    Thanks. Was playing around making some small keychain gifts out of 1.3mm bicolor plastic and tried the red on black. Will try it on the bike over the coming days when a bit warmer. with wind chill -7 centigrade at the moment. And have to mess about to get to the left side of the bike to try...

    Emblem for Left Side Cover

    Recently purchased a desktop CNC machine and still on a steep learning curve but thought Hey I could make something for that. Trying to decide on what to add in the center wither a BMW roundel or something a bit R18 unique. So found the engine image which I think is iconic R18 and engraved...

    to chinese or no to chinese

    As mentioned previously. The quality is stipulated by the price willing to be paid. This is true no matter where the product is made.

    Actually you get the quality you pay for irrespective of where the product is manufactured. When buying cheap alternatives there is always a reason for them being cheap. Sometimes they may even be rejects from the "real" production line. In a previous life I worked for a German company and we...

    New BMW R18B

    A truly amazing area for riding. But I must admit I have not been there since I spent some weeks on exchange at Fort Old back in '88 working on Blackhawk's. But loved the area and always wanted to make it back someday but so for not fortunate enough to visit.

    the 3D Printed pieces look great. Still working on getting the desktop CNC. would you be willing to share the 3D file? Either STL or STP? The desktop CNC offers some different options. Of course can mill out of an aluminum blank but there are also some interesting 2 Colour plastics and also...

    Setting the proper preload for the rear suspension

    I did the same with mine. And the improvement was very significant. I bought mine used and was told by the dealer they don’t adjust. Sounds like your riding weight is similar to mine. What I have noticed is that I don’t notice a big difference when either my wife or daughter jump on...

    Not convinced on the use of a 3D printed plastic. They are more useful for short life objects. I understand that there are a lot of different materials available but just a word of caution. I am currently looking at a 4 axis desk top CNC machine that could do that in metal. Just need to...

    Discrete Camera's for R18 Classic Front and Rear?

    OK So I have the same unit sitting in the garage waiting to be installed. Have been procrastinating just because running cables is a PITA. But you have inspired me and will get it done this week. Hopefully! My plan is to mount the front camera under the headlight. Will share pics when complete.
