Pauly Posted May 4, 2022 Report Share Posted May 4, 2022 I love not needing stands almost as much as I love having a driveshaft. I'd gladly trade once/year final drive service over regular chain and sprocket maintenance. Practicality and function are irreplaceable to a grumpy critical bastard like me. I'm surprised how easy to own the BMW happens to be. It's very maintenance friendly, yet requires very little maintenance. Of course, nothing expensive has broken yet.

max power Posted May 17, 2022 Report Share Posted May 17, 2022 It’s ridiculous what you have to do to reach the air cleaner on these things. Have you checked the valves yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

durk Posted May 30, 2022 Report Share Posted May 30, 2022 Did some seat modifications over the weekend to try to make Ame more comfortable. Test rode it with some friends at cruiser speeds. Definitely made an improvement that will work for now. Need to decide where I’m sending the OEM seat to (Day, Laam, Terry’s Custom). New shoes installed today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
