The below image is of my former 2008 GS Adventure, where I installed a USB 12V socket into the instrument dash that also "doubled" as a Volt Meter showing 14.1 Volts:

For the most part, that's a true statement with the exception of the Model B and TC, which has the USB-C socket in the center console phone cradle. It does look as though BMW added a USB port next to the 12 V DIN socket, on the filler panel below the Reverse Lever; perhaps, you can try ordering...

I've jumped started my buddy's Road Glide using the Positive Terminal (which is currently capped) and the Ground lug underneath the cylinder; that said, it took 15 min to take apart his bike just to get to a jump point on his battery...

Removed the Engine Protection Bar & Lower Leg Wind Protection: I love the look... I hate the lack of wind management above 67 mph

Deleted member 1618 used the bedding fabric that you lay down in the garden, in order to prevent weeds from growing. I typically remove it once a year, as part of my annual clean-up and shake it out; it keep heavy rain and such from the cable harness and such. Also, I use No Ox as in "No...

For which model? The Model B has additional fuses that are covered and an additional fuse under the seat in an enclosed fuse holder.

I like the RED colored buttons... It gives the R18 that Modern-Analog vibe... Plus, hopefully you don't need to use the Horn and or Hazards buttons...

Maybe review the following YT video prior to tearing the fork tubes apart (which I recall from other forum members, is extremely difficult due to BMW's over use of LocTite); the video covers the alignment and tightening process of the front wheel of a motorcycle. You can go on the BMW website...

I thought the FE was limited to the 2021 manufacturing year...? But, what do I know...

Home sick from work today; I finally got around to putting some BLACK colored heat shrink on the newly installed wiring from the Reverse Fix, the RED colored lug was driving me crazy... (T-30 Torx). Also, put a plastic nut cap on the Reverse motor that is somewhat exposed on the opposite side...

That would had been a perfect project bike in my book; I'm always searching for another FE with less than 500 miles on her..

I figured a possible new bike, but the mention of zip ties threw me off... Congratulations on the new whip... Looks like a First Edition R18... My favorite for custom bobbed projects..

What are we happy about...?

I noticed a significant drop in road noise when I switch out the stock tires, to the Metzler tires.

Where are you located?

I spy with my little eye... An R18 amongst the HD crowd..

I received an invite for the below event, taking place on Saturday, September 13 between 0900-1500 hrs. In Bergen County NJ Registration link is below: https://bmwmoa.org/event/bmw-of-north-america-all-clubs-cars-and-coffee-and-concours/

I honestly agree... I'm currently at 13,000 miles and feel as though the bike sounds smoother, runs smoother and shifts with precision as I continue to log miles on the odometer...

I saw that someone was going to be selling their oil cooler soon, as they are selling their R18 ... Even at $600, it's a lot - especially for my Bagger. I would have jumped on the oil cooler, if I had plans on building another R18 Bobber though..
