    Picture of machined clutch and brake reservoir covers installed on chrome

    Well I installed the covers. At first I wasn’t thrilled but after I backed up and got some decent light on the bike I’m satisfied. $300 is steep but they seem to be high quality and go well with the other Roland Sands paraphernalia I installed. I initially had some weeping around the clutch...

    Handlebar Mounted Clock and Thermometers

    I received my Marlin horseshoe style handlebar clock and installed it today. It went on fairly easily. In the center of our handlebars is a bar that partially blocks where you’d tighter the lower screw. I turned the clock base on the bars so the bottom screen was up, put on blue locktite...

    Fuel Pump Whine

    I took my R18 Classic in for the 600 mile maintenance yesterday. It was bought in August. They said there were no recalls. I haven't had the whine. It looks like there was a change to the R18 at some point with two versions. Go to their Installation Instructions page here...

    I have the machined gas cap. I’m waiting for the machined reservoir covers to come in. So far I like it.

    Installing foot pegs on a Classic with floorboards

    I communicated with Stormy separately. For now I decided to keep the floorboards after I took a multi-hour ride today. Here’s why… I have been working fairly hard the last few days on stretching. It made a huge difference in a positive way. My back will probably always be messed up but I...

    Installing foot pegs on a Classic with floorboards

    I thought all R18 Classics came with floorboards and initially they didn’t include them due to supply but they made them available later? I didn’t get mine until August so maybe I’m wrong?

    Installing foot pegs on a Classic with floorboards

    I’ve only had my Classic for a month and I love it. It came with floorboard which are comfortable and I like the heel and toe shifting. However, I’m struggling with the floorboards a bit. A big part of it is that I have an old back injury which reduces my range of motion in my legs, especially...

    Picture of machined clutch and brake reservoir covers installed on chrome

    I guess I’ll be posting the first picture with them on a bike with chrome. I replaced the gas cap with the machine finish version. I liked it enough that I ordered the machined finish front brake and clutch reservoir covers and the cover for the rear brake reservoir too. I already have the...

    Picture of machined clutch and brake reservoir covers installed on chrome

    I appreciate it. I have seen this picture posted but as I had asked earlier I was trying to see the covers on chromed handlebars “I’ve found some custom bikes online that have them installed with black handlebars or black mirrors but not on a bike with the chrome package”.

    Bump. Does anyone have these brake/clutch reservoir covers on your bike? Can you post a picture please?

    Yeah I keep hoping somebody will come through.

    Great. Any chance you could post a picture?

    Picture of machined clutch and brake reservoir covers installed on chrome

    For an example I printed up some pictures of the reservoir covers and put them over my existing ones to see how they look. I think with the chrome it isn't what I'd want. If the bars were black it wouldn't be such a harsh transition.

    Picture of machined clutch and brake reservoir covers installed on chrome

    Hi, I’m interested in possibly purchasing the optional machined finished front clutch/brake reservoir covers shown in the attached picture and maybe the matching rear brake reservoir cover. You can’t add them to the BMW configurator for the R18 if you have the chrome package (I’ve got the R18...
