    Looking for a swithched hot lead.

    Sounds like you may be using the switched power for the auxiliary lights if you have any R18 other than the B, T/C or Roctane. Try turning on power on the left combo switch under the mode button, with the bike running

    Does anyone have both the Transcontinental (or R18B) and K1600?

    Yes I have both and love them. Instead of the TC a K1600GTL and a R18B.

    Need Help Roctane seat option and light modification

    As I was stating I brought the 2-piece seat (the WRONG seat) before I knew there was a difference and was trying to save others from making the same mistake. I made it fit by removing the bracket holding the harnesses under the seat and re-routing the wires along with using a few spacers under...

    Need Help Roctane seat option and light modification

    I think you are correct and it is the opposite where the weekender is a little more comfort than the day rider. My experience is only with the Day rider and to me better than stock, but still not something you can ride for more than an an hour without stopping for a stretch. For the R18B, I...

    Custom emblems

    Same here, at least they finally just refunded my money after waiting a few months to get the all black roundels. I was quite disappointed because I was really looking forward to getting them. I think I could have worked with the aluminum ones had they sent me them but after the long wait I...

    Need Help Roctane seat option and light modification

    if you are looking at my seat not the case, I made the seat work because I was not aware that the bikes required different seats when I first got the bike. Since I had plans to get the original seat upholstered and reinstalled I temporarily removed the wire harness bracket just to get the seat...

    Need Help Roctane seat option and light modification

    Both of these seats are the Mustang DayRider. The 1 piece seat is for the R18B, T/C & Roctane. The 2 piece seat is for all other versions of the R18

    Need Help Roctane seat option and light modification

    they have both the weekender and the Day rider for the Roctane. Both should be a one piece seat. The weekender will be more comfortable than the day rider. The 2 piece seats are not intended for our bikes.

    Need Help Roctane seat option and light modification

    Actually if it is the 2 piece seat it is the seat for the classic. I found out the hard way. I purchased the Day Rider when I first brought my R18B and after I received it I found out there were differences in the seats. The R18B, T/C & Roctane all use a one piece seat because they hide wire...

    Need Help Roctane seat option and light modification

    both are only dealer options. Took me a minute to find that out when I first got my R18B, but the only place you can get them from. Some dealers do sell through eBay, but your nearest BMW dealer will be your best option for a Mustang Day Rider or Weekender seat

    Need Help Roctane seat option and light modification

    They do have a weekender and day rider for the Roctane that is a one piece seat and not the 2 piece seats made for the classic. To me the Day rider is better than stock but still no good for hour long stretches without a break. Not sure about the weekender but I hear it is far better.

    BMW Connected App

    Same here, I really have minimum issues with the connected app. Some parts I love about it, some I hate, Like the fact that you have to go to Media and press play everytime you start your bike... Why not autoplay or give you the option to turn that feature on? Also the fact that you have to...

    Next time you have the "2D Nav" if you check your phone you will see the 3D maps displayed on it. Normally all I have to do is click join wifi and the 3D map will switch back to the bike

    Do you normally store your phone in the bike side cases while you ride? Just asking because that is the only time I really have issues with disconnects.

    Safe travels should be a blast, as long as you don't have to deal with this southern heat.
