    Interesting change in my bike

    So I've had my bike out of winter storage for a couple of months now. When I took it out of winter storage it was the same R18B it was when I put it away for the winter. The OEM Bridgestones were pretty well shot, so I recently had a fresh set of Commander II's installed. My initial...

    Starting difficulty

    Lately, my bike (2022 bagger) will crank but not start occasionally. It so far has always started immediately on the second attempt. I've never had any issues with the bike except for recently having to replace the battery. Any suggestions are appreciated.

    Road Styler luggage rack install

    So today I decided to install the luggage rack that came with my bike. I bought my R18 used and it already had the Road Styler backrest installed. It had the luggage rack, but it was uninstalled. I'm thinking this is maybe a 15 minute exercise, after all, its only four bolts in and out. Or...

    Mirror/Lever install

    I installed new levers and mirrors this week. Today was the first opportunity to get some pics. Both installs are very straightforward. It took about 10 minutes per side to do the mirror and lever. I really like both better than the stock components. The RSD mirrors look better and are more...

    3 month review

    So I've had my R18 B for about 3 months now. The riding weather has been limited, but I've put about 500 miles on it so far. I'm sure my initial opinions will develop over time, but as of now I like this bike more every time I ride it. It took me awhile to realize it doesn't want to be ridden...

    Galaxy Dust touch up paint

    I've been looking everywhere to find Galaxy Dust touch up paint. I found an online retailer that listed it in this color. I ordered it only to have them email me two days later saying they couldn't make it. I'm curious if anyone has seen this anywhere. If so, I'd be interested in knowing the...

    Smart HJC 21b or 50B

    I'm looking for experience with the Sena based Smart HJC 21B or 50B. My wife and I both have HJC i91 modular helmets and these are the choices we have for comms if we use what is available for the built in options. We don't ride with big groups, so connecting to multiple other riders is not a...

    B&W Biker Bar

    Does know if the B&W Biker Bar hauling fixture works with the R18B? It looks like it was specifically made for Harleys, but the website says that it will fit some metric bikes.

    ACC retrofit

    I'm curious if anyone here has attempted to retrofit a non-ACC bike with the ACC hardware. Everything I've read is that the bikes use a common wiring harness, so I would guess the connections are there. Not sure if it would need a software update to work.

    Transcontinental trunk removal

    Hey guys, I have a question that may have been asked and answered before, but if so I couldn't find a thread on it. I'm in the market for an R18 and I'm curious if anyone has ever removed the trunk from their Transcontinental for regular commuting duty. I want the full TC package for touring...

    Hello from Kansas

    Greetings everyone. Thank you for the add. I'm new to BMW motorcycles, but have had a series of the cars. I'm also new to the touring market after many years of liter sport bikes. After several months of research and shopping, I've decided to purchase a new Transcontinental over a Harley...
