Has anyone seen this movie? Has numerous old BMW motorcycles! I can't say the model or year but Its pretty cool! The scenes were to be in Russia. Vertical singles or twins, fishtail mufflers, pinstriped black fuel tanks.

Does anyone actually have one of the NOCO NLP30 lithium batteries in their R18? NOCO claims it fits in ETX30 space(stock battery). But I notice slight differences in size measurements. If not NOCO NLP30, what lithium battery do you have in your R18?
My spare key came with a tag attached with a number on the back. Is that for spare key replacement purposes? Can a locksmith do it? or is it for some other purpose???

Has anyone tried these front pegs from Amazon, seller is TCMT? The ad says they fit Transcontinental Model but they clearly wouldn't. They look just right for my '21 Classic. Words of wisdom? Amazon is usually great for returns. Plus they appear to swivel!
