    TC / Bagger phone plug?

    BMW missed a massive win here by not including Carplay/Android Auto. Would have cost much less to develop no doubt as well.

    Engine Engraved Plate

    Got the plates today...3 days from posting. They aren't as good as the built up plates and of course they aren't coloured simply engraved silver. They look okay, I guess I was hoping for "more" but you don't get more on the cheap! I say cheap these were €150 shipped. Update 18/06/24: I...

    Engine Engraved Plate

    Have the letters been raised and then flattened, so they stay proud of the background? It looks very good.

    Engine Engraved Plate

    https://www.racefoxx.com/BMW-R18-Engine-Type-Plates-indiv-laser-engraving-available I can't attest for the quality as I don't get them until next week. Here is the small sized trial print on a actual plate. Update 18/06/24: I attended a Club event at the weekend in extreme rain. By the...

    Engine Engraved Plate

    They need to be laser engraved, needle engraving won't work. If it was Jürgen Hieronymus it takes a good while to respond as it isn't his sole business. These are the proofs he did for me. I didn't go with him as he didn't reply in over a week, but if his work is as good as the mock ups then it...

    Mass Frustration

    It happens bud. It's not the end of the world and isn't a serious problem. Your enemy now is dealer labour rates :eek:

    Hornig Crash Bars Lean Angle

    Imagine a cross between a hairdryer and a compressor airline...heated air being thrown out of a 1/2" nozzle at great force. No nook or cranny is now safe!

    Hornig Crash Bars Lean Angle

    We're getting a OT here :ROFLMAO:. I use a cordless "power" washer from a bucket of water. They are not very powerful but will remove wet mud. I spray with a pre wash called a Traffic Film Remover in the UK, soak for 2 mins and then wash off. Then wash the bike (use a long bristle paint brush...

    Hornig Crash Bars Lean Angle

    I know exactly what you mean- I love my TC, but the FE was more "fun".

    2020/21 First Edition with few miles / known issues ?

    Lots of people love these bikes for a few hundred miles and then grow to dislike them. They are not an all rounder type of bike, so for many who only want/have one bike it's not ideal. See if your dealership can loan you one for a weekend and take a long trip. I had a FE for a week and a 200...

    Wiki Repair Manual

    It's not BMW, it's a single engineer in Germany. I think shipping will be expensive. He will make them uncoated or powder coated. This is the price to the UK. Plate, raw (without coating) as laser cut, incl. fastening bolts and screws: 150,-€. Powder coating, RAL 9005 matt: 60,-€ Shipping with...

    Service Reset is in another part of the app. I haven't got my dongle with me to try, but it is in there. Instrument Cluster perhaps?
