    Another Navigation Question

    I think there may be one newer now however your current version starts with 013 so you shouldn’t be having the issues others were. Hopefully you get it resolved following the method above.

    R18 Helmet

    I wish my head fitted into one, DMD have had some great designs and they’re very low profile compared to others.

    R18 Helmet

    Most of them are actually made in China unless you order a custom one. Only Davida manufacture their helmets exclusively in the UK.

    R18 vs R18B - Parts Compatibility?

    Part numbers are the same for all models that I can see but it does state from 01/21 so there may have been a slight change in their design.

    R18 vs R18B - Parts Compatibility?

    Engine covers and trim are the same, the V&H accessory pipes are the same as the Classic. Pretty much everything else accessory wise is different 😂

    R18 First edition retrofit heated seats

    Heated Option 719 seat will be for the B/TC models and will not fit the R18/Classic.

    Bobber Set Questions

    There were some early suspicions that the wire was for seat heating if the seat was fitted to a B or TC model but it’s to do away with the keyless antenna ring under the standard seat. It’s referenced in the installation instructions as an audio frequency aerial. Black is the only colour...

    I want winglets on my bagger but I don't want to do any modifications

    This was me as I was intending to fit the winglets if the change of screen didn’t sort the buffeting but it did. Everyone seems to go bigger but I went with the short screen and it fixed shake completely for me. If I close the vents on my helmet it’s almost silent. Adam, it may be worth trying...

    R18 accessories only for 2021 models

    They were in the pipeline to be released with the bikes and then got repeatedly delayed which is how Wunderlich and Roadstyler have ended up taking the market share. None of them have the convenience of quick release like a HD one though which is a miss by BMW I think.

    Is my battery weak?

    As was my R18 I would have much rather had a US spec one that went to 130mph but I believe there is some old regulation here in the UK about being able to display mph/kph. About 1:20 in this vid scrolling through the menu shows over 14v running. About 7:30 in this one 12.6 not running.

    Is my battery weak?

    The 14.2v you saw would have been when the bike was running. You have nothing to worry about. This is mine ignition on only at 12.6v

    Personalised Number plates in UK

    https://www.autotrader.co.uk/bike-details/202212222721459 This one is £17,495 but does come with a free R18 😂 I’ve never had an issue with a standard 7 character 7x5 plate tbh, but that will depend on your local force. I’m in the South East and Kent/ Surrey/ Sussex forces all have better stuff...

    About to pull the trigger, How bad is the vibration?

    I think that depends on where you are located. Here in the UK and the same as my R18, the FE gives you the pinstripes and chrome. Everything else is an optional extra. Most of the first batch were specced up by dealers as demo bikes so have the majority of options except floor boards which was a...

    Deal of the year

    https://www.autotrader.co.uk/bike-details/202210040396059 This has been listed more recently than my previous R18 but has around 1k less miles and is £2k cheaper with all the same options so far as I can tell. Definitely seems to be a race to the bottom atm which is shame for the reasons you...
