    https://www.shopbmwmotorcycles.com/oem-parts/bmw-motorrad-set-mini-led-blinkers-front-black-77515a1a282 I have some on order. My dealer said they’re sold singularly but I’m not so sure. Some places they’re described as a set as in the link above and some I’ve seen them described as a left or...

    Customs R18

    Here in the UK they’ve released a number of bikes in limited colours. It was meant to be 40. 10 in Marina Bay Blue which is pictured, 10 in Sunset Orange, 10 in Purple Silk and 10 in Verde Ermes. They’ve now done a further 10 in Skyscraper Grey.

    I may consider the winglets, there was a guy on a FB group that had sprayed them black which looked a lot better IMO. Not a fan of tall screens so I’ve ordered the short one and the mini indicators meaning there should be no rubbing issues if I do decide to add the winglets at a later date...

    Anyone install the 6.5" "Apehanger" handlebars?

    If I’d kept my R18 the mini apes are the ones I’d have bought but I’d have had to find a way of running the wires internally. No idea why bmw thought cable ties fixing them to the outside would be acceptable. You will need to change the clutch and brake lines, Wunderlich includes them with...

    DRL- daytime running light R18FE

    I saw the option to turn it off but never did it. I guess the dipped beam is on all the time now instead. I think I still have the option on the bagger but haven’t felt the need to try it as I mostly ride in the daytime anyway and never found the light annoying. I use the hill hold every ride 😂...

    You’ve turned the DRL off?

    Brentune completed!

    The actual filter itself is the same, you can choose their stage 2 option though which will allow you to delete the OEM filter lid and snorkels.

    Welcome 👋🏻 The winglets don’t fit the B without modification. I’ve seen one member trim them, another did the TC light bar setup.

    R18 Jekill & Hyde Install and Thoughts

    Have considered it but I think they need to be a bit longer to pull it off. Would be nice for the tip to be inverted and inline with the rear of the bag IMO.

    Transcontinental Back Rest

    There is/ should be a Mustang Cross Country seat coming for the B/TC which will accept the rider backrest that’s already available for the other R18 models. I posted Here with the part number which was an answer by one of those R18 promoters for BMW in response to someone asking the same question.

    Happy to be aboard!

    Welcome 👋🏻 If you haven’t already, make sure sure you check your rear preload. My heel shifter on my R18 was at a ridiculous height from factory. Swapped the levers around so that the heel shifter was the outermost one which meant I could lower it. This moved the toe shifter further in which I...

    DRL- daytime running light R18FE

    From memory, when mine was on it meant the DRL was on. If I went through a woodland section or tunnel, the dipped beam would come on and the green symbol on the dash would go out.

    Any luck with After Market Floorboards?

    Appears so, this is from the install manual to do the complete conversion.

    Grab Bars

    Love handles, also conveniently the name for a product which you can use for the this purpose https://www.oxfordproducts.com/motorcycle/brands/oxford/travel_and_transportation/ridergrips_passenger_grab_handles/

    Here are some more mods......

    Have the protection bars been redesigned now? I recall a couple of members had missing powdercoat in the same place after installing them. I love the look of them but not at the expense of causing damage elsewhere. The cooler cover is nice too 👍🏻
