Yes sir.

Back seat

Sure, I will snap and upload some photos tonight.

I put one of the Roland Sands fastback seats on my R18 and I have the solo comfort (tall) seat and passenger pillion (rear seat) for sale. Both saw less than 3,000 miles of use, the passenger seat was only used a few times. Both are in great shape, no tears, holes or serious scratches. The...

I have. The install was easy. With the baffles in they are just barely louder than the stock fish tails with a slightly different tone.

Around 30, and only when streets are clean and dry. Around here they use liquid salt, which makes the streets greasy, so once that gets laid down I prefer to wait for a good rain to rinse it off. That means that most years either December or January, or sometimes both, shut me out. There may...

Gateway BMW is great. Congrats on the new bike!

Somewhere around 2600 miles 14 months in. Of the 3 bikes I rode regularly last year, I rode the R18 the least. For me it's a niche purpose bike, not my every day choice.

Yeah, it originated with the ADV crowd, which is funny because nobody farkles bikes more than Harley boys.

I have the Vance and Hines installed, it's very nicely made and bolted right up. It's not noticeably louder than my stock fish tails. I already had the tuner installed for a stock bike and it runs well with both exhausts.

One I test rode before I bought mine had the same problem. The plastic must be brittle. I'm not sure what the best fix is though.

If you want to make it an epic journey where you fly and ride your bike home, I recommend Gateway BMW in St Louis. I've bought a few bikes from them over the years and have always been treated fairly. They have some of the best prices on R18's in the country and they are moving to a new...

BMW may be the only brand that gives Ducati a run for your money when it comes to service. I typically do my own maintenance expect for the first one and the first maintenance was the most expensive I've had on any bike (somewhere around 20), including the Ducati I had. Now granted, that...

Welcome! Does the air cooled engine give you any trouble in hot weather? You likely see higher temps than most of the people here. I've found my R18 to run great in the heat, but haven't had it in temps over 95 F. (35 C)

The R18 is a great value on the used market right now, you can get a nearly new model for about 60% of the cost of a similar model from Indian or Harley. The bike is also better built and better engineered than those brands as well. Mine was hit by a van and I did the work myself to repair and...

Yes, the mini-ape bars are the ones I am looking at.

Not sure how a 6" rise is considered apes, but I'll blame it on German language failed translation. But regardless, looking at these bars and they look to have more rise, less pullback and less width than the stock bars. From what I can tell from measurements they will suit me better and look...

From work with other bikes, you'd need longer fork tubes. I bet if you disassemble and measure them up you will find a product for one of the other brands that matches. A fork tube is a fork tube, just need the diameter and length right.

The base model came with fork covers in 2021 and in 2022 they don't.
