Ignore the prude who doesn't like women.

Interesting! I'm current a front-end developer for a DB company, FairCom. You've probably never heard of it, but we're in the most critical high-volume transaction environments. All stock market transactions, airline flights, 911 calls go through our database.

Turns out I did have a torx bit set in my DeWalt set of tools. Just never used them before - except maybe when I replaced my windscreen. That's about the extent of my mechanical abilities. I'm a software engineer, not a hardward guy. :)

Thanks for the info. And no, I haven't needed to take off any panels or such so far. I'll order the torx as you suggest.

So, it came in, but it looks like I have to remove the collar currently on the light to attach the new piece. My trouble is, I have no idea what to use to remove the current screw/bolt. None of my hex heads (metric or otherwise) seems to fit). I tried to take a picture of it. Hopefully, someone...

Unfortunately, it looks like this guy's life on Etsy was short-lived. I do have a shipment confirmation, but I was subsequently notified by Etsy that he's no longer selling on their site. So, I hope this turns out to be a good purchase. If not, I'll be out $120.

I'll be sure to let you guys know. It'll be here sometime in March as it's being shipped from the Netherlands.

I just ordered this (see BMWELECTRICMOTORRAD at Etsy). Seems like a nicely done, very solid solution.

Nice bike! Not much wind protection though. :unsure: Were I to get a bike for longer distances, I would probably just keep my CE-04 as it is still great for my short commutes. I don't think I would get out of this scooter enough to make me feel good about trading it in. I know I got a crap deal...

Thanks for the info. Is there some logic behind that? I'm glad my car doesn't do that. :)

After 15 months with this bike, I pulled up behind a pickup where I could see my reflection pretty well. I don't know why it occurred to me, but I thought that would be a great time to check my high beams, which led me to discover only the left one comes on. So, since it's not something you...

Yes, I have both the OEM alarm and the Monimoto. Just don't ever forget the fob when you go to ride or you'll be annoyed the whole time with phone calls telling you that your bike has been stolen.

This poorly inspired idea makes me think ... just like not every thought that pops into your head is worth verbalizing, likewise not every idea that pops into your head is one you should act on.

So, let's see. The police generally give 5 mph over lenience. My bike's speedometer is 3 miles over actual speed. I guess that means I'm safe going 48mph in a 40mph zone. That's the real motivation of my post.

I'm a BMW vehicle owner. Obviously, I am willing to throw money at the problem. lol.

I have noticed pretty consistently that my CE-04 shows a speed 2-3 mph faster than what the radar speed sign shows. Anyone else notice something similar? Example of radar speed sign just so everyone knows what I'm talking about.

You got off cheap. I paid $270 for my 600 mile service. And they're supposed to do more than change the transmission fluid. They're supposed to check the drive belt and see if it needs adjusting, and do so if necessary. In the back of the manual, there's a long checklist of things they're...

I bought my CE-04 last August and have of course done the 600 mile service. Soon after, the bike started popping up a notice that I need yet another service check for the brakes, which is apparently at the year mark. I finally called to make an appointment and ... the next appointment available...

Hopefully, it'll all be a moot point as I'm hoping they eventually come out with a CE-06 with even more power and range. Although it wouldn't surprise me if Honda doesn't beat BMW to the punch and for less money.

@triangletom I hope you're right. I admit much of my concern is because this is all so new and we don't really have much history to judge how reliable this will all be. BTW, I looked up part number 12 38 7 915 202 and it seems to have a price tag of $7K, which is to my point. At that price...
