Re: R nineT

I see BMW Motorrad just came out with price at $14,900.00 USD. Anti-theft option at $395.00.
Hmmmmmmm. I will go see them at my nearest dealer. My old airhead serves me well. Not

Looking for Battery-powered GPS Speedometer

Well, my airhead speedo is not at all accurate. I have an Iphone app. that gives accurate GPS-sourced speeds. However, have not found a mount I like for the Iphone.

Re: Twisted front fender r100rt

The mystery is solved for all who've lost sleep wondering about my crooked front fender. The culprit was the brake line.

Re: Twisted front fender r100rt

It's Twisted, Sister. My '86 R80 front fender is crookedy, too. I always appear to be running off the road when I look at it. Somewhat distracting to say the least. Might have a go at fixing mine also.
