    UPDATE: Made it home

    I bought a pair of these. Makes a huge difference. Easier to hear my built in helmet system.

    Wunderlich Gear Shifter extensions

    Ok I thought you swapped the location on the spine to allow more clearance. Not switched front to back. I have the classic so maybe not as much issue with the clearance. How do you find the rubber rings on the wunderlich extension I see you are running as the front one?

    Wunderlich Gear Shifter extensions

    Will do. Will also take a closer look at them tomorrow to see how robust they look. And upload a photo if I can show how thick they are. First impressions more solid feel than the standard ones I removed.

    Wunderlich Gear Shifter extensions

    I realised I should have taken a photo from the top to show the bigger difference. The front is slightly longer The rear is considerably longer

    UPDATE: Made it home

    The wife has a 540i and in the past I had a 530d. Bit worrisome first time you hit the electronic speed limiter especially if it is still pulling. When I did the European delivery on my 330i back when I was living in NJ I thought I killed it first time it happened just after I hit the magic...

    UPDATE: Made it home

    I have had BMW cars for the last 20+ years and they are not that inaccurate. Have occasionally hit the electronic speed limiter in my cars. 255 km/h so just shy of 160mph. And in Germany they can be pretty vocal if you don’t hit the actual speed. So I find about 5 km/h across the range. If it...

    UPDATE: Made it home

    Thanks for the advice. I have the wunderlich extensions I am going to put on. Also the front can be adjusted for shoe size. I think mine I set for a longer foot. I am reaching forward a lot. So will adjust when I install the extensions. Saturday task.

    UPDATE: Made it home

    UPDATE: Made it home

    Just completed the first longer ride. Adjusted the rebound before heading out and made a big difference. Very comfortable ride. Still getting used to it which will take a few more rides. Very happy with the decision to go for the change. Knees are good and the backside held up well. Overall...

    UPDATE: Made it home

    Thanks Cheshire Cat Just noticed your sign up date to the forum. Exactly the same date as the first registration date on my new ride! I see you have a short pipe. Like the look of the short pipe but want to keep the bags on the classic so will be staying long.

    UPDATE: Made it home

    Well that is not so easy to answer. First very different to my previous ride. Obviously stepping from a k1200S to this is a big step. But as I have not ridden in a while so that is also something to take into account. Smooth once into the right rev range. Will be a nice long distance bike. I...

    UPDATE: Made it home

    Yeah some great roads and diners up that way. Used to be my Sunday morning ritual. Up early jump on the then Kawasaki zrx and go in search of a diner for breakfast. Still have some good friends in the Somerset area. Unfortunately have not been to visit for some time
