    Smoke Tinted Clear Coat On Chrome Valve Covers?

    Has anyone done this? I want to see the chrome shining through a smokey clear coat! I can't be the first??? Any pics? I understand there are a couple ways to get this. Has anyone done high-temp translucent tinted clear paint? I'm pretty sure the clear powder coat isn't what I'm thinking of.

    Draining the oil condenser hose

    its a plug not a duck bill, i think. called a plug. try a plug and drain only at oil change. maybe only on my 2021 R18 classic?

    Draining the oil condenser hose

    Isn't it supposed to have a plug in it and get drained when changing the oil? Check this out, BMW part number 13 71 7 650 224 PLUG, quantity 1, Price $4.53. It is item number 14 in the "INTAKE MUFFLER, BOTTOM", BMW PARTS MICRO FICHE.

    Reverse/Backup Light and Beeper?

    I already pull into parking spaces I never would have without reverse just to show off. A beeper, very loud or not could be cool. Same with a backup light. Certain brands do look down their nose at BMW's. Their rides are twice the price, lower quality and no reverse!
