    Any pictures of a classic wout the bags?

    I have since changed the handlebars to black Indian Scout Trackers…

    Watch outs for a 2021 First Edition

    #1 “watch out” off of the showroom floor is to ensure that the rear suspension preload is addressed by the dealer. It needs be moved from the shipping setting to one in your weight range. Takes 2 minutes!

    R18 - Aftermarket ECU options

    I am sure it is no problem —I was more interested in any empirical result variance using 87 instead of 93.

    R18 - Aftermarket ECU options

    Q: I see 93 octane referenced in the dyno charts, but I try and run 87 ethanol free as much as I can. My only "mod" is a pair of Freedom Performance slip-ons with performance (minimal) baffles. Thoughts?

    Beach bars I’m waiting

    Good gravy! They look even more massive mounted. Wow!

    Beach bars I’m waiting

    Yes, they are the same OD’s as the OEM bar. But the 7/8 ends are longer, necessitating enlarging the area under the clamps. Also, if choosing black, the throttle side will need reduced under the grip area due to the finish thickness.

    Beach bars I’m waiting

    Yeah, there is no provision for internal wire routing on the OEM beach bars. You will have to mill the thru-holes yourself if pursuing internal routing. The right side can be a bit of a challenge as you have the extra line for the FBW throttle.

    Beach bars I’m waiting

    I had them in my hands last month. They are huge and a bit too raked in for me. They require longer hydraulic lines as well as wiring —which is now routed outside of the bars. I ended up passing on them and I installed a set of black Indian Scout Tracker bars instead. BTW, the Bobber part...

    Any RED R18's out there yet?

    It is the same red that they have used on the RT and the K16 for years now. It has an orange-ish lean in the flesh and is absolutely beautiful.

    I hate to break it to you, but that is not accurate. 🤷🏽

    1st Edition Gift Box

    And I still don’t think that your ‘22 TC qualified for the box, but way to hold an outstanding dealer hostage. 🙄

    Freedom exhaust for R18 Classic

    You could rotate the tails 90* from shark tails into dolphin tails. 🐬

    Freedom exhaust for R18 Classic

    With the bike on the stand, the right tail tops out at 16.5” and ends in alignment with the double pin stripe on the top of the fender. It starts to fall off about 1.5” heading forward.

    Freedom exhaust for R18 Classic

    Well, Corbin designed them to fit with the stock fish, so my guess is that they’ll fit —they don’t appear to be as tall. I’ll try to get you a better idea tomorrow when I’m with the bike. If they don’t fit, perhaps FP could do a swap out for you?

    WalzWerks Bobber Kit, finally

    Now now, different strokes, eye of the beholder, etc.

    Freedom exhaust for R18 Classic

    Sorry! I swear that I had answered this! 🤷‍♂️ I bought the 33" and I believe that the next up, the 36", will clear as the tail starts to fall off about 1 1/2" back.

    Freedom exhaust for R18 Classic

    Miserable, rainy day here today. This is from the other day. I did put one of the original Classic panniers on —for about 5 minutes. I just don’t like them and ended up reboxing them. While on, I noticed they just touched the top of the tail. A little shimming would take care of that if you were...
