    UK Motorcycle Insurance

    My insurer LV will no longer be offering Motorcycle Insurance going forward. My current policy expires September. Any particular recommendations anyone? Currently paying £220.00 fully comp for 3000 miles. When I called around last year, quote was similar from the likes of Bikesure, Bennett’s, etc.

    BMW Motorrad Mk6 Navigation system with US mapping

My cousin is based outside Ft Worth TX and for anyone with a wired up GS, this might prove a good buy @ circa 500 USD. PM me if...

    Handlebar position

    Anyone else feel they would benefit from handlebar position being a little further back? Would risers help alleviate stiff shoulders following time in the saddle?

    Innovv dash cam

    Anyone installed a dash cam system as yet? Finding somewhere for the control unit is proving a challenge. Very limited room under the seat and that area is still exposed to dust and water ingress and is very close to the shock absorber.

    Exhaust popping on overrun / deceleration

    Recently noticed some popping from exhaust on deceleration. Not complaining just wondering if this is a characteristic of the engine. Less than 300 miles from new so will bring up at first service.

    R18 lean angles
