These are a damn good screen, if I hadn't bought a new one I'd be all over this

While I don't have any experience with Hillltop or any of their products there was a time a few years ago in a K1600 FB group of which I was a member, when a lot people were raving about this Hilltop remap for the K1600 that was all singing and dancing, did the ironing etc, so a lot more people had ...

I stopped buying expensive helmets years ago and before anyone asks I DO have a ten bob head

No experience with any of the above but I have been bothered for years about the fact that if you buy a helmet and it's noisier that you'd like, what can you do about it? Shouldn't they have a small wind tunnel at the shop you can stick your head in?

I counted the dead insects on the screen. Lost count after 160. 2 were on top of each other. The underneath one was still wiggling its legs. Thought sorry for it so squashed it. I also checked the engine oil. Didn't use a drop. Not bad as i was traveling most of the time between 90/100mph 8-) excep...

Hello and welcome. What area of the UK are you looking?

Congratulations on your new bike! I have no tips other than what your manual will tell you. I have only had two brand new bikes and there were in the early 80's, strangely enough I found the rusted, dented tank from one of them in my dads shed a couple of weeks ago.

If you have any sticky back foam draught excluder strip knocking about in the garage try that

Have you tried not raising the screen as much? Asking for a friend...

A quick couple of questions. Cleaning up my new to me R1250 2019 I took the screen off. It is the BMW original standard screen. I noticed that it looks like the previous owner has over tightened the screws as three of the holes have stress cracks 😳 so new screen incoming I guess. The question is ar...

Just don't forget to install the windscreen wipers

Dry is the real reason I wanted one - I had a GL1800 a few years back that the previous owner had installed a manually operated wiper! Typical that you want rid or your screen after I buy a new one

I had the Wunderlich Marathon arrive today, fitted and a quick spin out and I agree about the distortion but I can put up with it for the way it keeps the airflow off my shoulders. The big test will be how much rain it diverts around me. I bought the bike with the silly sports screen that diverts al...

We were snapped by some geezer in Wales last week or maybe the week before, I think it was somewhere near the Horseshoe pass and that Ponderosa place which we stumbled upon by accident but we didn't stop.

I turned mine off as soon as I got it
