Re: Chicago BMW customer service?
Not a happy customer here also.
I have an outstanding order since 10/19 for an oil filter, crush washer,nut and wave washer. Needless to say I purchased the filter and crush washer elsewhere and don't need the nut and washer yet. My business will be going elsewhere from now on.

Re: Tire pressure?????????
I don't know if this applies to street riding but here goes. I attended a CLASS training course at VIR a month ago. The instructors there said your tire pressure should increase about 10% when the tires are up to temp. I weight about 180 with gear and through trial and error 34F - 38R seemed to work...

Re: Helllllllllp needed with tire change.
A small C clamp loosely tightened with a piece of leather or heavy rubber to protect the rim also works well for keeping the top bead from creeping around the rim.

Re: R1150R For Tall Guy
I'm 6'1" with a 34' inseam. I have a Sargent seat and use a dead sheep also. In the beginning it was a little uncomfortable but my old body has adapted to it.
As you stated there are numerous options to make it more comfortable.

If all else fails, I have a hot wrench that will get it off. You are only about 45 minutes from me and I would gladly help you out.
