    R18 Louvered Performance Plates

    You will notice an increase in engine sound when stopped ... I wear Loop ear plugs so it's not that noticeable for me but if you don't I think you'll hear more "clatter".

    R18 Louvered Performance Plates

    Never heard of that but it'd work. "The Frogzskin Mesh repels water, dirt, dust, etc. while still allowing air to flow freely. This patented technology is displayed in the image to the left. The Frogzskin Mesh is a woven polyester material. It is also hydrophobic, meaning it will repel water...

    Nice list of goodies there. I already have most of what you list but I'd be curious on the " short black windshield with black frame". Is that a direct fit on the Classic? Post or send me some pics if yes. Thanks

    R18 Louvered Performance Plates

    If he can somehow get a filter on those it'd be best so bugs and dirt don't end up inside.

    R18 Louvered Performance Plates

    I thought the same too ... some old flat K&N air filter (cleaned & re-oiled) or similar cut to size would work I'd think.

    R18 Louvered Performance Plates

    Thinking further along these lines ... you know maybe this product may in fact help as opposed to hinder based on my initial thoughts and here's why. Having the airflow across these plates and pulling the air out of the intake area would normally be a bad idea if it was a closed system but it's...

    RockBob Sprung Saddle for standard fender

    You know there's a company that makes a springer kit for the Triumph Bobber that's a must-have apparently for comfort. Instead of a visible spring under the back of the seat they put a hidden spring under the front on a custom perch of theirs.

    R18 Louvered Performance Plates

    My issue with these plates is this: When you're moving, the airflow OVER those plates is in fact sucking air OUT from the inside. I doubt you'll see any improvement on a dyno unless factors are being played with but unfortunately a dyno is with the bike stationary so will not be realistic. I...

    transcontinental took home a new 2024

    I appreciate those that deal with those LiFePO4 limitations to save a few pounds but I'll just stick to the old standard lead acid for now.

    What did you do today?

    Where'd you find those and wonder if they'd fit a Classic?

    Am I the only one that wears a 3/4 open face helmet with sunglasses here? Something like this:

    My TransCon topcase will not stay open!

    You may have to call the dealer Parts Dept. In the end, it may be a better option to look for an aftermarket strut that would fit if you worry about it happening again as I'm sure the BMW one will be overpriced.

    SiriusXm

    I've had SiriusXM in my car for years and this is the first I've heard of them offering a weather function ... what channel would that be on??

    Need Help R18 TC - weird resonance from engine guard / leg protection at 2700-2900 RPM - anyone else?

    Is it possible that it's coming from the engine? Maybe check the valves to ensure they're in spec.

    Ride height on base model

    The speedo reads low by about 6 or 7 km/h for me so that'd make it more accurate.
