R18Art. Sorry I forgot to ask, which Corbin seat do you own?

Thanks! We are close in height. I’m 5’ 9.5” and my inseam is 31.5”. I noticed they have an online chat so I’ll give them a try. The test unit is a good idea. Tom

I’m weighing the benefits of getting the Mustang Weekender seat or one of the Corbin seats (the Dual Touring Saddle or the Classic Solo & Pillion). I usually don’t ride longer than 200 miles in a hour stretch. Also I usually don’t have a passenger but I like the look of the pillion and would...

At this point I am leaning towards the Weekender. I looked at the overhang on both sides of the Crosscountry pillion which honestly I didn’t favor. I like the lines of the original seat but damn it hurts (me). Of course if I were miserable on the Weekender and great on the Crosscountry I’d live...

So I’m interested in putting in an order for either the Weekender or Crosscountry seat this weekend. Because someone mentioned it and I’ve had them before, I called Sargent seat. They said even though Sargent talked about making a seat for the R18 they decided not to build one. I wanted to add...

I bought my R18 Classic last week (the first week of August). The trade in deal is done (according to BMW’s website and my dealer) unless your dealer is doing something special. Maybe some dealers are still offering it? I think it was if you had a bike from certain brands (Indian, Harley...

According to the dealer there is a bracket that holds the bag which attaches to the 2 top windshield mounts. I plan to put in an order for one and some other things this weekend. They did confirm the windshield bag is in stock with BMW. I’m traveling next week but I’ll post some pictures when I...

" I also don't like how over time dirt does tend to creep in around the edges of the film and you get this 'dirt' outline around the pieces." - I can't comment for this protective film but for the 3M I've used on my cars I haven't seen it. The one thing I have seen is in the spring when there...

I have had 3M Ventureshield on my last 3 cars. I live in the Northeast US and we have a lot of road salt and sand in Winter. The covering makes a huge difference for keeping your paint in good shape, especially for my car that had black paint. I myself am a fairly fair weather motorcycle...

Does anyone own the BMW Windshield Bag show in this link https://parts.maxbmw.com/p/BMW_2021_R18/Bag--windshield/103837473/77492465636.html ? If you do could you please say how it’s mounted and possibly post a picture of it on your bike?

I put in an order for a Model W-525 Wheel Dock Friday for my R-18 Classic that I picked up from the dealer yesterday. It’s arriving next week. Thanks everyone.

I received the deluxe inside cover a few days ago and picked up my new R18 Classic from the dealer yesterday. Attached are a few pictures. The cover is super soft inside and stretchy. It fit fine over the windscreen and saddlebags. It has a “Front” tag inside for orientation but the shape is...

Thank you very much! I really appreciate the information. Tom

Hi Submariner, I'm getting an R18 Classic in a few days. I emailed Wheel Dock about the model of Wheel Dock to use. They said they didn't have the width of the wheel on file for the Classic and they said they weren't sure which chock I should use which seemed surprising since people here are...

Since I don't have my R18 yet I haven't tried my Optimate 4 with it but I've used mine with my previous BMW for a number of years through the Canbus plug and it worked great. I liked my Optimate 4 so much I bought an Optimate 6 for my BMW 330ix. Great charger.

I'll try to remember. If I forget please ping me in a few days. The cover is supposed to arrive Thursday and I hope to have the bike by the weekend.

At least with my old F800ST the BMW cover was perfectly form fitting with tie downs to keep the cover tight over the bike which was really needed since the bike was in a parking garage that sometimes experienced high winds and the side basg were an unusual shape. The BMW cover wasn't that much...

Perfect. Thanks everyone. I had a few questions and they were online at 12:45 AM and answered me immediately. CarCoversFactory seems like a great company.

Fortunately I'm not counting on accessories from the dealer. After dropping $24K on a new bike I think I'm going to limit my accessories purchases to a new helmet and maybe a cover. I do like the machined valve covers and the Weekender seat but I'm in no rush. Maybe those 2 items will be a...

Hi, I had a BMW F800ST for a number of years and I'm a big fan of the BMW Motorrad branded form fitting cover I had for it. I recently sold it to purchase an R18 Classic but I don't see any BMW specific covers for this bike. I pick up my R18 Classic next week and the dealer is offering me a...
