    Akra End Can

    Have you opened the flapper valve and installed a servo buddy with the oem can? It could give you the additional grunt your looking for down in the low revs. Most of the noise suppression is before the can so changing it wouldn't make too much of a difference imo. Sent from my SM-G986B using...

    New road marking for bikers

    Agreed, they're not at the limits enough and just introduce additional slippy paint at the parts you should be riding on. Still, it's better than nothing for those who don't know. Sent from my SM-G986B using Tapatalk

    Hazards

    Stops someone coming up and switching them on draining your battery for no reason. Sent from my SM-G986B using Tapatalk

    Hazards

    Perhaps deliberate if you have to walk away from the bike at a breakdown? Sent from my SM-G986B using Tapatalk

    Tail tidy

    I just went out to the garage to get you some pics. There's also a YouTube video of a guy who installed it in America. https://youtu.be/H3B5HitVWoM If you go for it then I'd suggest you get some clear silicone sealant to put into a hole where the circuit board is exposed. I found out that...

    Tail tidy

    I went with the FuturisMoto tail tidy https://futurismoto.com/collections/bmw-s1000rr/products/2020-s1000rr-tail-tidy Really sleek and fits the lines of the bike well. Uses same connectors as BMW so no splicing required. Pricey but great quality. Sent from my SM-G986B using Tapatalk

    Gen 4 Sport

    I had the M sport seat, really didn't like how hard it was so I got a seat maker to shave it down and replace with gel and memory foam. Great improvement and you can't see the difference. Sent from my SM-G986B using Tapatalk

    Brand new S1000RR M sport

    I did it myself although it can be a real pain if you haven't done it before. It took me 8 hrs to do a full kit. Sent from my SM-G986B using Tapatalk

    Brand new S1000RR M sport

    Get yourself some ppf and rad guards ASAP. Prevention is better than cure. You're also rev limited until the first service (600 miles) so just use it as normal to run it in, as long as it's not all motorway it'll do the job itself.

    Seat choices?

    I had gel and memory foam put into my m seat. I don't do track days so it's all about the comfort, great improvement. Had I been able to get the normal seat with the bike I would've gotten that instead however it wasn't an option. For long tours I also have an air hawk for even more cushioning...

    Brake lever height

    Do you mean lever span or rotational height from the bar? I change my levers to different ones that have good adjustment for span. You may be able to loosen the clamp and rotate for the height however I've not tried that. Sent from my SM-G986B using Tapatalk

    BMW Gen 4 Akra Slip On

    I've got it, it's not particularly louder and I got it because I didn't like the look of the oem can. I got it with the bike from the dealer so it was cheaper. I doubt I'd pay ?900 for it off the shelf, there are plenty of other options that would've been good alternatives. Sent from my...

    Ezcan

    Has anyone had any experience in installing an ezcan power adaptor for accessories? Another forum have mentioned the s1000xr ezcan fits the RR but nothing more. I'm thinking of trying it out for a dashcam but am hesitant if plugging it into the alarm module. Sent from my SM-G986B using Tapatalk
