I'm not too worried about it. I live in a pretty laid back state. Unless I do something stupid I doubt I'll get hassled over mirrors. It could happen but I'll take my chances.

Just for the heck of it I removed my windshield and mirrors today and went for about a 100 mile ride. Wow! What a difference. I already like this bike but removing the windshield and mirrors made a HUGE difference in how much I enjoyed my ride today. I'd forgotten how nice it was to ride a naked...

Yep. Just went out to my barn to look at my g-string front fender. Yours looks WAY better. What was BMW thinking putting that tiny fender on an old school fat tired wire spoked wheel motorcycle? The front fender is the only thing I don't like about my Classic but I was fine with it until you...

Damn you! Now I want one too. This forum is expensive.....

I have to be honest, I was two thirds through this thread and still convinced it was a case of OCD. When I heard the whine in the second video I began to change my mind. That was LOUD. As of now I'm a big fan of Gerard. Well done for documenting the issue and seeing it through to a final...

@Desert Rat Thank you.

Got a pic?

I suspect having reverse on a big motorcycle is a lot like microwaves, A/C and cruise control. You can go your whole life without that stuff with no problem. However, as soon as you get one there's no going back (pun intended). That's how I feel about heated seats in my truck. I'm never going back.

I was gonna make a smart ass comment about reverse on a motorcycle but I see the OP has a sidecar. Carry on......

Welcome to the forum AC. Nice to meet you.

If I could absolutely confirm the stock ECU would retune itself I'd seriously consider cutting out all the excess junk in the stock pipes. I want the performance and sound but I'm not willing to pay $2500-3000 for an aftermarket exhaust. Besides, I really like the look of the stock duallies on...

I have a Classic and the wind noise and buffeting are no better and no worse than any other stock windshield on other bikes I've owned. IOW, it's not perfectly smooth and quiet but it works for it's intended purpose which is to take the edge off cold and wet weather. If I want to travel in quite...

Ok. Dumb question. Why can't you just buy any brand of bar with the same diameter? Other manufacturers make beach bar style bars.

I might be interested in buying your Fastback. Keep me posted.

I noticed something about the feel of the clutch when I first rode my bike too but it's disappeared. I don't know when it disappeared and I don't even remember exactly what it was. When you described the clicking that sounded vaguely familiar except it was more of a clicking feel than an audible...

Before and after.

BMW was offering a $4K rebate/discount off MSRP if you bought a demo bike. In order for it to be considered a demo it had to have at least 200 miles on it. I don't know if it's still a current promotion. They also gave an additional $1K in accessories but I know for certain that promotion has ended.

Sorry for the duplicate pics. Operator error.......

Ok, here's a few pics. I've already done a little bit to make it my own. It started out as a base Classic. It isn't a First Edition (obviously). I had the cylinder head covers and the air intake covers powder coated gloss black. The company that did it nailed it. I know it's just black but they...

I REALLY like that two tone paint job. Very nice!
