Here's our first set of BMW 1600B slip ons that will make it out of the dyno room and on to the street for testing.

Let me be the first (on the site) to say dang, those look good, Steve.  Made that bike look very differn't from the back side and a bit lighter to boot.  Good luck with the testing.

Glad to see progress on the mufflers.  Stopped in to see the K1600B two days ago...this is my third visit looking at one.  Unless something changes my opinion, there's one coming to my garage.

Thanks for all the positive input Guys!

Hard for me to describe the sound. I took it around the block yesterday when it was 114 deg out and I decided reschedule for the AM. Looking forward to some hi way miles at 80 to really evaluate to tone. I can not tolerate anything that drones, hopefully I nailed it right out of the gate. First impressions, not much louder than stock at idle and cruise. But as the RPMs climb it progressively turns into hi pitched F1 type of a scream. At no point is it as loud as the Harley's we are all used to playing with. I will go back into the dyno room with it soon and shoot more video.

The endcaps are one offs that I made from scratch. Real clean and smooth, I hope the Germans will approve.

I was just on the BMW K1600 forum and there's already chatter about your mufflers.  Good luck.

Mark, coming from a long time HD rider, the B or Bagger brought a new level of enjoyment into riding.

Two suggestions, if you buy a B or GA, make sure it has the factory center stand option. Second suggestion; if you want the cast wheel option, make sure you buy it that way factory. These options are reasonable as a factory option, expensive to add later.

I know cuz I added the center stand to my B, I was happy with the stock rims.

Good luck

I think the standard wheels are cast - the upgrades are forged. The forged wheels are supposed to be lighter and stronger (as well as prettier) but I can't recall by how much.

Be careful doing that. I was not even thinking about ever getting a BMW until JC talked me into testing one, put my order in a week later..
Performance on that bike in another dimension from our bikes, huge fun!

Your right, I apologize.

In my opinion, the primary reason to buy the upgraded wheels is because you prefer the style. Any other benefit is a bonus.

Some prefer the standard rims. Good to have choices. The standard rims certainly work well and also look good. One thing I really like about them is the black powdercoating. Also like the position of the valve stem.
