    Steering damper wanted

    It should. At least the OEM one from the 2020 R9t Pure fit the R18 Classic. I was going to buy another Ohlins for the R18 but the OEM one is still holding up. I looked at the website; I'd get this one...

    RemMotorcycle Seat

    never tried but looks interesting. I've been eyeing Mother Road Customs' tractor seat, just need to figure out how to mount it: https://motherroadcustoms.com/collections/tractor-seats/products/spring-solo-tractor-seat-harley-touring-indian-chief-bobber-17x16-back-rest-blk

    Aftermarket Auxiliary Lights / Turn signals for R18B -> R18 Transcontinental setup

    My opinion - get a Hex EZ Can and check out Mori Moto lights. The combo will be cheaper than Denail or Clearwater, and they are excellent lights.

    B handlebars on Roctane

    A couple of us on here have installed beach bars. I kept my wires external, routed along the brake/clutch lines. Other folks have drilled holes and routed the wires inside the bars. There they OEM and should fit the Roctane. They also come in black or chrome. I did the work myself, not hard at...

    BMW OEM left non-throttle heated grip $100

    New grip in package. Replaced my grips on the Classic and bought it in case the project went south. It went well so now it’s for sale. Made for grip heated option. $150 includes US shipping.

    Ariete grips

    I replaced my original grips with Ariete. The heating ability is retained however it’s not as hot as original since the Ariete grips are thicker. The heating element is under the plastic tube on either side so cutting is straight forward and easy. I used a heat gun to soften the grips and hair...

    Sidecar mountings

    The plug is under the left side panel near the OBD connector. It’s big and you can’t mistake it. I’ll post pics later today. From there I ran the cord behind the shock to the sidecar side and I have the EZ Can attached to the right pillion foot-peg support. From there all the Hex connectors run...

    Givi Top Case on R18b

    I commute on my bike. Computer bag AND helmet would fit well in a larger box plus I almost never have a pillion.

    Givi Top Case on R18b

    nicely done. if you're not riding with a pillion, this looks better than the TC top box.

    Sidecar mountings

    Used a Hex EZCan for the sidecar lighting. Works very well: https://www.hexinnovate.com/filter/jsf/epro-products/tax/product_cat:79;product_tag:107/

    Fitting tyres

    See attached for a general guide. Depending on the type of exhaust you may need to remove the cans as well to access the rear axel. Not hard just tedious. EDIT: sorry the wheel removal PDF is too large to attach. Search for the guide online, it’s in the virtual maintenance manual.

    Sidecar mountings

    It’s a Ural sidecar also mounted by Texas Sidecar Company. Mounting point seem the same as your pics. There are only so many place to attach the hack.
