apologies for the late response but, thanks for the detailed clarification. now i can comfortably say, i am not installing the factory CC due to the high labor cost involved. i would be looking for a after market throttle position holder device that's a favorite of the R18 guys.
I see your point. I come from a Honda Suzuki Yamaha world and this is my 6th bike except it's a BMW R18 FE and I did not realize this shortcoming by going with this bike. Innocence I'm kind of regretting it.
How in the world a company will make a bike without a dedicated brake light etc... And...
I'm in US. Will check out Corbin. Not a big fan of Wunderlich coz of the ridiculous prices.
I was hoping someone may have had luck with some sellers in ebay or Amazon to find aftermarket parts for R18 and was looking for recommendations.
i am hoping to buy these aftermarket items from ebay/amazon/aliexpress etc...
1) Batwing fairing with windshield
2) Luggage rack (preferably with LED brake lights) with passenger backrest included
3) Bracket for luggage rack installation
4) Handlebar risers
5) Leather/manmade leather Saddlebags...
been thinking of installing a Trike conversion kit to my R18 FE. Tow-Pak sells kits, wanted to hear from this group if anyone had already done it or is there any specific concerns or issues you know of if i install a trike kit.
FYI: i already have a Tow-pak's GoKit trike conversion installed...
i currently have a trike conversion kit on my Suzuki boulevard from Tow-Pac Inc. Love it! no complains about the kit. Its called a Go-Kit.
I am considering installing a Go-Kit for my 2021 R18 FE too... still thinking. you can look on their website but better to call customer service for...
many oem plug and play comes at a steep price (atleast from my perspective) so, i like to tinker with non-oem hoping to find a decent quality that would last for 5 yrs!
i saw one in Aliexpress...
Is there any budget friendly Non OEM Auxiliary LED Running Headlights. I can live with some makeshift switch or just keep it running while driving day/night. any recommendations will be appreciated.
i am thinking of the same for my FE. Something simple, nothing fancy. More for safety than anything else. infact, any lighting option for safety as long as it legal i will consider!
