Star-Lord, Other than being more expensive than the Wunderkind 2Stripes by about $150 for the pair, can you speak to pros or cons on the RSD levers from your experience? Thanks.

I'm interested in clutch and brake lever options, too. The OEM levers just feel bulky and over-sized for my hands/fingers. I came across the Wunderkind 2-Stripes Levers online. Look really good to me - sleek and stylish. Anyone have them installed? Any good opinions or reviews?

Just thought I'd share this. Put these on my bike today - Lidlox Helmet Locks - which replace the bar end weights. Not a big deal, but a very clever solution for keeping your expensive helmet(s) safe when traveling. They come in pairs or singles. I got the pair so the two bar ends would match...

Welcome, Bloogdad. New member here, too. What you need is a Hex GS 911, which is essential and indispensable if you want to do your own service. You'll need a laptop and internet connection, too, and then you're good to go for checking for faults and resetting the service reminder. I...

Welcome, Beamegone, from another new member (Texas).

Thanks for the tips, Noelpolar. Sounds like this might be a better job for shop to do. I'll tackle the rear shock myself. I'm mostly a DIY guy, but this is the first BMW I've owned that doesn't have a Haynes Shop Manual available.

Another suspension question from a new member - this time about replacing the front springs on my 2023 R18 (Basic/Pure model) with Wilbers Progressive springs. I've ordered the parts for both front and rear Wilbers suspension parts, which will take a few weeks for delivery. In the meantime, I'm...

R2K, yes, I have my Kern-Stabi lift ready to go. (y)

Thanks again, Star-Lord, yes, I read the Wilbers Shock thread - which was the reason I ordered the Wilbers +20mm. I've found the torque value for the suspension bolts (100 Nm), and I see now that I'll need to remove the fender to access the lower bolt. I was hoping not to have to do this...

Thanks, Star-Lord. I'll look up the Bobber Kit instructions. Hoping I won't have to take off the rear fender or mufflers to access the bottom bolt. I have a Kern-Stabi lift like yours, so that should make the job easier when the Wilbers arrives - looks like up to a 4 week wait for delivery.

Hoping that someone has installed a Wilbers rear shock and can provide some advice or how-to tips, or direct me to an instructional YouTube video. Searched the forum, but not much info except for some good reviews. Thanks in advance.

Hello All, Looking for recommendations for rear guards for my R18 (basic) with BMW soft saddlebags installed. I have OEM gloss black engine guards on the front, and would like something similar to protect the rear. I've done a quick search and saw the RoadStyler Back Guards, but hoping to hear...

Good eye for detail, Star-Lord. I missed the decal. BMWs, and R18s in particular, are rare sights in TX. Just curious if anyone knows the owner. :)

My wife is on a road trip to AZ through west TX and saw this Transcontinental in the parking lot. She texted me this photo. Belong to anyone on this forum?

Thanks for the welcome.! I've been busy sorting out my R18, using helpful information from the forum. I've added auxiliary Denali D7 lights, a B6 brake light, and a Soundbomb Mini using a Hex EZ Can controller (specified for the K1600). Wired my phone and GPS, installed a gel seat insert...

Traded in my 2016 GSA for a good deal on a 2023 R18. I've been a BMW owner and rider for 40 years, but this cruiser is quite a departure for me. I've been doing my diligent homework on the forum. trying to catch up on all the relevant information. Added a Wunderlich fairing, BMW saddlebags and...

Hello RyBread, I'm a new member - waiting to introduce myself to the forum until my R18 is delivered sometime this week. On one of your posts, you said that the Hex EZ Can for the BMW k1600 and R9T models will work on the R18. Just wanted to get your advice and find out if this indeed true. Thanks.
