    Setting the proper preload for the rear suspension

    First time I’ve had to compare notes. I’m experiencing the same with willingness to make adjustments. My dealer had the setting at 4 turns. First thing I learned was to put a mark on the adjuster after feeling resistance from full counter clockwise. I started with 8 full turns, and am at 10 now...

    What did you do to your R18 today?

    I like your setup. The Guzzi Loop Frames run forever, and handle great. Stopping takes some planning. I have Moe at Cycle Garden lined up to put a double disc conversion on the 72.

    Setting the proper preload for the rear suspension

    Great info. My dealer moved it a few turns… Based on my weight, I have a few to go.

    Period correct roundels with brass lettering, brass screws.

    ….My bike is parked at the neighbors. The box is safe in the closet. My game plan is to install the Brown Day Rider, Vintage Roundels, and Passenger back rest. Positioning as “I bought this for us…”

    BMW incentives

    That's super interesting, thinking that through. BMW goes out and ties up RSD and Mustang, uses their trademark and branding, but neither can stock their own product. BMW, the organization, can't find their ass with both hands distribution wise with their dealer network, or their parts program...

    Big miss. That said, a lot of bike for the money.

    39 for me, but I’m still learning to ride in the sweet spot. I’ve been enjoying 5th gear at 70 MPH and 6th at 80MPH on the Freeway. Roll Mode, Cruise On…

    I like the Corbin Bags/Fairing and seat combination. I'm going to pull the trigger on a Brown DayRider from Revzilla. I'm surprised BMW does not have a better handle on the opportunity costs associated with not having their accessory game up to speed. Roland Sands site is a mess. Mustang isn't...

    BMW incentives

    Hi all. To follow up. My dealer contact advises that the DEMO allowance will support +- 6% of the MSRP NET OF the Destination Fee. It's not a given that all of that demo allowance will be credited to the Purchaser. For those that are looking to leverage incentives for models that may not be on...

    I’m in. Took delivery yesterday. Earl Swagger.

    Revzilla only has the brown seat in stock. 599. I want to ride, and know the "Usually 1-2 weeks" means "six weeks." Might take one for the team and get a brown Day Rider. I noticed a brown seat in the Media section. Looks doable. Thoughts?

    Correct Sir. This is a snap from the Quarterly Incentives that aren't Classic or First Edition. I'll get some better visibility on the demo program.
