Me too, No difficult problems.You may want to enlarge your brake and shift control levers/pedals. Just about all the lowering kits move the pegs further out and those pedals feel like they get smaller

I had Grip Puppies and they got slick, so i wrapped them with silicone tennis racket grip tape. That worked very well and it looks good too. No negatve effects on heating.

Expensive little buggers
I lost one from my F800. I found a replacement cheap on eBay.

I fabricated a solution. I bent some 20 ga. stainless steel into a suitable shape and JB welded pieces to the pannel. They are strong and everything fits like stock. Here are some photos.

Thanks, I like the Clearwaterlights concept, I may buy one and try fabricating the other.

I just had the 2 plastic tabs on my right front side fairing pannel break. Other than buying a new pannel I am looking for a good secure fix for repairing the tabs. YouTube has several. Some don't look too strong. Anyone have a method that worked for you?

You are a lucky man. I have been looking for a used one for years. I finally just bought a conventional lift. Just got tired of crawling around on the ground.

If you want a comfortable seat, you don'thave a lot of options. There are some aftermarket seat adjusters, but they did't solve the problem. I have a 29" inseam and helped the problem by getting lifted boots. Take a look at Calto or Daytona boots. I ended up with Calto with 2.5" lifts.

Before you spend much money, you may get something like this. Infact get one for yourself for summer riding.

BMW thiught it would be a good idea to prevent the handles from locking when the panniers are off the bike. That is what those plungers do. As long as I haven't left the keys in the pannier, I don't care. Eliminating those plungers facilitates the reassembly process.
