    Engine/crash bars

    Yes I’m happy with them. I replaced the bolts that came with it with BMW Torx heads when I installed them after I had put the bike away for the winter last fall. If you see this thread it will give you some detailed information on my experience with installing them...

    Engine/crash bars

    They came with mine (Yes I have the Horning) but I've never used them. I can't see me putting my feet up on the bars. Most of my rides are small back country roads where it's not unusual that I need to put my feet down quickly. I know I'm not helping you very much.

    Passenger Backrests are Listed on BMW's Website

    Great thanks! The two dealers I spoke to had no data or forgot about this info.

    Passenger Backrests are Listed on BMW's Website

    See https://www.shopbmwmotorcycles.com/search?search_str=backrest . Maybe these have been there a while. I have no idea when they showed up but a few months ago I checked with my local dealer and they didn't have any backrest parts showing up in their systems. I checked MaxBMW's website...

    Price Aside, what R18 did you want, did you buy that one and why?

    I bought the R18 Classic in August of 2021 and the bagger wasn’t available yet. The BMW demo days truck came through in June and I had a chance to ride the Base at the end of one day after riding a bunch of bikes including the RT. The Base model blew me away. I came back and rode the Classic the...

    Classic saddle bags locking

    I’d love to hear how this install goes if you use the Harley Davidson Universal Saddlebag Lock Kit. Here’s a link to it here: https://www.harley-davidson.com/us/en/shop/Universal-Saddlebag-Lock-Kit/p/90300017

    I love that gas cap. I have it on mine too with other Roland Sands machined add-ons.

    Looking for a picture of Wunderlich backrest with the Mustang Weekender seat

    Pbosik, Your avatar shows the Wunderlich on your bike but you like the Roadstyler. Is the Roadstyler on your bike now? Which one do you like better if price wasn't an issue and why? I'm favoring the Wunderlich since it adds a little more space between the passenger seat pad and the bottom of...

    Looking for a picture of Wunderlich backrest with the Mustang Weekender seat

    From taking a quick measurement, it looks like the Mustang Weekender seat is an inch and a half to 2 inches thicker than the stock seat. I’m considering getting the Wunderlich backrest for my Classic that has the Weekender seat. Whether it is a Classic or not, if you have the Weekender seat and...

    MadStad looking for a bike in Central Florida (windshield prototype)

    I had a MadStad on my F800ST. 10x better than stock. I’m looking forward to seeing what they do.

    Battery removal R18 Classic

    R18C, Actually what you said might be just what I need to know. I’m trying to attach an accessory and I only needed to connect to the positive battery terminal. I understand that there is a jump start terminal on the right side. i looked just now and it appears you can simply unscrew the...

    Battery removal R18 Classic

    Hi, I have an R18 Classic. I have to pull my battery out. I’ve looked in the manual and removed the retaining strap and I’m holding up on the snap-in lug (plastic clip at the top left of the battery) and this thing won’t move. Also there doesn’t seem to be any good place to grab the battery...

    BMW MUFFLER END CAPS 77 11 2 469 287

    Yeah that's what I think. I don't have the end caps but something else I ordered from BMW had those clips in the package.

    Battery Tenders

    Adrian, The plug on the left of the bike is for charging using a Can Bus charger which uses a different method than directly connecting a charger to the battery using spring connectors or the pigtail connector. Some chargers like the Optimate 4 provide both connectors that can be swapped. You...

    What did you do to your R18 today?

    HanseDavion I love those Roland Sands rims. I have the clutch and brake covers on my Classic and those rims would be an excellent addition. While I really like having saddlebags it’s too bad that the rear wheel is covered up. Your rear wheel is gorgeous. Now I’m afraid to find out what that...
