So I'm selling my house and moving into an apartment. As a result, the bike will remain outside. Along with the standard accessory plugs, I had wiring directly connected to the battery terminals for heated gear. Can I use the plugs or direct wiring to jump or charge the bike if the battery runs...

How about this one? Anyone have experience with this? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08ZVT3YS9/ref=ppx_od_dt_b_asin_title_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Hey all, Selling the house and downsizing into an apartment. Need a good 4 season cover for the harsh winters of the north east. recommendation? John

Yea, I was impressed too the first time I rode in the heat. I thought for sure I would feel the heat coming off the cylinders. For the life of me after all these years, I don’t understand why Harley has never found a way to manage the heat coming off the rear cylinder. The last Harley I owned...

Yea my Harley Street Glide and Ultra Limited use to burn my right thigh when sitting idle in traffic. I use to HATE that. I lost lots of weight so my thighs not as big anymore so maybe less a problem now. Seems my R18B manages heat fine. I barely feel it while idling. I don't get stuck in...

This is what I was thinking of doing…

The couple of times I used it was more work then pushing back myself. Maybe i will use it more when I get into my 60s who knows. I do agree on hill hold though! Love that and now I have adaptive cruise control I can’t live without it. if you never had it you wont miss it. John

Where are you all mounting your transponders? John

Brought her in for the first service today and dealership has venture heat liners. https://www.ventureheat.com/collections/motorcycle/products/mens-motorcycle-heated-jacket-liner-bluetooth-compatible?variant=40459826495650 Figured since the battery is buried, if they can install the wiring while...

Ok are you messing with me or do you really mean that? LOL

So am I the only one who can't go more then a mile without the connection getting interrupted? I blame the antenna, anyone even know where it is? John

Hi All, I been trying to understand the issue with connectivity as it relates to my BMW R18B. I made some observations that I am able to reliably reproduce. I'm connecting an iPhone 13 (Latest iOS) along with Cardo 4x (Latest firmware). I believe my bike is running the latest firmware update...

Ok, checked out the Warm & Safe. I’m leaning towards the layered heated shirt. At 3.5amp this may be all I need. i don’t really like driving in the truck unless I don’t have a choice because of ice or snow. I will layer with the shirt and see if my heavy winter gloves plus grip heaters and seat...

So if the plug is limited to 5amo I assume the shirt would be an option at 3.5amp without a need for modification? Someone mentioned the BMW branded vest not worth the investment? What did you not like about it?

So I’m in the market to buy some heated winter gear. I was hoping to use the accessory plug located low on my R18B. I was watching a video on Revzilla and they are saying not to use that plug. They are saying wire directly to the battery...

I ride all year around so I plan to stick to the manufacture recommendation.

I ordered same backrest as yours and the luggage rack. Im leaving on vacation in 6 weeks. I hope I can get them in time.

Backroads mostly with lots of shifting. I like to stay right around 2,500 RPM. Some days I’m in a bad mood and riding like I stole it. Others Im just cruising around at A leisurely pace. I’m only on my second tank but so far. 41.6 mpg average via onboard computer. 15% ethanol mix. 11 miles...

On second thought, stopped working again today. Wow BMW connectivity really sucks. Take that out and the rest of the bike is awesome.
