Motolights

Motolights

I have a friend who has Motolights... I end up leading because they don't like to, especially at night. What I find is that they're dang ANNOYING to be in front of at night.

Motolights

I have recently installed Motolights on my r1150r and find them to be very effective during the day as well as the night.

What about 3rd party windshields? Are there any that are better than the BMW windshields? I have the touring windshield on my 2004 R1150R and I am not particularly impressed with it. I get a ton of wind noise and buffeting especially on the highway.

Kisan Signal Minder SM-5

I'm new to 1150 R and have purchased a SignelMinder. I do not have a shop manual so I do not know where to install it. The SignalMinder instructions are a little lacking. Thanks.
