This reminds me of a trip I took a while back to see a beautiful R1150GS that was for sale about an hour away. The seller had already backed the bike out of the garage and had gone over it before my arrival. After introductions, we walked up to the bike --he stopped, took a gasp, and said...

I am naked on all R bikes except for the GS models.

Great photo!

What did I do? Spotted mine on Google Street View! :geek:

And that said ... I am the same animal. I am currently considering a Bagger in place of my Classic --and I must agree that there has never been a better time to be a motorcyclist. So many great bikes available today! My head spins!

The Arai praise is certainly well deserved, but good heavens are they HEAVY!!!

Yes. I routed mine outside of my new tracker handlebars. Though they were milled for internal routing, the exits were under the control mounts. Rather than re-mill them appropriately and risk weakening them, I went this route. Before changing the handlebars out I had wrapped the wiring in its...

I would not call the stock one ugly. In fact, it is better looking than any replacement I have yet seen.

I was not in the market for one, but did admire them from afar while at my dealership of record. When the deals started flowing last year, I popped on a FE R18C for 15 and change. The big thing for me was CC and the front wheel --the panniers, lights, and shield were just gravy. For the price...

Well, no particular “choice,” but with only the tins being BSM, there is a lot of POB (plain old black) on the bike. The cylinders are POB, so that made sense. The rear caliper was also POB, ergo the front … POB. Same with the crossbar to match the handlebars. Other than that, the calipers and...

That is for sure when dealing with typical BM clientele and especially with the MOA Oldsmobile Owners Club Bingo Night mentality. All the bitching and moaning and they’re all missing an absolutely great bike. 🤷🏼‍♂️ Meh, more for us.

Black, black, and more black!

I have mine mounted in the same location as R2K using those part numbers. If they’re too tight, slide the clamp apart where it is keyed together and move it to suit and slide back together. As I recall, I had to move mine to the “widest” or last lost.

That looks like another Jurassic Park installment is forthcoming! 🥸

Well, we do ride motorcycles, so there's that. 🤷‍♂️

SOLD!

Classic. I guess BM assumed it would not bother anyone? 🤷‍♂️

Duplicolor Ceramic for high heat. Claimed as gloss, but definitely sat down as more of a satin to a matte. If I do it over again, I'd use the Duplicolor Caliper paint that I used on the calipers --it has a nice smooth, satiny sheen to it.

Oh! And I swapped out my brown Day Rider for a black one. I was going to get a Cross Country, but it turns out it is a one piece saddle with a faux split between the rider and the pillion!
