New to the group. My first BMW. I put 700 miles on it so far and I am becoming very accustomed to heel-toe shifter (after I adjusted it) and the infotainment. I really like the BMW app and it connects automatically when I start up the bike. Only thing I haven’t figured out is how to get the audible gps direction to call out in miles and feet instead of kilometers and meters. Not a big deal, but if anyone knows how to fix this, I would appreciate it.

Took a few years, but here we are...

Key features:

Seat is a NOS /2 Pagusa
Tool kit is a repro WWI German gas mask can

Final mods in the works:

- repro /2 headlight mounted mirrors
- Laser engraved custom engine badges
- Laser cut front fender license plate (a la /2)
- (hopefully) swapping the headlight bucket for a Rocktane bucket with inset speedo

Man I love this. Gives me a steampunk vibe. Nice work. Labor of love obviously.
