Wifey and I will be visiting Italy in April/May and I need to apply for a Schengen visa at the Italian embassy here in Texas. They require, by law, that one buy travel insurance that cover all the Schengen countries, even if you only plan to visit one. Now, there are plenty of companies out...

Whats your impression/thoughts on the Ural sidecar combo? Are they reliable, pricey etc? My old toppie, now 75, wants to get himself a bike again. I am not for it at all. But, the Ural sidecar might be a good solution. He was a biker all his life, so he knows how to ride - problem is his body...

Which reputable companies transport bikes between Durban (or Pietermaritzburg) and Cape Town? I am looking to send mine down to CT.

I am checking out Seabrook Forwarding and Handling shipping company to do shipping between SA and USA. Any dawgs here that have dealt with them? https://www.seabrookfandh.com/

My 1150 GSA's front brake discs are wearing unevenly (I am not talking about the brake pads), to the point that one disc is rattling due to the slots/roller washers being worn out. This tells me one side is working harder than the other. I have been warned not to take them apart myself as I...

I want need to export my 1150 GSA to the US next year and will need a "Letter of Conformity/Certificate" from the manufacturer, not a dealer. Has anybody here obtained such a letter from BMW before?

I replaced all my throttle cables from top to bottom, including the choke - what a difference it makes. What a pleasure to twist that grip again, it feels so snappy and soft - not like it used to be. It is not cheap when buying it from BWM, but well worth it after 140,000km. This includes the...

I had handlebar switch issues and after some searching I found out the relays were shot. Went to BMW to get a quote and they asked over R200 per relay - I wanted to replace all four. Spoke to a bike mechanic and he told me to simply go to Goldwagen and buy the relays there - same thing at less...

I am currently busy replacing all my throttle/choke cables and the junction box....and yes, it is suck ass job. The ABS pipes caught my eye and it got me thinking about removing the ABS pump again. My ABS stopped working a long time ago, I dont like it much in any case - too unpredictable on...

I bought a set of throttle body kits from Dan in Romania last year sometime. I have a trip coming up next weekend and am trying to service the bodies. I got the throttle bodies off and and the bench, the shaft & pulley out, but I dont know how to get the shaft off the pulley. If anybody knows...

Saw these bikes in Argentina recently and liked the look of them - a 250cc Touring bike. Have no idea if they are any good, but saw a lot of them riding around various places. Seems like they also have a variety of other types of bikes, for a fairly new company. The dont really drive bikes...

I bought my CTEK MXS 5.0 charger in May 2013 from Outdoor Warehouse. It has been used 100% for my bike when it sits in my garage, hooked up to keep to battery going. Yesterday my car's battery died on me and I attempted to use the CTEK charger on it, but it was stuck in the "bike mode" program...

Might work on bikes with similar polycarbonate lights or screens: My Pajero's one polycarbonate headlight was severely yellowed/oxidized and buying a new one was simply too expensive. So after I did some googling, I decided to try out one of these headlight restoration kits. I was pleasantly...

I busted my 2nd Acryl Form (Stikland) screen and need to replace it. I was informed that they are made of perspex and not polycarbon like the originals. The perspex tends to snap / break off when hit hard, which resulted in a massive dangerous splinter type wedge that aimed straight for my neck...

www.stackry.com Anybody used them before? A lot of US websites wont allow you to purchase certain items if you are in certain countries due to regional product restrictions. The only way is then to use a local person in the US to order and receive the package on your behalf whom then also...

My little piggy sounds sick and I need some advice from the Swine doctors please: Symptoms of her swine flu: * Makes bang-bang at the back when driving, as I close the throttle all the way to decelerate, especially below 2000rpm * Dies occasionally when I stop at stop streets - I have to keep...

I had my peeg on a 911 diagnostic tool this weekend. It showed it runs way lean, not within the set limits. Should the bike's electronics not be able to optimize the air/fuel mixture itself and keep it within the limits? Or must I set it from time to time? Bike is de-catted, have a BMC reusable...

Somebody here ordered some recon/servicing kits for the 1150's throttle bodies some time ago. I did a search, but cant find it now. Gooi, who was it?
