History
The bike: another immigrant from CA to TX.
Me: from Munich, Bavaria
Me: from Munich, Bavaria
Wunderlich/Luismoto center stand - with home-made crud- and rust protection added: Central Stand for BMW R NineT Family #74
Great for garage space-saving & fork relief, maintenance and flat positioning of boxer cylinders.
Lowers center of gravity even more.
Levels the blinker fluid, too.😉 And makes you a hero at the café. Truly amazing.
sharpened up with the new DK Design digital instrument
and - just in case - fortified with those T-Rex sliders, a.k.a. “Boxer-bra”
Great location for the radar detector - perfectly legal in the US... combined with a separate “smart cord” LED behind the fly screen, it gives a good visual signal and a decent chance to avoid those encounters. Power is tapped from park light. Also: headlight protection from Hella. Good for slipstream racing!
The black exhaust headers underline the strict black&silver color scheme.
And here’s - drumroll - the most reasonably priced mod. For $2.99 from the supermarket’s kitchen dep’t I now have a sophisticated pre-intake filter. Have caught a couple of critters already!
Plus: Sargent seat: No more p.i.t.a. Great mile enhancer!
Latest addition: the Bobby Axle-rad illuminated floating wheel cap! Gorgeous!
Hope y’all enjoyed!
PS: I also love to polish those Alpina wheels. It’s my fav “non-moving meditation” activity.
Those won’t fit the bike...😉 But they’re also from Bavaria.

The “Bobby Axle-rad illuminated floating hub cap”. Priceless. https://www.ninetowners.com/threads/introducing-the-“bobby-axle-rad”™%EF%B8%8F-floating-illuminated-hubcap®%EF%B8%8F™%EF%B8%8F.149958/#post-1129128
