    Front tire R18 FE (19"/ 120 wheel)

    I can't personally see an issue from the pic ... seems like normal wear to me.

    Exhaust Modified

    I'll admit that the only likely scenario where a louder exhaust helps me is when I'm passing through someone's blind spot. But you know what? That's another scenario where I mitigate my risk (of getting sideswiped). It's no different than moving over when approaching the crest of a hill. The...

    Front tire R18 FE (19"/ 120 wheel)

    I'm still on my original Michelin's but I'll have a closer look. What's wrong with the last pic (Ultra's)?

    Exhaust Modified

    100% my view as well but having said that, anyone in a car is not a threat to someone you can hear from 2 blocks away! It's all about "tone" and "character" for me not about "loudness".

    Bren Tuners: Let us hear what you think!

    I will agree on the worse fuel economy ... I'd guess about a half litre per 100km worse.

    Bren Tuners: Let us hear what you think!

    You know, I'm of the same thought (albeit I still have not removed the tune). I can't say there's much of a difference and in fact I think the DNA Stage 2 air filter was more noticeable than the tune itself (I did the tune first, ran bike with stock air filter, then did the DNA). Having said...

    Windshields For Sale

    These both work on the Classic's existing mounts? If so, I may take 'em.

    What did you do to your R18 today?

    They're actually supposed to be given to you by another biker (ie. you don't buy your own). Maybe give that one to a rider buddy and have him do the same to you?

    Welp..this happened

    Yikes. Guess the idea of grabbing a fire extinguisher, bucket of water, etc never occurred to you huh?

    Shark Road slip on with baffles removed.

    If you try that let me know but they sound fine as they are but you don't know what you may be missing right?

    Shark Road slip on with baffles removed.

    Try uploading to YouTube, then sharing the link to that.

    Updated rear shock

    Have you checked the tire pressures? Lowering them 2-3 psi from spec (36 fr 42 rear) will help.

    Is it possible to reset service warning

    What's the 'Cruising Lights' option?

    R18B TC Leg Shields/Memphis Shades MEM5804 Question

    They go on the front forks and you can mount them anywhere along them so there is some leeway as to there they can be mounted.

    Garage Door opener solution on R18 Classic

    Apple Watch I assume?

    DISTINGUISHED GENTLEMAN’s RIDE

    My cut-off is about 10 C.

    What did you do to your R18 today?

    No need to go through all of that when the plastic deflectors and mounting brackets are already available from Memphis Shades. You need this kit from a Yamaha XV1900 Roadliner (MEM5804-MEK1980). $105 USD...

    DISTINGUISHED GENTLEMAN’s RIDE

    Define "freezing" .... Normal here is 15 C. It's getting only up to 11 today.

    What did you do to your R18 today?

    Good way to keep you forward in the seat:

    Broad spectrum of bikes available.

    I've never owned an HD but yeah I can see that too. 2 cylinders right under the seat aren't ideal ... another reason I like the boxer layout.
