Welcome! You can download the manual from https://manuals.bmw-motorrad.com/de/rider-manual, just look under Heritage. I think that's a common behavior. You have to move a bit at a time. Also, if you're on a slope, the reverse may be disabled. It can be tricky to use.

I guess the reverse gear would come in handy in such situations ;^)

Welcome and congrats on your new beautiful bike!

It seems that you can upload video files thru the "Attach files" button in the bottom-left corner of the message box. However, it doesn't seem to accept videos/ I tried an mp4 video but no matter the size, I get the message "The file is too large to be uploaded."

I found this gem on Amazon for $35. I connected it in series with the DIN socket on the dashboard, routed the wire between the left speaker and the fairing, and mounted it to the bottom of the left side of the handlebar. I made a couple of spacers out of 1/8" hard plastic and it pretty solid...

I installed a Kuryakyn (p/n 5956) peg for my foot brake. The hardest part was locating the proper screw - it requires a 5/16-24 - 3/4" socket cap screw and I had to buy a pack of 10. Overall I really like it, a lot easier to feel and control. It is longer than the stock one, and has more grip...

I installed the Wunderlich shifting pegs, and they're definitely much larger than stock. The heel shifter is a lot easier to use now. Note how the front one also has a much thicker base, so the whole peg shifts to the left. It works fine for me, but the OEM front peg would work fine too.

Welcome and good luck with the bike swap!

I tried those, but they are not designed to be pulled back. When I did that, the grips were pointing away from me. Beautiful bike, BTW!

I'll comment on the procedure since I have done this several times. The stock position allows for a bit over an inch of clearance between the bar and the top of the opening (see attached image). I found that the following can be done within an hour: 1. Remove wind screen - 6 bolts 2. Remove...

Easier said than done, I have to figure out which ones to order. Have been reading about handlebar specs and dimensions, creating models, but now I need to find the right bars. Apparently Indian Scouts also use the 7/8 inch bar ends, so that might provide a few options.

I tried the Wunderlich indoor cover, for $35 it's hard to complain. But, the top case section is too small and it sits too high on my TC. https://www.wunderlichamerica.com/BMW_Indoor_Motorcycle_Cover_XXL I contacted Wunderlich and they offered to send it back for a refund, but I kept it and...

Did anyone install Helibars or other custom handlebars on a Bagger or TC? I need to get more reach but it seems that Helibars point up and not sure how much more reach they would provide. I also saw another thread about KST Kustoms, but they clearly provide even less reach. Any feedback is...

They cost over $800 with clutch and brake lines, 8 sealing washers ($0.48/each), one bottle of brake fluid and one of clutch fluid, and sales tax. That also included a 10% discount since I just purchased the bike from them. Gent

I'm 168 cm. At 205 they should fit you well. The bagger bars are not really designed to be pulled back.
