    Question SeaFoam (Annual Maintenance)

    The R has been used seemly since the beginning of time. They have routinely gone hundreds of thousands of miles. Oil change, ride repeat.

    R18 Louvered Performance Plates

    I have thought about that several times. I always choose to leave them for the industrial look. Idk.

    How To BMW R18 K34 Factory Tachometer Build

    Naw, that’s nice too. It has the old school gauge add-on vibe we use to see in muscle cars.

    How To BMW R18 K34 Factory Tachometer Build

    No. When viewed from the rider position on the bike, the R18 from the factory is an excellent modern visual take of the original single head. The later roctane took it up a notch in that regard. But very, very nice work and write up. Thanks for sharing.

    R18 Louvered Performance Plates

    Reminds me of the day I asked my dad what those tall poles were by the airport. He said to hold up the red lights. I asked him what the lights were for and he said so planes didn’t hit the poles.

    R18 Louvered Performance Plates

    Question haha. Ok. You have fans that produce winds equal to a tropical storm. That’s impressive!!! 😂 Can’t wait for the video of the guy strapped to the bike.

    R18 Louvered Performance Plates

    That would be a great idea. It would take a lot of air from in front of the bike tho. For reference, it takes a conscious effort to stand in front of all 30mph wind.

    R18 Louvered Performance Plates

    Important to note: These results, as explained to us at this point, compare a system not operated the way it was designed to operate. The DNA upgrade requires the bike to be moving. Possibly there is more information not shared with us yet. -The DNA airbox stage two changes the BMW design of...

    Hell you an Aussie? My guess is you will create something impossible from random material found in the attic.

    R18 Louvered Performance Plates

    From their web page. HOW IT WORKS The Frogzskin Mesh repels water, dirt, dust, etc. while still allowing air to flow freely. The Frogzskin Mesh is a woven polyester material. It is also hydrophobic, meaning it will repel water and splashes of water. Frogzskin's are a peel and stick adhesive...

    R18 Louvered Performance Plates

    I think that is cool. I do the same kind of research. My engineering brain is always wasting tons of my time. I love it. I can’t wait til I get a prototype of a side vent air scoop.

    Wonderful. Was there manufactured air speed?

    R18 Louvered Performance Plates

    Bottom line is, it’s hard to live when you are afraid of dying. Don’t worry about opening up your sideplates. You have an air filter to filter dust and crap that is what it is for. If you want to protect your air filter you can put some frogzkin over your existing factory filter. If you...

    R18 Louvered Performance Plates

    You might want to rethink. Your only intake IS your intake. Dust in the wind is dust in the wind. As a side note, (pun intended) the side plates will likely only expel air that taken in by the stock intake if you remove the snorkels.

    Aghhhhhh!!!!!!!!

    Damn. Not much help but empathy. I would expect the lock is dirty and not broken. Google “gastank lock won't open with key” for some cleaning tips. Fwiw in my 66 years on this planet I have yet to encounter a need to have my fuel tank locked. Lucky I guess.
