Thanks for the info. I should have walked downstairs and looked at my own heat shield before typing! :oops: Eh, don't feel bad... ... you should have seen my reaction when I rode my new bike the 200miles home from the dealer, only to discover that the exhaust had a big dent in it! ' Grrr!!!! Then I...

Xaque, I did a little research and this is what I came up with. The causes of anaphylaxis are divided into two major groups: ... Non-IgE mediated : These reactions, the so called "anaphylactoid" reactions, are similar to those of true anaphylaxis, but do not require an IgE immune reaction...

You will need the allen wrench from the bike's tool kit that is appropriate for the screws around the fuel tank filler hole thingy... I forget exactly what size they are. And you will also need a small pair of pliars and a philips screw driver for installing the connector onto the bottom of the tank...

...One last thing. i appreciate the post made by Xaque however, I do not agree with this: "Well... someone needs to be introduced to an offending substance (bee, peanut, etc) at least once before they can have a severe allergic reaction." or this "This means that the very first time ...

Good questions! How about a crash course in the subject... shall we? Firstly, Benadryl and the "pen" of epinephrine (EpiPen) work in two different ways. To better understand their actions, lets review the reaction a body has to a bee sting. In it's most basic form, an allergic reaction is ...

I tried various Magnetic tank bags, but because of the shape of the tank, none of them felt very secure (to me).

And the SW Motech bags do not touch the tank anywhere... great if you are concerned about scratches.

It can be tough swinging your leg up and over, but I got used to finding a new method when I had my bike loaded up for a trip. The tail bag looks nice... I opted for a hard GIVI top case. I can leave it locked on the bike and park, not having to worry 'bout someone swiping my stuff (I ditched all my...

Mate, you are in luck! I have just chased up the same thing for my rockster. The luggage plate from the K1200GT (old model) with BMW's small (31 litre) top box fit straight onto the R1150R rear rack. Remember to order the lock kit and BMW touring badge for the top box if you go that way. Are you ta...

Actually, that's not my sig... those are the two photo's I picked out just for you! ;) They show the bag the best... (the subject of the shot wasn't my tankbag)... ...the "trip" is teeny... nice if you only have a wallet, cell phone... but a lunch... that'd be pushing it. The engage, altho...

The way that it was explained to me:

The reason why the pipes blue so fast is because they are single walled. Your other bikes, with nice shiny pipes have double walls.

So although our pipes may be blue, they are half (aprox) the weight of the others!

I wanted to add this to this post for future reference: I have both the "trip" and the "engage" The trip is tiny. I use it when I'm out cruising with some German automobile folks and I don't have my system cases on my bike. It's big enough for a wallet, cell phone, and the anonym...

http://www.twistedthrottle.com/trade/productview/1859/16/ I am giving serious thought to this product. Anyone out there own this and have any coments they would like to share? Thanks again, to all. Dwayne I have both the "trip" and the "engage" and LOVE THEM! When they are not o...

I was trying to find the part #'s for the BMW oem lowering kit the other day, and i had the parts guy at the dealer look it up... ...he came to the conclusion that it would be a no-go becuase to adequetly secure the can, I would have to buy a new exhaust "heat shield" to the tune of $250+ ...

If I get a chance, I'll make sure to both update all of us on his condition and let him know we're pulling for him. His right leg was broken in at least 2 places, and he had a signifigant cut under his chin. He was also having a hard time remembering the accident initialy, but this isn't that unusua...

Hi all... Two days ago a fellow Roadster rider was involved in an accident in my area. I work for a local Public Safety agency and it appears that he was attempting to pass a station wagon when it turned left infront of him. It was the middle of the day, and overcast with a very heavy rain. I am wit...

Um... I say honesty is ALWAYS the best policy.

Treat me with honesty and respect, you'll get it right back! (Unless you're a scumbag... )

A question regarding the Summer pants... I too was looking at them at the dealer recently. My understanding is that they are to be used as stand-alone pants. My question is; would using them as over-pants be completly out of the question? (Insofar as, I'm going to work and have uniform pants on unde...

Phil! I love rt 20! (sounds like we're in the same neck of the woods). There was one corner I came in way too hot once... but my MSF course kicked in. Looked where I wanted to go, NOT the guardrail Leaned And added throttle... I came out of that turn no problem! If I could have bought my machine a d...

I orriginaly was going to pay the dealer to do it, but when i showed up they said that they were too busy and I would have to leave my cases over night. No dice. So I went home, read the instructions on the links. And rekeyed my cases myself in >10min. Try it, you'll feel great about yourself! :wink...
