Thank you for finding this & posting, David!

If anyone has a similar issue, https://www.bmwlt.com/threads/front-whe ... st-1999677

It looks like I have to replace my damaged ABS/Speed sensor - does anyone happen to know where the non-wheel end will plug in? It's quite a long lead which disappears under the fairing & could plug in nearly anywhere.  I assume I have to disassemble half the bike but it would be nice to know in ...

Originally bought for an R1200RT, the same SpeedBleeders fit various model BMWs. Sealed in the original packaging, so obviously never installed, the prices shown are the original purchase price. $45 for all items shipped to ConUS from 70503 - saves roughly $25 ($10 + shipping + tax) All bleeders are...

When you mess up as frequently as I do...

Terrible, so I usually leave the excess 360L at at home, along with my fat non-typing thumb;)

Not a fan of bike cleaning or wire brushing anything, I'd rather be riding:)

Perhaps the difference is that I very rarely ride with the bags mounted. Just the 29L topbox for daily riding around, and the panniers and 409L topbox for longer trips.

2018RT - don't know about earlier models.

Also, if you have a Jurock screen, the mirrors fitted to the "pipe clamps" idea won't work as the stem fouls the screen.

And if you don't want an extra mirror, but do want a place to mount a RAM ball, these 'pipe clamps' as BMW calls them work perfectly.

Have you got any photos to show of your handy work? I want the Ilium rears but not available here in the UK that I can see Some parts for my RS are here https://www.advrider.com/f/threads/what-did-you-3d-print-today.1227179/page-67 , post 1340. The caps are very basic, attached. Its just a fun hobb...

When riding with sport riding friends, I usually leave the bags at home and remove the rear crash guards - they are there to protect my bags in the event of a low or zero speed drop, not to protect in the event of a lowside. When I remove the crash guards there is usually some light rust or discolor...

Thanks, Douglas - much appreciated.

Douglas, if it wouldn't be a pain, yes please!

Douglas, you are far better versed in this than I.  Can you exchange a UK licence for a Spanish one, including the motorcycle part? I know that US licenses cannot be so exchanged, but that a UK (picture-style) license can. I still have my old paper UK license so it might be time to change t...

I'm not sure you are completely right, otherwise you couldn't rent a bike or borrow a friends. I think the issue is the combination of residence, NIE, along with Spanish insurance and registration of the bike in the country.  Basically, all the normal pieces that fit together but lacking a ...
