A Bluetooth OBD-ii device can be had for less than $100. The pro version of the needed Motoscan app is like $30. If you’re already on an android device, that’s all you need (won’t run on iPhone). If you need an android device, add that cost. You can use a $35 Amazon fire tablet if you side load...

US owners are awaiting word of a compensation offer. I wouldn’t be shocked if there isn’t one.

Recall just hit the US BMW site. They’re gonna do just like everywhere else: unhook it until there’s a permanent remedy available.

I just got these boots (click) delivered today and rode about 25 miles on my cafe racer with em. Feel good, look good, priced good. I ended up with a half size down from my sneaker size. They’re another option that aren’t gonna cover high up like the Icons, but these are good looking with...

Luxury, baby!

I’m not sure how different the foot setup is across the R18 family, but I TRIED to clunk my legs into the intakes on my B while out yesterday and I couldn’t! You must really be sending it!

Oh no kidding?? I’m always suspicious of the “no name” stuff, but yeah, it’s not like BMW has a dedicated factory churning out the bags. It makes sense. Do you have a photo of yours and or a link to an eBay set? Thanks in advance!

I’m getting out tomorrow for a longer second ride with the Klock Werks shield. My first ride had me really impressed, but I didn’t go too far or too fast. Tomorrow will give me a better idea. I hope it hold up with what I experienced the first go.

Oof. Different in the states. Your warranty can’t be voided if you perform your own maintenance.

I think you can get one Roland Sands mirror. 😂 Yeah, kind of a dismal offering if it’s not even BMW bucks in general, but has to be specific to the R18. Maybe an option 719 seat? The case liners (which have been pretty useful!)? But if you’ve already got what you want, that compensation is...

Welp, the 1st has come and gone. Looks like the timing of the reverse recall seems to have pushed the reveal. Makes sense, but I was curious!

3 years of free servicing might make it worthwhile. I've used reverse exactly 3 times in a year, so if they wanna do my maintenance here in the US for three years to put me out of reverse, I might be into that. The other deal I've heard, of $1000 in BMW Bucks, doesn't sound as attractive...

The latter part of next year?? That's.... a long time.

No one knows jack, really. I’d assume if both bikes use the same unit that it’d be impacted also, but I’ve got no idea if it’s the same reverse module.

I saw people liking them too, but I’m always won over by the bad reviews! Which then makes it realllly difficult to make a decision.

Also, came across a comment on the R18 Bagger group on Facebook that stated something about the reverse issue being related to possible liquid entry into the module leading to corrosion and possible shorting or failure. This is similar to what I was told by my selling dealer’s shop manager, so...

For what it’s worth, owners of 2024 Road Glides have just been notified of a recall concerning a wiring harness issue that can lead to shorting of the electrical system. Article here. While I don’t know what actions or communication preceded the official recall notice, we’re certainly not alone...

I probably ride like an elder at this point. Never came up against the intake or the heads. But yeah, not sure what boot would protect that high up that’s not an ADV or racing type boot. Your Elsinores are probably the best boot for the job. Just adjust the shifter a tooth and you should have...

to the point that you're bruising? How hard you riding that thing??

Never. Doesn’t seem like my shins come into any contact with the heads to any noticeable degree. But again, I’ve got a heel toe shifter, so that may play to my advantage here.
