Successfully loaded my R18 Pure for the first time on to my new trailer today. It's an Alpha Sport - a knock-off copy of a Kendon fold-up trailer. Looks sturdy enough, and I've checked all the nuts, bolts, and welds. Used Rhino retractable straps, which were a breeze to use. Have security...

Looks good, Noelpolar. I went with DK Design levers and Lidlox helmet lock and bar ends to slim down the controls. The OEMs were just too bulky in my opinion. Good luck with your move.

You're nicely camouflaged in that big back yard! Ha!:)

Thanks for the tips and mosquito alert, Nathan. I'm anticipating rain from all the videos I've watched, so I'll be packing water-proof riding gear. Won't be camping on this trip. Think I've reached my camping expiration date at my older age. :)

Looks good, DonC, How do you like the Unit Garage mufflers?

Hello Ct Ed, I've been experimenting with wind management on my R18 Pure to prepare for this first long trip. I've added a clear generic windshield extension to the Wunderlich fairing and their slightly taller touring screen, and I've added hand guard protectors that I found on Amazon. Both...

Thanks for the tip, brcolbourne, I'll check into it. I'm still very much in the planning stages for routes for the trip, and welcome any advice and suggestions.

Thanks, Anibal. Mine is a "new" 2023 left-over bike with less than 1,000 miles since the first service, which I did myself. Tires are almost new, so I think I'm good to go. I am a little concerned about not being able to lock the luggage, so I'll have to remove and unpack everything...

I've been practice-packing for my first long trip on my 2023 R18 Pure. Going to the eastern Canadian provinces for a 3-4 week trip in mid-June - up the east coast from Philadelphia to Maine, across into Canada, ferry to Nova Scotia, then on to Newfoundland, Labrador, and then back. Trailering...

Yes, trimming with a variable speed scroll saw and sanding with a Dremel tool would easily remove that flared lip without reducing its effective length too much. I was surprised how well it fit my Pure's fender where it attaches underneath, and the double sided 3M tape has worked well so far...

Very good, Witsend. I'd make sure you add "Rocktane R18" to your search to find an extension that's compatible for your bike. Out of curiosity, I priced a Roctane fender on Max BMW microfiche in Manhattan Matte, and it was $900 plus, which is a pretty hefty replacement price to pay if you mess...

Reversing the fender does look like it covers more of the engine plate, but agree it looks a little blocky in front now. The generic fender extension that I recently added to my Pure has a similar tapered shape as your now "backwards" Roctane fender. Wonder what it would look like on your bike?

Hello, Witsend. Got the CHIFUN Front Fender Extender off Amazon - about $30. Used high-strength 3M tape to install. Didn't want to drill holes in the fender.

I went with a much cheaper solution - a generic plastic fender extender that adds about 8" of length to the fender. Not too ugly, in my opinion, but it serves its purpose well to keep mud and road grime off the engine case and oil cooler. Used high-strength double-sided 3M tape to install.

Like that larger fender. (y) Does it prevent road grit being thrown up on the engine case cover and oil cooler?

Hello Goobiwan, I have Denali front D7s and a rear B6 brake light on my 2023 Pure using a HEX ezCan accessory manager. Don't know if Denali lights are compatible with the Clearwater components.

Welcome, NM_Jason. Good looking bike. Like the paint. Enjoy.

Welcome, felixj. Photos are required. :)

Yes, my question about retro-fitting a reverse gear on my 2023 Basic seems possible, but it would be a money pit. Thanks for the replies. I don't understand Star-Lord's comment about liking turtles, but it's probably none of my business, anyway. Thanks for the laugh! :)
