Hairy,

Given this pic, BMW should just offer it as standard and then let others "down grade" to cast wheels if they so wish

The BMW spoked wheels are also Tubeless, so win win win

And start rolling up my "designer" jeans

I have bought a Harley belt and a few long sleeve t shirts. My wife gave me a set of Harley boots for Christmas. I have become a caricature and something I used to laugh at..

 

but damn this Harley stuff is very well made. Great quality and I feel less guilty drinking their coffee and eating their biscuits when I pop in there. ????

I went in and bought a compression spring and saddle fastening screw totaling 70bucks!! So the free coffee and cookies made the price feel okay ????

The HD merchandise is definitely up the with the quality of most premium branded gear ????????

I started watching 46Works build thread on YouTube where he rebuilds a BMW R100RS into a Cafe Racer. The amount of custom parts he has fabricated for this rebuild is amazing . A really talented oke. Can weld, fabricate, spraypaint, machine, rebuild and also knows how to use an English Wheel!

Did you get a fastening screw you can undo by hand, or just the run of the mill ones?

No, I got the normal one. They were waiting on stock of the hand-screw jobbies.

So I figured, take the normal one and free coffee, then go back for the hand-screw jobbie and free coffee... ????????‍♂️

YOU JUST MADE THAT SOUND DIRTY.

Been looking at the hand fastening options, but I think I am just going to convince my neighbour to turn me out a brass one on the lathe.

Hey ... I need to chat to my HD dealer ... bought some consumables from them and no free coffee in sight.

With my Harley I have never had to pay for a screw. 
 

That said 70 ront could be cheap depending on the quality of said screw.

so here is a question ... when you go looking at bikes at dealers do you ask to sit on the bikes first, or do you just go sit on them.

I always ask, just feels right.

Good question. Unless there is a sign on it I will sit on bikes. But I very rarely do sit on show bikes. Think the only one I have ever sat on is the sportster S at my local Harley.

Got a Kappa Universal Screen for the bike - work wonders! Now I can comfortably sit at 120kph+ without the wind pushing me around.
