Electrical, Lighting, and Wiring / Re: Aiming new Matt Gecko LEDs
« Last post by Antares on Today at 12:38:22 am »

So I have installed the Matt Gecko LEDs on my 2018, and since there are no adjusters for the lights, I was wondering what/how anyone with this light correctly aimed their lights?  Mine seem to be pointing to high.  Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks 😊

Says in the manual and on the website to install spacers below the relevant bolt.

Did you do off the shelf lines or custom lines? Or keep your OEM ones?

I bought Speigler custom lines, partly for this and partly to be able to use a headstock stand

BMW think a 10litre tank bag makes it suitable for "long distance" riding!
In addition to the competition package you can go all out and get the long distance package.  For only an extra 30k it includes a carbon fiber trailer with winglets and an "M" branded stainless steel water bottle to keep you hydrated while you trailer the bike to your preferred riding area or track **.

** - towing vehicle not included.

Items Wanted / S1000xr Ackra ebay

Word of warning..

The lad trying to sell the above states it fits the XR...it doesn't and he can't comprehend for it to do so modification is needed, passenger pegs need removing permanently as it catches underneath, and you'll need an additional hanger longer than the channel tunnel to make it fit.
It's for a RR, poss R..but not the XR.

Honda lost the plot way back in 2009 on supersports etc.
Nothing there after until 2015 was worth a look until the new nosed blade was launched.
Too late by then, bmw took the market by storm.
Totally agree with all the negative comments on Hinda sadly...mmm...Hinda, might do better than Honda !

I was going to go to sit on the M-XR.
A friend went the day before and told me it was up on a plinth, so I stayed at home.

It shouldn't be a problem on the MXR.  You can't carry anything anyway so you won't be going far.  :745:

Thanks for the wide bars comment. I think you nailed it. I've adjusted my subconscious to adapt to the lighter touch. I was thinking too much while chasing the really fast old geezers I ride with. Stability was never an issue. The bike is a wet dream to ride . It pulls so hard in Dynamic Pro I'm not sure I need all the mods to make it faster.

Dynamic Pro doesn't pull any harder than Dynamic or normal Road mode for that matter, (the throttle mapping is slightly different)....it just has less "nanny's" in "Dynamic Pro".

Smithy.
