    Madstad Windshield and ST2 Turn Signal Canceling System

    The large Madstat on my bike. I ride year round in Stuttgart Germany so a little coverage is nice. Sent from my SM-S906B using Tapatalk

    Madstad Windshield and ST2 Turn Signal Canceling System

    I have 2 Madstats and use the largest one all year long set at the lowest setting, I think it is 22" tall. I am 6'1" and look 'just' over the shield. Along with the winglets I get no buffeting when riding. I also use a Shoei neotech 3, used a neotech 1 prior to that helmet. FWIW, the medium...

    S10 with sidecar detected

    German plates? I currently live in Germany and ride an S10, but I havent seen another one in the year I have lived here. I did see a nice S10 in Split Croatia, but that was it. If you are after old-school Africa Twins, that is a different story there are lots here. I never saw an S10 with a...

    Where to buy aftermarket parts in Germany

    I currently live in Germany, you may want to check Touratech or perhaps Wunderlich. They closest place near me is a company named Louis.de. If you let me know where (location) you'll be and when (date range) I may be able to place some inquiries at some shops for you. BMWs are everywhere here...

    large fuel tank

    You long range guys are studs. I did one saddlesore 1000 on my ultra classic just to get the license plate bracket. 1027 miles in a bit over 18 hrs was enough for me, and that was with a cup holder, loud radio and comfy highway bars! I've read up on the IBR and am amazed at the prep work that...

    large fuel tank

    That tank is cool; nice snag. Slap a tank bag on there, and you can lay your chin on it to take a nap. Sent from my SM-S906B using Tapatalk

    My very 1st Bike.

    You already know your answer - you want the Super Tenere - but you needed some confirmation about your choice so you asked folks here on this forum; I probably did the same thing when I purchased my first-ever bike. About me for context: I powerlifted my entire life and spent college as a Div...

    Need that 'not a BMW' sticker

    It would make a difference in insurance premiums for sure! Also, there are countries in Europe where the legal BAC is 0.0% - any alcohol in your blood is a violation. They take that seriously as well. Kind of ironic in a location where the beer is really good and cheaper (literally) than...

    Need that 'not a BMW' sticker

    You are correct. For me to get my license here in Germany I had to take some classes online and pass 4 written tests with greater than an 85% score. I received the guidance to study the 98 page instruction booklet not to simply scan it because there are lots of differences, especially road signs...

    Need that 'not a BMW' sticker

    I have been to Ludwigsburg, cool place but I can only imagine the differences between then and now. Riding the black forest would bring back memories, I am sure. It is an epic ride each time I go. Motorcycling here is amazing but there are some cultural differences between how the Germans...

    Need that 'not a BMW' sticker

    That is one I've never seen before. Looks good but the one I was looking gor was a BMW circle with the red 'not' symbol just like what was on the Ghostbuster logo. Sent from my SM-S906B using Tapatalk

    Need that 'not a BMW' sticker

    Okay, I've been searching this site for a bit and can't find that BMW sticker with the "NOT" symbol around it. I pretty much came to the conclusion that I absolutely must put a couple of those on my bike since I currently live and ride this S10 here in Germany. Every time I get the "hey, nice...

    Oil leak around final gear drive?

    Why is synthetic more likely to leak? This is interesting; I am not questioning you, just asking a question. Sent from my SM-S906B using Tapatalk

    Radiator cowl bolts - argggh

    I had the same issue yesterday when I changed my radiator juice. I ended up sliding off the clip the bolt screws into (literally, all of them one at a time...) and noticed the slight angle the screw must be inserted with. It still was a frustrating job but in the end they are all back on - the...

    Surprisingly unreliable.

    That sucks, but it makes me like mine even more to be honest with you. I hope to keep it for a long time. Sent from my SM-S906B using Tapatalk

    What year xt1200 do you own

    And as I found out (repeatedly), those red flashes you notice while traveling in other-than-the-left lanes aren't secret admirers... There are speed cameras all over the place! Beautiful roads and seemingly observant drivers sharing the roads, but those dadgum cameras are a hindrance for sure...

    Bike made it to German

    Thanks for the responses, I have some good recommendations to consider. Being realistic, I have no complaints with the tires I have on now, I just thought that maybe more road-biased tires would be better on these roads in Germany. I could be wrong. Besides a '17 VStrom 650 that I owned for a...
