My condolences to you :( . It's not a fun experience, as you may have read that I just went through this last month. Be prepared to shell out between $1500 and $2400, depending on the extent of damage. I would highly suggest that when you take your bike in for service, ask the dealership to submit a...

Wow...my sig line was wrong for once

I thought they were from the 1150GS . Big help on cold days, two screws on each side, (bar end screw and bracket mount) and they're off or on.

Any trouble shifting from 3rd to 2nd? I hope not

I will hopefully have a batch of barbacks available very shortly. I know there were a few members who purchased a set from me a while ago. They will work with any bike that has 7/8" bars with 32mm spacing between the clamp holes. A website will be up in the near future. Heres some incentive for...

Ok.....think I'm soon going into business making custom parts/pieces. Just got my Incorporation/tax numbers and my name registered as a business "JodaTech". Have a few DBA's in the works, and I'm thinking the "bike" part of the biz is going to be "Joda Customz". I'm hop...

[quote="rbertalotto"]Just curious, why would you put the pipe back on and add weight for touring? My bike without the muffler is not much louder, just a different tone. But then again, I'm using a $20 Hedman Header Resonator tip. No issues while on the highway...........But I were ear plug...

I would of thought that the better option would be to ditch the cat and fit a Y pipe?

Some of us are cheap

Did you just get your bike repaired though?

Yes I did. I may have been flogging it a bit, but....everything seems to be ok.

How would i know they are lowballing my trade in, if they dont come right out and say they are giving me less because of the splines? What is a lowball amount?

For the rear, there is a big black knob you turn, left side of bike.

Fastest I could go with traffic was 70mph in 6th and was at around 3800 rpm.

Like you really need a horn in NY traffic?? Wuss...

I'll take a look today on my way home from work while on the slab.

I'm a little confused about something from a lot earlier in your story. If I'm reading things correctly, the BMW regional rep came out and denied coverage for the damage -- but the bike wasn't actually taken apart so there was nothing for him to inspect. Am I correct in this? If that's the case, th...

When I get the time, I make them myself, but never make enough, as people keep wanting to buy them and i get lazy

I took the bike out for a 900 mile jaunt this weekend. Everything seems to be running very well. I did however notice one difference from before. The bike seems to be geared higher now. I know the rocksters have a lower gearing than the R1150R's. But it seems to me that my Rock now has the same gear...

Let's meet up and get lunch this weekend. Somewhere in Amish country.

I'm going to Elk county or something in PA for some camping in the morning. How about we get some definate plans to meet up next weekend for lunch? Unless I can make it back Sunday afternoon sometime
