THIS! Brilliant. Worked for me. This also explains why it was OK for me for the first year then deteriorated. Bend the contacts and the warning went away. Thanks.
I've owned Harley softtails and Road King before getting my 22 R18B FE. I'll be honest if money were not a consideration, I'll probably get a fully loaded CVO Streetglide instead.
However, R18B is ~$20k vs $40~50k CVO. And I like the big boxer enough that in my mind it is 80-90% as good as the...
I did quite a lot of searching/reading and couldn't find a firm answer on this:
Does R18B have any solo seat option? All Solo or 2-piece seats I've seen are for R18 or classic.
Can someone point me to a sure fit solo seat for R18B? Thanks.
That's great info. thanks! This makes much more sense now, having it exposed and easy to access is indeed a plus, and the aesthetic and other concerns minus of course.
I've had my 22 R18B for several months and just noticed this, along the front edge of the right side cover, there are quite a few exposed wire connectors. Is this how it's supposed to be? Seems a little dangerous to me or am i just too paranoid?
I'll go in next week, San Jose BMW quoted ~$550 for my 22 R18B. Definitely on the high side IMO but not outrageous I guess given the high cost area they are in.
I have the Roadstyler version. No complaints, very nice fit and finish. They are like the ones on my Harley Road King, just a simple loop design. I haven't tested their effectiveness yet ;) fingers crossed.
I don't see why it would have any suspension related issues, it has 2 mounting points...
Shouldn't the number of hours needed and parts needed be the same across all dealership? The only variable should be labor rate.
For those who did the service, how many hours of labor were quoted? 2 hours?
If you are referring to the SW version reported by the TFT screen, I see 013_012_050 oon mine (22 R18B). I think I saw other members reported 013_013_xxx
Why would there be such a huge range for the same service? Shouldn't these be "by the book"? i.e. each service calls for certain pre-defined labor hours, I can't imagine the labor/hour varies that much.
I want to support my local dealer as much as possible but it's always good to know what is...
