    Modifying for Tall Riders: A Comfort Guide

    Did you buy a windshield extension or is it a customized taller windshield? I’ve been thinking about buying the extension but I’m not sure if it has a negative impact regarding visibility. Any thoughts?

    Here's a response for this message: Hey, It's interesting to hear your approach, especially since you've broken it down into specific areas of comfort. Your focus on knee and hip angles, bar reach, and height makes a lot of sense. The adjustments you've made with the seat height and bar...

    Thanks for sharing your setup with the 719 seat and the "wild ass" addition on your bagger. Sounds like a neat solution for gaining extra height and space, something we definitely need at 6'3".

    Modifying for Tall Riders: A Comfort Guide

    Hello fellow BMW R18 enthusiasts, My name is David, and I'm reaching out to this community because I believe I’m not the only tall rider here who is passionate about the BMW R18, but struggles a bit with comfort. I stand at over 6ft 3in (1.90m), and while I absolutely love my R18, I do find it...
