My apologies for the delay. I was set to pull the trigger when BMW posted a stop-sale
on all dealership R18s. The defective headlamp issue stopped me from purchasing my R18.
Some say the remedy won't happen until August. I'm starting to rethink bringing an R18
into the stable with James Bond...
Thanks so much for the update. It's frustrating and bewildering to not have heard an official announcement from BMW. I had to pull the trigger and order a new Corbin saddle for my 2019 K1600 GA (the stock saddle is going up for sale). It's getting too close for a cross country trip the second...
Great question! Another question is prompted: if BMW
has a fix, why is the stop-sale continuing with no end in sight?
I checked a few minutes ago--10:30 amEST--and we are still at a standstill.

I'm thankful for the protection the federal law affords, but how long does something like this take to fix? The official recall seems to be dated December 2023, but there are R18 owners who reported having had the headlamp problem months earlier. What's going on behind OZ's curtain?
There are a significant number of riders on the R1800 forum who are riding there big boxers. I hope and pray nobody gets injured due to the headlight defect. Meanwhile, I'll have a cup of tea please.

I'm fortunate to have a dealer and salesperson who are top notch and are rider-centered.
I spoke with my salesperson today about the stop-sale. He empathized with my disappointment and apologized for the lack of updates.
Bottom line, I still want the R1800 Transcontinental to take it's place in...
Nice! Fantastic job mate. 👍🏽
Tricky operation for the mechanically advantaged, but totally worth pursuing.
With your floorboards and a proper seat, I think at 68, I'm ready for another cross country trek.
Thanks for the speedy reply. One forum member said the stop sale might not be resolved until August. Ouch!
I'm doing a cross-country trip in June, and my 2023 Transcontinental has been on hold since late February (some
forum member-owners have been waiting for a replacement headlamp since March...
