Pulled my fronts off by hand, just two way tape holding them on. Put them away for re use if need be.

Think I'm going to sacrifice the Mustang seat and have it tailored to suit my requirement, most likely going to cost half the price of the high seat ( which I would be taking a chance with),

Hello all, the seat on this bike is a constant reminder about uncomfortable. I purchased a Mustang solo seat from BMW but it is worse as it pushes your arse more forward which makes one lean back instead of sitting upright. I am currently back with the original seat. I saw and got a quote from...

Considering a bit of bling on my R18, does anyone know what material the rim part is made from?

Nothing I have purchased for the R18 from Ali Express has been successfully fitted and I ended up just hanging stuff against the wall, and to try return something wrongfully supplied is a nightmare as you cannot speak to anyone ( chat bot told me my incorrect cyl head guard is actually for a...

Anyone here had a sticky turn signal button. If I manually cancel the turn signal the button does not return to it's proper position, this prevents the turn signal from working even though you can move the button sideways. I want to open the switch holder and hopefully can see what is causing...

Doubt it, the Pro Race products are a pretty good fit.

Fishtails back on, those Pro Race shortys were making me crazy, Pity, I liked the look with them on.

My Pro Race pipes eventually arrived last week, fitted on Saturday. Apart from the seat height ( going to alter the Mustang seat not the std one) I'm pretty much done with mods for now.

I went with a Puig Mito screen. There wasn't much wind to worry about anyway, screen makes very little difference. Really just for the look.

So far everything that I have bought from Ali Express is now hanging on my garage wall, I bought the chrome carrier for the rear mudguard but the seat securing bracket doesn't really have place for the carrier bracket and looks crap, I have another rearward carrier which is ok but looks odd...

Shorter, seems to have me closer to the tank and I find myself sitting on the raised portion after a few km. I think bum height still the same as the original seat. The raised portion is the height I need so hopefully can get that sorted in the coming months.

I also tried to top end mine but at 190 km/h on the speedo I started wondering if it was going to be worth the effort and backed off, suspect that it would reach 200 though giving a 180 km/h top end.

Well I'm back with the standard seat for now. That Mustang seat was terrible, seems shorter than the std one and I just couldn't get comfy on it. I am going to use it as my base for modification with a local seat specialist, try and see if I can get extra height. At least the std seat stays...

Not the best photo but here it is.
