on another point.....
I would hate to buy the BMW $2500 billet accessory floor boards only to not like their ergonomics after buying them and trying them out.
I would also hate to spend the $1300 for the BMW OEM floor boards also to find out I don't like the ergonomics, ......which luckily I...
I have to say that BMW is really lacking (sucks big time) in the accessory and parts department as compared to Harley. Aside that the Harley accessory book catalog is about two inches tick with parts, the problem I find with BMW is that they do not specify enough about additional parts needed...
from the wunderlich web site, these are their stock photos, ........

Why not buy the "replacement" floor boards that come s an option on the base R18 as shown in my move post ?
The $2500 ones that are accessory are high end billet units. I am sure the cheaper original factory ones pictured above are just cast steel.
In my opinion BMW would have hit a sales volume home run and would never had to discount if the r18 was released back in the day instead of that stupid miss mosh of a pseudo cruiser R1200C, the James Bond cruiser bike. Those were the cruiser heydays. Imagine the R18 released in 1997 in the peak...
Possibly the mirror vibration is resultant of either the length or actually the lack of length in the mirror stem, or possibly the fact that the stem does not screw into a threaded hole ? Just some thoughts
I assume a threaded stem would be more secure than a stem dropped into a hole and then...
