Try doing it without a u-joint.ÔÇó Optimised lightweight cardan shaft drive now running on the left-hand side.
The water cooling appears to be used just for the heads, specifically the area around the valves, hence the remaining cooling fins on the cylinders.
And around the top couple cm of the cylinders -- the part that sees the most combustion heat as the piston descends.The water cooling appears to be used just for the heads, specifically the area around the valves, hence the remaining cooling fins on the cylinders.
From what BMW has said, the wethead was driven more by increasingly strict Euro emissions and noise regulations.I imagine that BMW couldn't increase displacement & HP any further under the opposed-twin design with oil cooling. Hence, the Wethead.
They are no more exposed than what's been on the camheads/hexheads/oilheads/airheads. Things are probably better on the wethead, as there's no balance tube connecting the headpipes across the lower front of the engine to be sandblasted by tire-driven road debris.Without getting into the other pro's & con's of the new design, I trust that those more-exposed headers are resistant to corrosion. My old Suzuki GSX-1100F's headers were sandblasted by debris throw up from the front tire. I ended up having them treated by Jet Hot to remove the corrosion.
Big pig!

What's with the seat in the rhino picture? The shots of the red one look like the old seat. I wonder if existing custom seats can transfer over. The white one also has engine bars and spoked wheels. ADV pieces?
