    Handlebar Risers not seating

    So I ordered a set of risers from Ali Express. I had ordered several things from one of the shops on there previously and have been very happy with the quality so far. I put on these risers and they dont quite seat all the way. The bars are very tight and wont move. I even accidentally set the...

    So glad I have crash bars!!

    So we had some really nice weather on Sunday so the wife and I decided to take a good ride. After stopping for gas I realized I turned the wrong way out of the gas station and turned onto a side street to make a U-turn. The road was a slight incline which led to the incident. I was halfway...

    BMW Stop Sale

    BMW Motorrad has issued a stop sale on all petrol powered bikes. I got an email from my dealer about it. Some speculation online seems to think its emissions related which means a big recall could be coming soon.

    Clearwater Lights Install

    I ordered a set of clearwater lights and tried installing over the weekend. I have a standard R18 so no Wonderwheel and got the kit for that.

    Wunderlich US prices

    600 mi service

    My R18 currently has 350 miles on it. I am trailering the bike up to Sturgis today to catch the rest of the rally. Now I am sure I am going to hit 600 miles while up there. Should I be worried about going past 600 miles? There is a BMW dealer in Sturgis, so should I try to at least get the oil...

    Driving lights recommendations

    Like the title says, looking to add some driving lights. Mainly to make myself more visible to other drivers. Im thinking mounting them on the crash bars may be the easiest option. Any recommendations that arent crazy expensive. Probably sticking with LED so they match the headlight.

    SLR Tune?

    I see many people talking about the Brentune, but I havent seen any others talked about. SLR has gotten good reviews for other BMW bikes and they do offer a tune for the R18. Their tune is a little cheaper as well. Has anyone on here tried their tune?

    Greetings from St Louis

    Hello everyone! Just picked up this 23 R18 in Galaxy Dust Met. This is my 3rd BMW. I currently also have a 2003 R1200CLC. I have already ordered a new Corbin seat, Crash bars, Lidlox bar end helmet locks, and a Puig batwing faring. More to come I am sure.
