handed for the side lights. Same with axle mount back wheel sliders.. Anyone might help in my search please?

    Recall? On all models with Reverse

    I'd suggest a custom made, waist high, dual marble Roman columns, supporting an elongated crown molded rectangular platform --gives it the elevated status it deserves and being more eye level, makes it easier adore the artful engineering. I'm in SoCal too and by your comment I'd think this...

    Installing foot pegs on a Classic with floorboards

    Would these pegs work on an 2023 Classic?

    Recall? On all models with Reverse

    Same with my 2023 Classic when I tried the VIN. I wrote BMW about it and the lady replied to send her the VIN. I'm guessing they don't have the most recent VINs added? Give her a shout. Make her earn her wage :) Zaria [email protected]

    Adding NON Clearwater brand aux lights?

    So the Clearwater light brand are sweet - but crazy high priced. Is there a way to adapt non Clearwater brand like these highly rated ones? I added some (not this particular brand) to my Vulcan S without too much issue. But BMW being what it is --I wonder if doing so voids warranty...

    Recall? On all models with Reverse

    A San Diego BMW dealer's R18 initial pull from inventory/floor (and their refusal to sell it to me) was the very reason I started this post. See this link where it says under features "Reverse assist disabled?"...

    Recall? On all models with Reverse

    Makes me wonder if they're not suffering the "Boeing Syndrome"... It doesnt sound as if that many pp here have actually run into an real issue beyond being a bit glicky to get into gear. So how big of a concern is it really?

    Recall? On all models with Reverse

    That makes a lot of sense. That was/is a key feature for me buying that heavy of a bike, in fact if it didn't have reverse I doubt I'd be buying it because I can't imagine trying to muscle 800+ pounds up even a slight incline going backwards. I wonder if BMW is reading this? Be a good outline...

    Recall? On all models with Reverse

    I understand stopping sales. What's rather confounding is that they haven't been more forthcoming with the people that are actually using their product and hence taking the risks. Obviously not a lawyer but that almost seems to be a class action suit in the making. Esp if people got hurt as a...

    BMW's invasive motorcycle tracking?

    lol - Clever way of reporting me w/o reporting me --and trying to imply I had premeditated intent of being "clever" or some actual intent to try and skirt rules. and that my thoughts were't up to your expectations. You do Snarky as a art form well. 🤣 I'll try and do better.:love:

    BMW's invasive motorcycle tracking?

    Which I did... thats assuming when you opt out they honor it... but, technically, probably much like cell phones you can never really opt out. .... I was told by someone just now tho: "They can only collect it when you’re using the app which is for navigation. Otherwise no way to track...

    BMW's invasive motorcycle tracking?

    A little alarmed... I just plugged in the VIN to an R18 Im buying... at https://vehicleprivacyreport.com Not cool. Call me old school --but I refuse to own any vehicle that tracks my usage and/or reporting to insurance companies..

    Recall? On all models with Reverse

    Add one more to this wonderful forum family of R18-ers. I just plunked a deposit down on an R18 2023 - only 339 miles for a steal of $9,500
