So rotating them or moving side to side made no difference on these. I even tried setting them against a smooth part of the bars and they wont seat. So probably just not manufactured correctly to fit. I did send the seller a message but as I bought these last August and didnt try to mount them...

I saw that post this morning and I am going to try that later today. I will report back if that fixes it.

Yeah I may just take a file to the riser and see if I can get it to fit a little better . Probably only need to take a little off the corner. And @R2K Yes this came with the bracket to relocate the brake and clutch lines. no way this would have gone on without that.

So I ordered a set of risers from Ali Express. I had ordered several things from one of the shops on there previously and have been very happy with the quality so far. I put on these risers and they dont quite seat all the way. The bars are very tight and wont move. I even accidentally set the...

So we had some really nice weather on Sunday so the wife and I decided to take a good ride. After stopping for gas I realized I turned the wrong way out of the gas station and turned onto a side street to make a U-turn. The road was a slight incline which led to the incident. I was halfway...

Mine does yes but only when I am slow maneuvering and have it fully turned to lock. So basically only when Im turning it around in the garage.

Actually after doing a little more research I think I am going to go with a Derek Weaver lift. They seem to make a really good lift and found nothing but positive reviews. Plus I am only a few hours away from one of their warehouses and I can get this for way less the Discount Ramps one. Plus...

Oh I dont have a TC, I was just saying that even the TC is not quite 1000lb, but I guess its close. I have a standard R18 which is what 760? And my other bike is a Ducati ST2 which is under 500. I guess unless I plan on getting a heavier bike in the future I dont see the reason for it. That was...

Is there any reason to get the 1500lb lift over the 1000lb? Even the TC doesnt weigh over 1000. I am currently shopping for a lift and dont see why to spend the extra for a 1500lb over the 1000lb.

Even the "Change it once a year" saying is a myth thats been busted. Unless you are just taking a bunch of short trips on your bike and never getting it warmed up, there is no need to change your oil once year. I will probably be doing mine every 2 years weather or not I'm at 6000 miles. If you...

Where did you get your bars? I just received my extended brake/clutch lines and wiring and I think the mini apes will fit me perfectly.

Beemer Boneyard has oil, transmission, final drive, plus oil filter and crush washer for only $99.95. That seems like a great price. I have bought from them for my R1200C and would recommend them. I will be getting this from them when its time to do my 6000 mi service.

BMW Motorrad has issued a stop sale on all petrol powered bikes. I got an email from my dealer about it. Some speculation online seems to think its emissions related which means a big recall could be coming soon.

Only place I have seen them is on Ali Express...
