    Does anyone know offhand what the stock diameter of the 22 TC's handlebars is?

    Another Navigation Question

    I connect my phone to the cradle so I can listen to the songs I have stored on my phone, in the "media" function. Then I switch over to nav, and the music keeps playing, of course, but if I want to change songs, I have to toggle it back over to the Media function to do that. I can change the...

    Another Navigation Question

    Because I'm using my phone in the bike's cradle for music. I've got 10,000 songs saved on my phone. ;-) That way I don't have to toggle back and forth on the TFT between navigation and "media" to change songs.

    If I wanted to just avoid the frustrations of the nav function and go with a portable unit, which one would you recommend, what cradle / mounting options would I need, and where would you plug it into the bike for power? Thanks!

    Babe’s with R18

    No doubt!

    What did you do to your R18 today?

    Looks like I got a tiny bit sloppy with my “keep it inside the lines” work. I’ll clean that up with an exacto knife when it cures. 🤪

    What did you do to your R18 today?

    An experiment. Added copper color to the Roland Sands valve covers and the bolts holding it on. Keeping with the theme of green and copper on the rest of the bike.

    Need a recommendation for a headlight protection cover.

    Anyone? for a '22 TC. Found this one, but was wondering what others thought. Thanks! https://aeroflowscreens.com/product/r18baggerhlc/

    I don't suppose there's a way to update the software WITHOUT taking it to a dealership, is there?

    If it makes the new sub sit up any higher than the stock sub, no... The luggage lid cover / speaker grill would not fit. There's almost no space between the driver and the wire grill.

    Look for 1st edition welcome box

    I have the first edition box, the book, the white gloves, the traditional blue badges (2 of them) if anyone needs them. I kept the belt, I lost the hat, and I'm using the copper badges on my bike.

    I traced a template from the BMW stock sub.

    yes, the BMW speaker has 4 wires to each speaker. I got the idea for the replacement from a guy on an R18 FB group, and he said he has decades experience with car audio installs. He's the one that said you have to get 2-ohm, dual voice coil subs to replace the BMW's. The ONE that I've done so...

    Pinstriping !

    I had some very subtle pinstriping put on mine. Can't even see it until you're closer than 6 feet to the bike.

    You have to replace them with 2 ohm, dual voice coil subs. I didn't take pics of the wiring. I may try to figure out how to solve the mismatched hole issue and put in the other sub after all. Just got to think about it some more. If I do I'll take pics. Basically because the subs are dual...

    ABORT! This was a terrible idea. I got one sidecase done and decided NOT to do the other. For one thing the hole pattern for screwing down the speaker doesn't match the hole pattern on the stock driver. So I was only able to use one of the factory holes / screws to attach it down. For the...

    I did one tonight. Will do the other tomorrow, and take pics during the process.

    audio system settings

    Well that turned out to be a WAY more difficult job than anticipated. The factory subs are connected via a wire clip that has 4 terminals (dual voice coil) with 4 wires. I had to pry the clip housing off the speaker, and unsolder two of the wires from the speaker to get it free of the speaker...

    S/W version on my bike is 012_008_040. Just looked... I HOPE that's the latest. If it ain't, I'm gonna be pissed at the technician who told me it was.

    Yeah, I thought about that. I think I'm going to spray them with a light coating of clear liquid rubber. There are several companies that make it.
