    Heidenau K34 Arrow Tires on Classic Anyone?

    No reviews at all on the internet. Also not available in the US Heidenau distributor.

    Helmet suggestions

    You found your fit. That makes a lot of difference on a long day ride. A helmet hot spot is a torture and gets to you after a while.

    Helmet suggestions

    Schuberth C5s here. Very comfortable, light, pretty quiet considering it's a modular and clean and neat comm installation. Similar fit to Shoei XD-4 which was my favorite during my R 1200 GS decade.

    Ride from Charleston SC to Wheels Through Time

    Setting the proper preload for the rear suspension

    Based of the '22 R 18 Classic manual and considering that riding gear (helmet, jacket, gloves) can be 15 lbs / rider and fuel 26 lbs. Max payload is 17 lbs. / softbag but I may use 2.5 lbs / per softbag when solo and maybe 15 lbs / per softbag when loaded for long trips.
