Update: Helibars installed with the Memphis Shades hand guards in place. Was able to go on a 300 mile test ride. Mostly 70 MPH highway ride through the Gorge on I-84 here in Oregon. It was a fairly windy day. They absolutely made a discernible difference in keeping the back of my hands from...

I totally understand and relate to the “frustration” of limited cargo capacity. Between the speakers 🔊 in the saddlebag lids and the trunk space is limited to say the least. I think I could pack more into my two non speaker Harley hard bags than I can in the Transcontinental saddlebags and trunk...

I too am 6’3” tall with a 33” inseam and weight about 180lbs. I put a Mustang dayrider with backrest on my R18 and it was a huge improvement. I highly recommend that seat.

Just in case anyone was wondering what hand guards are an excellent option: Memphis Shades: MEB7217 These hand guards fit perfectly without any modifications. This part number has both equal size/length mounting brackets for throttle and clutch sides. They seem very well made with good...

Glad to have you here. Thanks for sharing your story. I am sure many of us would love to hear more in depth about your trip. This is THE place for all things R18. A plethora of information. Hope the “new” bike serves you and your future grandchildren well!

I decided against it for now. Still want to give it a try mainly to see how it improves handling.

Thank so much for posting these pictures. This is exactly what I was hoping to find. Are you able to comment any further on the low speed handling improvement? Thanks!

Do I need to email BMW directly to receive a credit towards accessories? I had my reverse disabled when the bike was at the dealership for headlight recall replacement. The reverse was disabled for more than 3 months before it finally got fixed. When the dealer originally told me about the...

I just might make a special trip for that! Beautiful time of the year in Oregon.

Mt. Hood Oregon.

Utopia rider backrest in “Sport” size and a 19” 7Jurock smoked windscreen. Happy with both so far. Both the 7Jurock and Utopia were top notch quality.

In case anyone was genuinely interested….. 🙄 🤦‍♂️ https://www.nationalcycle.com/hand-deflectors-mt.html

The bike is ready for Rhythm and Rides Reunion. Fresh fluids, filters, valve inspection and set to .254 and fresh tires. Well I did my part. Bike is currently at dealer having reverse recall fix performed.

You may want to contact your local Michelin representative. Send Michelin an email or give them a call. I have the Commander from factory on my Transcontinental. While I was at the BMW MOA National Rally I spoke with the rep at the Michelin booth about a howling front tire that appears to be...

I noticed the R18s and was thinking the same thing. Must have either got them super cheap or had them donated by BMW.

Give a shout out to KST Customs and see what they can fabricate for you. https://www.kstkustoms.com/

Is BMW Motorcycles of Milwaukie the closest authorized dealer to you? Thanks 🙏

Mopar. Dodge/Jeep/Ram dealership.

My dealer said last week he is really hoping that they will have a solution by August because he would really like to move some bikes that currently have a stop sale until the recall is remedied. AUGUST!!! Yikes. Just glad they are working on it and honestly hope it isn’t a rush job. Would...
