I think the quality is good. At least so far. Time will tell on the quality of the chrome and how it holds up. The fit is good. You re-use the factory BMW heat shield between the headpipes and the muffler body. The bracket Shark Road supplies takes a bit of finagling to get in place just right...
Just installed Shinko 777 Wide Whitewall tires and somewhat recently Shark Road mufflers. It's nice to find a few items a bit more "affordable" than nearly ALL the accessories for our beloved R18 bikes ! I only got right at 7k miles out of the original Michelins. These Shinko's were just over...
These weren't too bad on the install process, at least once I figured out the trick. I had to remove the heat shield, then loosen the muffler clamp and slide off the muffler. Then I had to take the two T50 bolts out to completely remove the hanger assembly from the bike. That hanger assembly...
They list them as available on their website. I am NOT affiliated with Shark Road, or any other entities, and am NOT trying to help sell these. Just sharing my experiences with fellow owners and enthusiasts. Here is the link to their page, and yes, they do list them for that application, but do...
I just completed installing my Shark Road slip on mufflers yesterday. Took about a 100 mile ride and really like them. The bike "feels" a lot happier with these mufflers. It is rumbly at idle and low throttle/part throttle, but has a nice growl when you twist the wick. A pretty fair value...
My right reflector fell off on the way home from the dealership when I bought the bike brand new - about a 65 mile ride. The replacement did the same at some point around 5500 miles, about a year and a half later. Dealer told me this is a REAL common malfunction. In both instances no chance of...
I was concerned as well. Certain phrasing, and European phrases and terms do not translate well. When I did it about 4 months ago, once I got over the odd terminology, I found it very much like any other credit card purchase online. R18HOLAN was very helpful, and responsive. They shipped quickly...
@R18Holan -What all comes with this rack ? The chrome cover and the black plate with the lock cylinder ? I really like the looks of the chrome rack, but would like it better if you could actually use it as a rack and have access to mount tie downs and such to lash things on. Also, does the black...
With my original mounting method (shown in previous posts on this thread) of the universal baseplate for my Hepco/Becker Orbit top case, I could not use my Corbin back rest in the passenger position. I needed to move the top case back exactly 3 inches. I bought a piece of 12'x24' 3/4" marine...
That looks great. It was a tough decision for me to decide between the Hepco & Becker and the Trekker TK52 like you installed. I think the Trekker is definitely a higher quality top case and the Givi mounts look like they are pretty nice, although I have never owned or used them. Thanks for...
The best pic I have of the luggage rack I currently have is in the initial post in this thread, above. I will provide better pics when I re-do the mount to move it 3" to the rear as mentioned in another response.
I'll try to get pics in the next day or so. The Hepco Becker top case came with their universal mounting plate that has lots of slotted openings on bottom. The bolts with fitted washers slip in from the top into the mounting straps that grip the luggage rack bars from the bottom. Almost infinite...
Except for the fact that by their own admission, the "vaccine" does not stop you from getting covid. Or from carrying it and transmitting it to others. Their only claim is that it "may" lessen the symptoms if/when you contract the illness. . . . . . . . some fine vaccine. It likely is radio...
Sorry for the loss of your friend. I think I'm finally on the mend, but still weak and not back to 100% yet. My Wife just came down sick a few days ago and got her positive test result today. I'm hoping it doesn't hit her as bad as it hit me.
