With what did you replace them and what were the cost for it.Took off my foot rests. They came on the bike and for me, it just covers up too much of that beautiful engine. That and when you use them the wind just goes right up your pants leg.

@fleabag are you selling them?? If so, I am interested.I didn’t replace the floor boards, I replaced the foot rests. They are actually for sale on ebay. (Can I say that?)

Any specific brand of Ceramic Coating? I would like to put that on my TC as wellI just stared at mine!!!
Its been raining ever since I brought her home on Saturday. I want to wash and dry her off and apply ceramic coating.
Actually i think the stock seat is the same firmness as the Homage. The Homage is much wider so I think more comfortable. The seating position for me is much better I am not pushed forward like I was with stock or the mustang. I don‘t feel as crunched up as I did with the other seats. All that is just from sitting on the bike for a few minutes, so it really isn’t worth much. But then again everybody’s body is different and I am not sure what is good for one person is any indication for another. I diffidently set higher off the ground, not sure how much that has to do with the shock or seat or both combined. I did purchase the Wilbers shock that rises the bike an inch. My guess is I am going to like the seat and for longer trips it may need an AirHawk. The solo seat sure is much better looking and in keeping with the nostalgic look of the bike IMO.But, just wondering what your initial impressions are simply sitting on the seat without riding yet...... seat looks quite firm/hard ?
Unfortunately I am a Sirius XM radio addict. I have a radio in both cars. Have not purchased a radio for the R18 as I can bluetooth directly from the phone. If I were to live all over again, I would pursue the vocal music route. Depends of course on having raw talent but nevertheless, music heals the innards of a person.I'm not a Sirius satellite radio user in any of my vehicles; I think the DL for Sirius is in the S-Band (2.33GHz) and the US GPS DL is 1.6GHz. Satellite radio in metropolitan areas generally receive their programs via earth based transmitters, vs satellite.
Attached are pictures showing under the fairing and the radio receiver; I couldn't find anything about the radio that BMW uses (Alpine).
Write it up and post it...Tomorrow Im doing DNA stage 2 and installing Optimus tracker. Anyone interested in a write up?
Love that license plate... NJ doesn't have motorcycle vanity platesAfter much gritting and gnashing of teeth, I got the FPE exhaust installed (95% satisfactorily).

Yea, Arkansas didn't until probably the past couple of years. Actually originally requested "BOX3R" which was rejected for "can't use numbers as letters" (BOXER was taken). In the end the play on boxer/R18 is better anyway. $25 well spent!!Love that license plate... NJ doesn't have motorcycle vanity plates
