    Top Case Trunk for R18

    Sorry for the loss of your friend. I think I'm finally on the mend, but still weak and not back to 100% yet. My Wife just came down sick a few days ago and got her positive test result today. I'm hoping it doesn't hit her as bad as it hit me.

    Top Case Trunk for R18

    Unless you are sick with it. Then it is very real. I was coughing up blood, and running 103 fever and had non viral covid pnuemonia. It didn't seem very fake to me. I was very ill for naerly two full weeks. still very weak and scarring on my lungs.

    What did you do to your R18 today?

    Do they help much with buffeting, or turbulence ? I have mine, but have been ill with covid and haven't been able to install or test them yet.

    Top Case Trunk for R18

    Thank you ! I'm very pleased with it. I came down ill with covid the day after I posted this. I have been very sick for nearly two weeks now, and have not done very well with it. I'm looking forward to being able to use it and test it well.

    Top Case Trunk for R18

    Last weekend I posted pics and a review of my 2-up Flat Luggage Rack from Holan Products. It was $235 total. Today I installed the Hepco & Becker Orbit 54L Top Case. I ordered it from Ebay merchant chromeburner at 10:40PM Tuesday evening, my time, in Central Illinois. The seller is from The...

    Installing foot pegs on a Classic with floorboards

    My Classic has pegs, and I'd love to have boards. I'll bet we could work out a way to do a swap. . . . . . . . I'd pay a fair difference if we could get it worked out. I'll send a message.

    Holan flat luggage rack for R18 Classic ?

    Just a note for R18 Classic owners-the adapters you see for sale on Holan's site, and elsewhere will not fit R18 Classic with stock saddlebags without moving the turn signals and/or redesigning the bottom bag mount. The bottom of the bag will not clear the bottom bag mount, to let the bags be...

    Holan flat luggage rack for R18 Classic ?

    Luggage Rack install was pretty straightforward. Until I was done. On my R18 Classic-the factory bag lids rubbed against the rail of the luggage rack. I went to the hardware store and got chrome spacers in 1/2" and 1/8" thicknesses for a total of 5/8" (about 16mm for you metric folks out there)...

    Holan flat luggage rack for R18 Classic ?

    My luggage rack arrived from Poland today. Right at 2 weeks. Looks pretty good. I'll post pics after I get it installed in the morning. R18Holan came through with no problem. Tomek was great to work with.

    R18 Classic windshield removal ?

    I have a rattle/vibration in the front of my bike and I think the lower mounts are the source of it. I plan to remove the windshield and ride for a day or two and see if it goes away. Wind protection can't be much worse without the windshield than with it. . . . . .LOLOL ! ! ! I love this bike...

    gas mileage

    I have ran 5 tanks through so far. 49mpg was my best full tank, 42mpg was my "worst". High speed highway and city driving seem to drive it down. Relaxed cruising on two lanes are the best. There's a lesson to be learned there. . . . . . ..LOL.

    What did you do to your R18 today?

    What are those bags ? BMW ? Available for sale ? I like them. I had some vintage fiberglass bags on a R75/5 years ago that looked really nice. These look great on this bike !

    Holan flat luggage rack for R18 Classic ?

    I didn't have any trouble once I proceeded to checkout. I think the translation was a bit awkward and the E-Pay seemed different than what I am accustomed to. It was no different than on any other online commerce site. Tomek was very gracious and helpful - responding on here, and then by email...
