    Torque spec for head pipe bolts

    I am going to be reassembling my exhaust system this weekend. I ordered new gaskets but after looking at them it was probably a waste of money. They look like two SS pieces of flat sheet. BMW must rely on precision machining to make the seal. But I need the torque specs for the two bolts that...

    Saw my first Roctane

    I have to say that BMW nailed it with the new Roctane. The combination of stance and the metal finishes will make the bike stand out in the American cruiser market. And at the price point it is more than competitive with similarly equipped Harley and Indian models.
