@HUNTS they actually work for me! The only thing I had to do was spread the tabs open a bit so they would fit tight inside the tube. If you look really closely, you can see a tiny color difference between the bike's chrome and this piece, but honestly, it’s so small that you barely notice it.

I’m Hey Hunts, since the mirror hole isn't threaded and is just smooth, I purchased these cheap push-in plugs on Amazon. I’m waiting for them to arrive today to see how the quality and finish look. Honestly, it’s such a small detail that I don’t want to spend too much just to plug the holes. If...

Hey everyone! I wanted to get your thoughts on both the looks and functionality of a little mod I just did. I decided to ditch the stock mirrors on my 2021 FE and replace them with some bar-ends. Since Wunderlich doesn't make their Montana mirrors for the R18 anymore, I picked up the...

@bdalameda I really appreciate you taking the time to take and share these photos! They are excellent and clearly show me exactly what I need to do. I already bought everything you recommended, and today two ramps arrived to help me get a bit more height before putting the jacks in. This weekend...

I got a visor for the SP Connect yesterday. I think it helps a bit but I’ll have to see what happens at high noon when the sun is beating right down on my head, because even with the visor and the anti-glare protector I might still not see a fucking thing 🤣.

Hey everyone! Quick question: I got the Black Widow jacks with saddles as @bdalameda suggested, but te bike is too low to slide them under with the saddles on. I need about 8cm of extra clearance. What are you guys using to lift the wheels before jacking it up? Are simple wood blocks enough or...

Hey @HUNTS! I’m currently installing the same engine housing cover. I ran into a bit of a snag: I removed the screws from the BMW logo, but it seems like it's glued to the original chrome cover. I don't want to mess it up, so I wanted to ask… how did you get yours off to access the screw behind...

Thank you @bdalameda for sharing your expertise in this matter 😉. I really appreciate the info. I ended up buying two Black Widow jacks instead of the Vevor ones because they reach a bit higher. Also, thank you so much for the tip about the lifting points and the bolts; I was originally going to...

Thank you my friend. I put my phone on the floor and took this photo of the front-bottom of my engine. Just to be 100% safe before I buy anything, are these the threaded holes you are using for the bolts? Also, I’m looking at the jack you recommended, but I’m a bit confused about the height. The...

Hey @bdalameda, that’s a clever setup! I really appreciate you sharing the details. I’ve been checking out the link you sent, and I’d love to see how those M10 bolts look on the engine and how they lock into the jack. If you have a couple of photos of that, and maybe one of the whole bike up on...

I’m still on the fence about the sidestand (kickstand). I’ve seen that the part numbers are different (FE is ...1317 and Classic is ...9212), but looking at the diagrams and photos, they look almost identical. Has anyone done this swap keeping the original First Edition sidestand? I don't want...

@Manhattan Matte, that’s actually my favorite jacket! I went to the dealership to try it on last month and the quality and cut are just spectacular. Regarding the fit: I usually wear an XL in regular clothes, but for this one, the XXL was the sweet spot for me (not too tight, not too loose, just...

Hey @HUNTS, not to be a bad influence or anything, but they have the all-black kit in stock... and it would look absolutely killer on your bike. Just saying! 🤣💸

Just received my RSD floorboard kit and it looks spectacular! I’m currently waiting on the Classic mounts and hardware so I can install everything on my First Edition. If anyone is interested, this kit is on closeout at BMW Motorcycles of Grand Rapids for $284!

Hey guys, I’m 60, had spinal surgery, and currently have a herniated disc. My "bending over" days are officially over, but I have a mountain of accessories to install and I want to do it myself. What I need: • A lift, jack, or dolly to get the bike about 24 inches (60 cm) off the ground. •...

That fender extender @Mac mentioned is definitely worth checking out to see how it looks!

Hey @HUNTS That subdued black logo on the helmet looks very cool! I think we have the same Halcyon MK 49 goggles? Those goggles look really vintage and cool! Thanks for telling me about the emblems. I’ll do them in the order you said.

Thanks a lot for the help, everyone! I’m going to keep the cylinder projectors fixed and won't mess with them. I also didn't know the screws were aluminum, so thanks for that info! I won’t over-tighten them now, I'll just do it enough and use some blue Loctite. I'm just waiting for the 45mm BMW...

Hi everyone, I recently purchased these Cylinder Head Protectors and the Front Engine Housing Trim Cover (RSD style) from AliExpress. To be honest, I am quite impressed. The CNC Machined finish and overall build quality are surprisingly good considering the price point. I have seen many members...

Hey @Zero-FG. Sorry to bump your post, but your setup is super helpful and really clear. I’m actually in the process of getting some auxiliary lights and the bar from a Classic to put on my 2021 First Edition. I saw that the connector is tucked away under the gas tank, so I’m definitely taking...
