Re: Headlight bulb upgrade?

In the long run, I think you're probably right. I looked on the Eastern Beaver website and it all looks pretty straightforward. In the short term, though, I'm just going to get a new bulb and go riding.

Thanks.

Headlight bulb upgrade?

I bought a 2000 R1100R about four weeks ago. Wonderful motorcycle, and great to be riding again after a hiatus of about 20 years. I wonder what I was thinking?

Re: ABS info

ABS info

I’m looking at buying another BMW after being away from bikes for about 15 years. An R1150R would suit me just fine – in fact, I’m excited about the prospect – and an internet search brought me to this forum. I’ve waded through a mountain of posts, and very much appreciate the depth of experience an...
