    Ilmberger hugger: homologated or not?

    TBH I had a bit of a mare with the FullSix I got from a German vendor who are no longer on here with the fit. I had to open up a few holes as they hadn't allowed for the shoulder on the screws. On one fairing infill panel I had to make some changes so that the BMW badge sat flush as the pins...

    Ilmberger hugger: homologated or not?

    Yes it is a 2-piece. FullSix have 2 types of chain guard, a full length that matches OEM and a shorter one which is what I have. I don't carry pillion but otherwise had no issues with the hugger. I don't expect to TBH either as would have to go some to make contact between the two parts.

    New Bike, Exhaust Advice Please.

    Hi Jordan, sounds like you're not too far from me. I can (no pun intended) vouch for the Akrapovic though as I have it my '15 and it's a great piece of kit. where you getting your bike from? +1 for Biohazard. I got an R77 for a Blade a couple of years back, service was spot on. Contact was...

    rear hugger options?

    In the past I've used what they call Helicopter tape (it's used to protect the leading edge of a helicopter blade). It's a clear Polyurethane tape that's good for protecting exposed parts. The clip that's integral to the hugger to secure the rear brake hose and speed sensor cable has started...

    Alternative Luggage for the Ventura Rack

    I found on an earlier thread from March that the Hepco & Becker was ?110, on the Hepco & Becker site they're now at ?145. Anyone know of other suppliers of the rack or is this the going rate now?

    Alternative Luggage for the Ventura Rack

    How does it attach, does that system need the pillion seat in place as I only have the cowl?

    Alternative Luggage for the Ventura Rack

    I fancy the Ventura system with the sport rack as don't fancy the pack rack, it looks far too big on the back end, more like the backrest on a Lambretta. The reason for going with Ventura is it provides a system for securing the bag to it without having to strap it to the backend and potentially...

    EU Travel and the GB Sticker

    Thanks guys for the info. I was of the impression the switch to KPH could be done on the >2015, must be thinking of the Blade I had. Purely for aesthetics my original plate had a white back to it and as the bike was all black I had another plate made up with a black back so it matched the...

    Headstock Pin Size

    Question I asked sometime back before I got my 2015 as I already have a headstock stand but it wouldn't work as there is a plastic cover covering the headstock tube. If you're interested I have a universal headstock stand for sale, a Qtech Pro...

    BMW Extended Warranty

    I guess it's coming up to that time when 2015 owners have the option to extend their warranty. Before I go phoning the dealer, as it's easier to get an answer here, anybody know what the options and costs are? I've had the mailshot in the post for the 'free check' before the warranty expires...

    Front Wheel Removal

    Thanks all for the info, links, tips and advice, much appreciated. Ordered the tyres and valves from Demon yesterday, free delivery and black Friday deal too. I like to do my own wheel removal rather than a ride in ride out service. The service is probably ok it's just a mindset thing for me and...

    Front Wheel Removal

    Hi all, Going for some new tyres in the off-season that'll hopefully last till my Andorra trip next September; going for the M7RR as they appear to get a good review on here. Anyway, to the point, what size is the hex in the front axle and I'm replacing the valves with 90 deg types, what size...

    Some bedtime reading

    Thanks Mike - not sure when we take in the Picos but we're heading to Pamplona and our base is near Viella just off the N-230. Ferry is now booked for September 3rd sailing from Plymouth. As for luggage the BM has the rear seat cowl and an exhaust hanger (no pillion footrests) so what are my...

    Some bedtime reading

    Interesting that this has come up. It was suggested last night to do a week trip to Andorra via Santander and ride through the Picos next September. It'll be my first ever trip on the bike outside of the UK and one of any decent mileage too. I've never owned luggage and I'm totally...
