A friend has a 2023 K1600B. A nice looking bike. He was a HD rider for years, and transitioned to BMW in 2023. He loves the bike, but lost faith in the bike when he experienced repeated front-end wobbles at 70+ MPH. The bike only has 3000 miles.
... there is a rumor that the "B" has a systemic issue with wobbles above 70 mph.
I am looking for any information which links an overall performance or mechanical design flaw with other "B" bikes and any solutions to this issue. He has received...

This seat is basically new. I put about 500 miles on it before I had a saddle made for me. This was not cheap but I certainly don't think anyone is going to pay anywhere near what I paid for it. I have a box ready to go that my latest seat came in. Has standard plug for the seat heating...It is plug and play with current harness. Nothing to cut or rewire. Will ship for whatever the cost is...guessing most places will be about $75.
Any questions or more pictures let me know.
Thanks ..read more

I've been a stubborn advocate for working with the CA because I very much do not like 'clutter' in the cockpit; part of my attraction to the K was that beautiful big TFT screen. I admire some of you guys who can keep it on the road with radar detectors, cupholders, phones, Garmins, dash cams, tank bags, etc. but that's just not for me.
I've used a cheap Samsung as my dedicated CA device (not as a phone, just for Nav using the CA on the TFT), but realizing the limits of the maps on the phone...

Unconscious Incompetence - When I got the bike, i didn't know that I didn't know how to put it on the center stand.
Conscious Incompetence - Once you know what you didn't know, you may know it, but you still can't do it.
Conscious Competence - You know what you didn't know before and you can do it by concentrating and using proper technique.
Unconscious Competence - Like a pro baseball player, you aren't thinking through every part of your swing. You do it like you've done it a thousand...

I've been looking at the K1600B since it came out off and on. I remember Roland Sands worked his magic on one almost a decade ago and I loved the look. A friend of mine traded his 2015 CVO Street Glide on the R18B and he loves it. A little different from his CVO but he's very happy with it. I've been watching a lot of videos on the K1600B and Grand Americas and the Harley guys end up loving these bikes and say they'll never go back. The ride looks buttery smooth and I can't even imagine...
