    I also replaced the silver screws on the cylinder cover with black screws. Don't know why BMW don't do that

    to chinese or no to chinese

    As mentioned previously. The quality is stipulated by the price willing to be paid. This is true no matter where the product is made.

    Actually you get the quality you pay for irrespective of where the product is manufactured. When buying cheap alternatives there is always a reason for them being cheap. Sometimes they may even be rejects from the "real" production line. In a previous life I worked for a German company and we...

    New BMW R18B

    A truly amazing area for riding. But I must admit I have not been there since I spent some weeks on exchange at Fort Old back in '88 working on Blackhawk's. But loved the area and always wanted to make it back someday but so for not fortunate enough to visit.

    the 3D Printed pieces look great. Still working on getting the desktop CNC. would you be willing to share the 3D file? Either STL or STP? The desktop CNC offers some different options. Of course can mill out of an aluminum blank but there are also some interesting 2 Colour plastics and also...

    Setting the proper preload for the rear suspension

    I did the same with mine. And the improvement was very significant. I bought mine used and was told by the dealer they don’t adjust. Sounds like your riding weight is similar to mine. What I have noticed is that I don’t notice a big difference when either my wife or daughter jump on...

    Not convinced on the use of a 3D printed plastic. They are more useful for short life objects. I understand that there are a lot of different materials available but just a word of caution. I am currently looking at a 4 axis desk top CNC machine that could do that in metal. Just need to...

    Discrete Camera's for R18 Classic Front and Rear?

    OK So I have the same unit sitting in the garage waiting to be installed. Have been procrastinating just because running cables is a PITA. But you have inspired me and will get it done this week. Hopefully! My plan is to mount the front camera under the headlight. Will share pics when complete.

    Heel Shifter Search

    I understand reluctance by some to deal with AliExpress but I have had some great success with them and even when I recently had an issue with delivery the aliexpress service resolved the issue with the seller quickly and efficiently. Quick search found this: Shifter kit R18 Worth a shot.

    BMW 2025 R18 Roctane

    A true piece of art! I added the black cylinder covers to my red classic. It looks amazing. After seeing yours I think I need to also change the side cover wording to black. It never ends!

    Agree the book alone is an eye catcher. And page turner.

    Wunderlich Leg Rest

    Thank you for sharing. Convinced me not to pay the Wunderlich premium and bought a cheaper tank frame from Amazon. Lots of Asian suppliers but bought from Amazon at 100 euro less than wunderlich for what looks like the same item. And with Amazon prime returns are easy.

    Whilst I would tend to agree on the fakes. Looking at the registration details of the website and looking at the history of the owners. Along with the location in Erding, Munich, and some additional comments in the about section I would not be surprised if this is either some ex BMW folks or...
