what took you so long? :LOL: waaay cool. I see you have two colours, a blue and a white. I bet you receive a lot of attention in urban traffic at night. Well done.

I was in London over Christmas for a month and went to the Bike Shed for a look around. (I did not have a bike, it was home in Canada so was on the bus). Had a great coffee and slightly burnt croissant, served by a nice Irish lass and had a good look around. It is a very cool lifestyle hangout...

the under fender lighting is cool idea. Would you share a photo from a night ride, or with the garage lights out or something please?

A simple solution which protects you legally is to just name the city the machine in question was purchased in. Perfectly legal. I do hope you get clear of this ugly mess.

Like many other posters here, my moto gets attention whenever and wherever I stop. I was riding the Alberta Rocky Mountains 10 days ago with a friend who has a Harley Road King with a huge bat-wing and it is bright orange. Because that model has been around longer, most riders know what it is...

Update: Well fellow riders I decided after my grumble to take my seat to an upholstery shop with a good set of Google ratings. We talked. I committed. The work was completed in 3 days. The chap was able to re-use the BMW insignia from the original seat cover and I am invited back for minor...

Mine right side bag reflector detached while I put my 750ml water bottle into the bag. The only other thing in there is my ball cap and emergency rain gear. The plastic is just broken. Funnily enough, when I had the machine in a couple of days later and mentioned it to the main BMW dealer in...

Yes, I viewed that seat when the chap posted it and it is stunning. The gent's name is Tom Hurley and he is in Scotland. My challenge is that I would have to send him my seat. Not really that difficult, I will be in England over this coming Christmas for 4 weeks. It is something I am...

Thank you Gr8adv. I appreciate your info. It is unfortunately a bit more complicated. The seat is only available from BMW. Mustang does not even sell them. This is part of the corporate trade agreement. I have not found a BMW dealer anywhere yet for the price you mention. The straight currency...

The infamously uncomfortable stock seat on the R 18 Classic and various other models has a large number of posts, complaints, suggestions and solutions. It occurs to me we may have given BMW reason to really hit us, collectively, in the wallet moving forward. Rember the cheesy aphorism that the...

Frenchie, WOW WOW WOW!!! This is by far the most beautiful motorcycle seat I have ever seen. It is a work of art in itself. Congratulations and I look forward to seeing it mounted on your R 18.

I just did the annual service on my 2021 Classic FE, it was cruised out of the lot in 2022 so it is only really 1 year old. 6625 kms on her. The oil change, tire pressure, brake wear checks and a few other sundry checks had me departing with two rows of "green" boxes ticked, (the other two are...

My Classic FE came with Cruise and the damper. I have a sneaking suspicion the damper is really there for the windscreen which may shed aerodynamic loads unevenly, creating divergent or uncommanded steering inputs. Just my two cents worth.

Really nice machine Jamus, I envy you your stock seat. The original seat on the '21 Classic FE model is an instrument of medieval torture. I have been trying to buy a replacement (the BMW/Mustang co-brand Weekend model) since spring but the local dealer is out of stock. I will wait, I have no...

Man, I got close last week. Gravel parking area, backed in. A second's inattention and a split second off the hand brake and the bike rolled back a bit and it was off balance. Used every bit of strength I had to keep it from dropping and got her back up. Jeez I was concerned. Whew!
