Has anyone had experience removing the the air box cover? What needs to be removed to access whatever is fastening to the case?
I’d refer to my service manual but BMW still has them on back order. 🙄
I am going to be reassembling my exhaust system this weekend. I ordered new gaskets but after looking at them it was probably a waste of money. They look like two SS pieces of flat sheet. BMW must rely on precision machining to make the seal.
But I need the torque specs for the two bolts that...
I see that this forum is having the same issues with photos as many others I frequent.
Has the administrators here heard from the site operators about this?
I have a barely used set of shorty pipes including the chrome heat shield and all the necessary clamps to simply bolt right up to your R18.

I said I’d document the fishtail exhaust modification project that I’ve commissioned a local fabricator to assist me with.
Here are a few pics of the inside of the mufflers after they were opened up.
Our plan is to tie the inlet end to the outlet with a SS slip pipe that provides a direct...

I have to say that BMW nailed it with the new Roctane. The combination of stance and the metal finishes will make the bike stand out in the American cruiser market.
And at the price point it is more than competitive with similarly equipped Harley and Indian models.
“The general position of the motorbike industry is that we are responsible for our hobby. And because we don't want to have everything ruined by a small minority of riders with manipulated and unapproved excessively loud exhaust systems, we stand behind tough legal regulation.”
That would be...
I don’t often recommend gear because personal fit and preferences come so heavily into play.
But over the winter I stumbled across these shields from a place called Fogy Garage in of all places Mongolia. They laid around in the garage until today when I strapped one onto my Bell Custom 500...
