    Broken Seat Screws

    I'd try heating the screw. Not with a flame but with a soldering iron, in order to melt the goo.

    to seat or not to

    Do a search with Seat or Saddle. This is a central topic on the forum. Lot of options to discover. I personally switched to a Corbin seat. Very happy with it.

    Aftermarket rear trunk tour on Bagger.

    I installed the same trunk on my FE on a Holan rack. I had to add self adhesive rubber bands (25mm x2.5mm) to damper the clangs from the lid. You'll notice your helmet fits in this top case, and not in the TC one. My sweet heart loves the comfort and the safety of the curved backrest. I gave...

    DK Design Cylinder Cover Guards

    I'll test that it could be interesting. I rode the bike this afternoon and, looking closely to it, I'm not sure the engine guards are still wider than the cylinder cover guards. We need to be 3 at least to try it safely.

    DK Design Cylinder Cover Guards

    I've received and installed them today, the 450 usd sale. They fit perfectly, and they considered protecting the roundel screws with rubber bands. I added electrical tape on the outside relief band to add some protection. I shouldn't have any dent I hope. The lower cylinder protection isn't...

    What did you do to your R18 today?

    I've ordered these. I like the rubber band protection underneath. And the "since 1923" retro look copper roundel. :LOL: I'll check the roundel bolts length and probably manage to put a thin rubber liner to avoid dents on the OEM cover.

    I'm looking for a used R18 FE stock seat set in the UK.

    You should have a look at Corbin. They are not far from Mexico and make great seats on your own specifications. I had no trouble ordering from France. And above all they don't need any structure, they build their own. https://www.corbin.com/bmw/bmwr18menu.shtml But you might already know them...

    Customs R18

    Waow ! I love this one. When I pre-ordered mine in sept 2019 I asked to have it painted white just like this one! They could reward me for ordering a bike without having ever seen it one year before they released it... They said impossible sadly.

    Sound under the tank!!

    You should record it.

    Sound under the tank!!

    Do you have a crash bar? Some designs are very close to the frame at the top and might interfere at some resonance frequencies.

    What kind of sound?

    Goobie - Nova Scotia - 2022 R18B

    I like this photo. One can smell the lobster traps thru it. I spent quite a lot of time in Maine. Nova Scotia is on the next place to go. Welcome on the forum.

    I like the color scheme but the ape hanger doesn’t make it for me.

    What did you do to your R18 today?

    These bags are the old 21l leather covered R1200C bags I think.

    Has anyone ever put their R18B on a Ferry?

    I made several overnight passages on ferries from France to Sicilia, Sardegna, Corsica. I prefer to seize the straps on the frame, higher than the crash bar.

    Engine/crash bars

    Looks sturdy. So you had to remove the exhaust to install it?
