Those are the BMW beach bars modified to allow for internal wiring.
What did you do to your R18 today?
- Thread starter TodkaVonic
- Start date
Loctite on everything but not nearly in the amount that BMW uses during assembly. They just slobber it heavy on every bolt.
More progress today but hit a stumbling block.
The plug-n-play wiring harness that was provided by LMC doesn’t function the same on U.S. market bikes. Now I need to tear down the harness and rewire it to allow the Atto Integral lights to function properly.

Plate without seal of approval 
and
screwed on vertically
Both forbidden in Germany
I often watch Der Germinator on German TV. A German police officer who emigrated to the United States.
He is the sheriff of a small town in Texas
Maybe some of you know this series.
He recently said "TÜV" is also available here. Costs only $7.50..."
TÜV is one of the technical monitoring institutions in Germany for motor vehicles and trailers.
Normally every 2 years. Costs 130 euros.
If everything is OK, the plate receives a seal of approval for the next 2 years.
If a defect is found, it must be repaired and checked again. That costs another 30 euros and so on.
The vehicle can also be taken out of order.

The laws in Europe are far more restrictive but here in Milwaukee we have the Harley Davidson effect. There is an awful lot of looking the other way when it comes to custom bikes.
Hans also told me the German sound restrictions prevent him from many exhaust mods.
