Of course when switching from R18 to R1200C the difference in power/torque shows immediately.
But before buying my R18 it was...
I love my R18.
And I still love my R1200C Montauk 17 years after buying it.
You want to know why?
It's just a fantastic bike.
The telelever front end is a treat!
The power braking is astounding.
The road behaviour is just perfect.
And the design is exclusive, and needs no comparison.
I'd like to...
The noisy pump was different and appeared only when the engine was running.
Problem solved by a soft update.

The mirror is glued (hot pistol glue)
You can take it off heating it with an air dryer.
So you have access to the nut inside to adjust the ball pressure.
And reglue it back.
Not easy I reckon.
I have 4 cars and 2 bikes, so I don't want to have 6 tags. :):)
I have only three of them
The cars have tag suppports iside the windshield.
Another reason I prefer to keep it in my jacket when riding is I can't forget it on the bike where it could be stolen.
I don't have the driver backrest, and asked to even avoid to build the fixture for it. So ther's no hole in the saddle.
I don't feel the need of a driver backrest.
But yes, both the driver and passenger backrests are adjustable.
Sorry in french.
No display yet on the Shif Custom web site.
Beautyful work to my eyes.

I have it too.
I first thought it came from the new front fender (plastic stuff).
So I ripped it off and rode with nothing.
The noise persisted.
It comes from the tire obviously and increases with the tire wear.
I tried a brand new TC and the noise was there. Discreet ( new tires) but clearly...
Hey ! Did you try to adjust them ? :LOL:
Joke aside I was not very happy with the mirrors on my FE about the blind spot, but they are much better now since I put a convex mirror on them as a Forum member counselled. Sorry I don't remember who right now.
But I'm still searching wider oval...
