    Bmwmoa dealer parts discount

    Yes I would be interested to know did they have the parts in stock when they gave you the 35% off or did they give you 35% off and they had to order them first? Would be great if a dealer lets you order parts, not in stock...seats for example...and you can get that 35% off. I will tell my...

    Bmwmoa dealer parts discount

    Don’t get too excited…turns out it only applies for service related items needed…guessing filter and bike parts though ONLY if the dealer has the parts in stock at the store when you are there. You cannot order the parts, say to replace a broken bike part and have the discount applied. At least...

    County seat - how deep?

    My Weekender seat is 13.5” deep from from tip to back right were the ‘backrest‘ hump begins. Can someone with the County seat measure yours and advise how deep (length) your seat is from tip of the front of the seat to right were the stitching denotes the backrest hump starting please. ty

    Feeling old… throttle wrist R18FE

    Thanks all, will rotate the handlebar just a bit though will hit 600 miles after I put on 200 more so will wait to take her in for her first service and have them do that since I want to see if likewise they need to tilt the master brake so it is level. Though that begs the question...does...

    Feeling old… throttle wrist R18FE

    No reply needed unless you likewise feel this is an issue and/or resolved it. Possible I have just been using my ipad too much lately though noticed while riding the R18 it seems I have to bend my wrist a bit such that it rotates to increase throttle in a downward position which results in a...

    Windscreen Uncertainty

    Expensive but it works, if you have a new screen that needs some tweaking. https://saeng.com/product/gen-4-edging-noise-turbulence-reduction/

    Windscreen Uncertainty

    I did just purchase a MadStad screen and lowers for my 2021 R18FE. Had to ride it back to them to get the lowers adjusted (bent) so they would not touch the uppper screen. Oddly enough, it appears the lowers redirected more air about my lower body AFTER they bent them today for me. Though...

    Windscreen Uncertainty

    Also, data would need to denote if screen can be raised, if so how much? Can it tilt, if so range of motion forward and back. Are there separate lowers? Not easy to slice/dice all data points. Even the fairling/lowers that might come on the bike stock come into play…some better than others.

    Floorboards swapped to R18B flatpegs

    Thanks Varg, my Lord those are some big boots :) Might have to give them a call, wonder if they will offer any Black Friday discounts. Dam…as I add up the cost the price difference between my R18FE and a Bagger ever so slowly starts to lessen. Still, I am digging the R18FE provided I sort out...

    Huge Discounts?

    Darn, that was a steal of a deal and I second the thought to give CycleWerks a call and chat with Adam for bike sales if you looking and live on East Coast. No fees helps a lot on bottom line cost.

    Floorboards swapped to R18B flatpegs

    "... I put the Wunderlich Lowered Footpegs on my 2021 R18FE, they were a direct swap with the original round foot pegs. I've been very pleased with them, as they are lower and offer a significant range of positions sliding foot forward and back. My favorite Gaerne riding boots have flat soles...

    Huge Discounts?

    Above seems about rightish. Looking back, maybe my deal was not the best around. It was for a 2021 R18FE with cruise and all the extras offered on that trim (though stock foot pegs). IMHO you have to get reverse, use it very time I back the bIke up into the garage. At that time the...

    Weekender seat is a no go…

    A sales guy at my local bmw shop switched to the Cross County seat on his Classic and was there for demo day…well the free pretzels. Did not know there were so many ways to offer them (even as mini pretzel dogs (y)). Though it wasn’t until after that when doing the 60 mile ride back, 120 miles...

    Weekender seat is a no go…

    Darn, 65 mile ride and it felt ok. A 120 mile ride and it is a no go sadly. Don’t know if the backrest is playing a part though I feel I am seating too close to end of the gas tank (my legs are very close to the back of the tank). I thought somewhere on the site there was a post that showed...

    Shaft splines service bulletin

    My dealer likewise does not have the supplies. And instead spoke with bmw and is using a different lubricant. Since it’s an expose driveshaft, apparently all they’re doing is cleaning it off and then spraying it with his other lubricant. That versus an enclosed driveshaft where I guess you would...

    Can Do…you do?

    While searching google for that windscreen rubber trim material I then check out their blog and read up on this product. I have never used it though have used the other fairing trim material and know that works. Might be worth a try. https://saeng.com/product/aerosol-polish-cleaner/
