WooHoo !! My Christmas present to myself came today ... yes I know a bit late .... but sooooo worth it! The fender is made by Klock Werks (click for link) in South Dakota ... and it is the 'Henry' Style and it was painted by The Factory Match (also click for link) also in South Dakota. It took a...

Well it is time for a little Arts & Crafts again ... 'R18 100' posted an interesting solution for lower wind deflectors from Memphis Shades (click for link) ... but me being me, I didn't like the Polycarbonate Plates that they offer, so I decided to make my own. I did order the brackets ...

Hello and first off I hope I am not breaking a forum rule here ... but judging from a lot of posts people may have a Harley in their staple as well. A few years back I made some 'Twin Cam' derby covers for a guy ... then got into a pissing match with him and told him to take a flying leap ...

I am in the process of changing my engine oil ... and got to thinking, that this may be a good topic to put towards the forum. Ever since I had bikes (and that is a long time!) I change the engine and transmission oil and at the same time and grease and adjust the chain ... well with the BMW I...

... first notion ... I should not post drunk .. but wtf ;) Howdy folks ... what do you do on a Friday evening after corporate takes off the shackles? Well, I am sitting here on my back porch listening (very loud) to one on my playlists (named 'Piss off the Neighbors) that starts with the best...

Looks like I am at it again. Rear brake this time. They have now 12,000 miles on them and are not through yet, but the old pads will make great emergency spares ;) ... so here I go: I ordered a set of EBC FA749HH pads ... that is the model EBC references for the R18 I took off the saddle bag...

Hello all, I am looking for a set of take-off mirrors for the FE or Classic p/n Left 0151168414767 and Right 0251168414768. I like the OEM mirrors ... just not in Chrome ;) If anybody has a set that they took off and want to part with them ... pm me. Thanks!

Hello all ... I am completely striking out here ... BMW offered at one point different turnsignals (at this time I am looking at the front ones) some that were called mini and then some other ones. I can't seem to find them anymore. I was hoping for some sort of plug-and-play option to replace...

Well look what came in the mail from MAX BMW 😃 ... and it came really fast considering they are on the other end of the country ... at this time a big shout out to them, they always come through for me!! Now ... this needs to go there So first I looked around and found some instructions...

I need a new tire ... that Michelin is starting to really go to $hits So I ordered me a Metzler 'Cruisetc' same size as the C3 120/70 R 19, then I looked at the manual and low and behold there is instructions and torque numbers !! Hurray So ... into the wheel chock she goes and the scissor...

Does anybody happen to know what the designation of the Fuses is that are used on the FE/Pure/Classic? I know there is a very large 50A and then 3 smaller ones (7.5, 10 and 15A) but I would like to know what the 'style'/'type' is called. I am trying to put together a road-pack ... and IMO spare...

Hello all ... just probing to see if there is even any interest, I belong to another forum that deals with old Harleys and once in a while folks actually physically get together ... I was wondering if here would be any interest in something like that here. I sure would love to meet some of you...

So ... Scott did already a fantastic job on all that .. but I figured I throw another one on top, the more the merrier ;) Today's fun activity ... Transmission oil change! First off I have upgraded my setup a bit .. it now includes a wheel chock ... it helps a lot when doing this because the...

Wow ... now that I look at that subject line ... that sure sounded different in my head :LOL: ... what I meant is the spline lube for the recall. I finally got mine done and I have to say it was a rather anti climactic experience ... spray turn spray turn spray ... wait 15 minutes and done. Here...

I was thinking (that is where the trouble usually starts) .. on the BMW side there have been Air-Heads, Oil-Heads, Chrome-Heads, Hex-Heads, Cam-Heads, Wet-Heads and who knows what else .. and I am not going to mention the 'Flying Brick' ... not a 'Boxer' ... and on the Harley side Flat-Heads...

You are a stand-up-guy and a man of your word!! It will be my great pleasure (if you ever make it to my neck-of-the-woods) to treat you to some Oregon hospitality and some of these very fine brews we have around here. Thank you !!

Howdy ... well I hit the 6000 miles on the weekend and thought it is time for that valve job / oil change and I thought I share that with you. Just to head this off at the gate, this is the way I do it to MY bike, what you do to yours and/or if you prefer to have a dealer/mechanic do it is...

First off, I not 100% sure if this is the correct category ... but it is some sort of 'Modification'. Anyway, I ride without my windscreen most of the time and the holes for the windscreen frame and the one in the center fastener/cover annoyed me a bit. So I came up with the idea to 3D print...

I am sure most of you have this ... but for the people that don't have it yet, here is a link to the BMW Factory Riders Manual (click the words to access the link). I found this manual pretty helpful for torque specs, fluid level/fill amounts, maintenance schedules and in locating things. Maybe...

Greetings ... I figure I should say hello ... well, Hello :) This is my ride ... barely 5k Miles on the counter so far ... and loving it. 2021 First Edition with a few custom bits.
