As is clear from the functional diagram, there is no performance gain from removal.

and this is the functional diagram

On a side note I find it totally illustrating how society has changed since I started with motorcycles. My 1953 Norton twin had peardrop exhausts much like the base R18s have. There was basically no muffling other than two baffles causing the gas flow to tumble. When I fitted an SS cam and hc...

:eek: Only 10; tén, road registered TransContinentals in all of Switzerland. That is including those at the dealers. Ufffff. That is not a lot. Makes me wonder how many R18s there are in Spain.

oh man that is só out of period; in style would be a road map slid in the transparent top of the tank bag.

Looking réally classic, retro now. From factory it already is a stunning homage bike and the valanced front mudguard, OEM rubber seat, extended reverse shifter, heel/toe pedal, vintage bronze rondels and now the knee rubbers are period style cherries on that vintage cake.

On the base R18 the mufflers are mounted with a clip on the header pipe and on two rubber mounts underneath. The two rubber mounts are on the same bracket. You can either rearwards slide the pot off of the rubbers or take the bracket off.

major @@#|@! moment The sticky stuff did not stick. Yes, wiped the pads and tank with alcohol. Put a smear of superglue around the edge and it is better but still messy. I think it a combination of lowish temperature and having put it too far to the rear. Further forward the tank side is...

As observed, the EVAP only is a filter with recirculation valve added to the gas tank ventilation. No more no less. The is no effect on performance. Yes overfilling the tank can have fuel flowing into the canister thus leading to messing up the recirculation into the intake. Apart from the...

I would be VERY hesitant to faf with settings while on the move. I like to keep my attention on riding, on the rest of the world. If I feel the need, I stop. That observed, I admit that I positive lóath buttons/switches which are not; I mean touch thingies. Like in my car I want a light...

The link is to a company in the Netherlands. That is as far as my info on supply goes. Yes, the mufflers slip on the header Just need the correct diameter. The basic Megaton, with the removable end caps, is unchanged since the sixties. Had a set on several bikes. When taking inflation into...

There is no discuting taste so that is what it is. Fúnctionally; for the efficiency, once warmed up plastic or whatever is irrelevant. The bright side is that the R18 electronics is capable to adjust to a wide range of mods including this. The less bright is that it will make little if anything...

below one that Harald himself would have worn

Heidenau is a very old roots tyre manufacturar and after the reunion completely modernised. It has quite a good reputation. And yes it is specifically for the R18 Classic. I would seriously consider a set if it came in the correct sizes for mine.

over here it is all but exclusively a Goldwing thing. But then the only times I have seen pop down wheels was on Goldwings too. I remember he first time I saw it for both btw. A sound system on a motorcycle seemed as alien as pop down wheels. The Goldwing when it first came out was itself...

that gives hope 👍

The R18 has a flexible program with about 30% margin so it ´retunes´ itself. If it is a véry free flow no-muffler some will occasionally throw a CEL because a post cat O2 sensor is out of spec. Should not be an issue with these.

drone or not, any louder (no)muffler means you will need to turn that up no?! ;)

Not R18 specific so in Biergarten. At periodic inspection the horn is an item checked. Now if that should work, the logic is that we should also be able to héar it no?! This applies to the general thing of same. I mean the hearing is one of our senses informing us about our surroundings. Imo...
