    I’ve never private message anyone in this forum. How do you do it?

    What did you do to your R18 today?

    Today was a sad day for me. I made the decision to purchase the Pro Race full titanium system until I found out that the exchange rate from 2400 British # to US$ is about $3,000. This is crazy amount for a muffler system!! I’ll look for other options in the US.

    What did you do to your R18 today?

    I had Corbin custom make my solo seat w alligator design leather w/o extra charge. Before you have them alter the normal configuration, check the measurements carefully. If you move the seating position forward, it may sit you a tad higher because of the frame angle. It may also cramp your...

    What did you do to your R18 today?

    You are 100% correct Mr Zumerx!! Nothing compares to iridescent color of raw titanium. I like the titanium screws and bracket on my lumbar vertebrae not only because it is MRI compatible, it is superior to SS. I feel faster at 74😄!! The Pro Race full Ti has a clean design that I’ll be...

    I am excited for you to get your Pro Race full system!! Did you happen to look at the Markus Walz slip on mufflers option?

    What did you do to your R18 today?

    I am not sure if it does. It looks like it all the way back against the rear fender. The very bottom base of the seat is 7” to the mounting screw on the fender. I am sure that Corbin can also cushion it to seat you forward more if you need it. I am getting the backrest late this week or...

    What did you do to your R18 today?

    This maybe the solution I was looking for to provide stability and comfort w/o having to change from foot pegs to stock floorboards. That is pricey even at $300 a piece for foot pegs😄

    R18 with Pro-Race exhaust?? Opinions

    I am curious. You already have the DNA filter and BT Moto Tune on your bike w no mufflers. Do you still hear characteristics of a sewing machine? The full titanium Pro Race should provide a deeper tone but can the BTM tune change really change the characteristic sound? The BT Moto tune is...

    R18 with Pro-Race exhaust?? Opinions

    I bet you won’t succeed in leaving it alone!! I am in my mid 70’s and thought I’d purchase an R18 and ride it like a gentleman but no I had add $5k plus to give it my touch. It is probably just the beginning. Life is too short and never want act my age!!

    R18 with Pro-Race exhaust?? Opinions

    It’s too bad we’re not neighbors. I would’ve liked to soak up your expertise on the DNA filter and BT Moto tune over good bourbon ! I always thought that no tuning is necessary when changing to a straight thru mufflers or no mufflers. But changing to a DNA filter would make it a necessity...

    R18 with Pro-Race exhaust?? Opinions

    😂🤣 You and I must have ADD!! It’s always exciting to make the next big change to our bikes. My wife accused me once of purchasing a new Harley Deuce just to replace about 40% of the bike in the first year of ownership. I am now doing the same thing to the R18. You are one step ahead of me on...

    R18 with Pro-Race exhaust?? Opinions

    Wow!! I would really be pushing it if I was to ride my R18 w/o mufflers in my HiltonHead Sun City retirement community!! I am already pushing it w my 1933 streetrod w a blower😁. I love the sound and titanium look of the full Pro Race system😎

    R18 with Pro-Race exhaust?? Opinions

    Randy, I don’t disagree with your assessment and I am very much impressed w German quality and engineering. I have a Porsche suv that I wouldn’t alter in any way! But this old biker still has Harley blood flowing thru the veins. I am not happy unless I am personalizing my bikes. I never do...

    Designing and 3D print additional wind deflector to fit R18

    Hey Scott, I am impressed w the brain storming from experts in design and printing on this forum!! During everyone’s leisure, can you gentlemen design a clear deflector on top edge of the R18 BMW Motorrad medium windshield? The current height is ideal because my line of sight is above the top...

    R18 with Pro-Race exhaust?? Opinions

    I am currently waiting for the pylon seat and backrest delivery to complete my Corbin seat project. The next project is to order the Unit Garage Italian bag. I will have to pass on the Pro Race slip-ons for now and continue to use my slash cut fishtails. I spent hours on them and received...

    What did you do to your R18 today?

    Are you kidding!! A rider can pack for a whole weekend in your R18 hardshell bags!! Maybe even a week if you pack old disposable underwear and socks🤣😂

    What did you do to your R18 today?

    Thank you for your very thorough explanation! I will make plans to get the smaller size in black suede. It will go on the right side w a bracket that will move it forward approximately 4”. Left side has my license plate. If I wanted more volume capacity, I would’ve gotten a bagger but not my...

    What did you do to your R18 today?

    I noticed your Unit Garage Italian bag. It appears to be the larger size. I am very interested on the smaller bag which would fit my chopper style R18. How do you like the bag? How do you control the bag from sagging into the swing arm?
