    to seat or not to

    I had the Day Rider seat on my R18. Much more comfortable, can be used without pillion and aesthetically, suited the bike imo.

    Exhaust manifold/ Headers

    You’d have to get a set made I imagine, BugBike is the only one I’ve seen so far.

    I'm looking for a used R18 FE stock seat set in the UK.

    This one is available on eBay here in the UK

    Has anyone ever put their R18B on a Ferry?

    No need to spoil the lines of the bike with ugly and unnecessary engine bars. There is space to get a strap around the saddlebag support bars in front of the bags if you need a rear point as well but up front, loop a strap either side of the headstock above the lower triple tree.

    My gawd, how did I get here?

    Windscreen Tinting?

    Hi, the turbulence has completely gone for me. I’ve ridden with visor up (admittedly I wear specs) to 80mph and it was fine. I currently have a Shoei NXR (I think this is the RF1200 in the US?) and I tried closing all the front vents on my ride at the weekend and it was virtually silent. The...

    Goobie - Nova Scotia - 2022 R18B

    Welcome 👋🏻 I found on both my R18 and now R18B with footboards and the heel shifter, that switching them around on the shaft allowed me to lower the heel shifter and it sat further out so much easier to use. Enjoy it 👍🏻

    Navigation on the Bagger & TC Models

    I used it for the first time on Saturday and thought it was great tbh. I had everything muted though and was just following the map in the right side of the split screen. Directions were clear including distance to turns etc. I don’t have a helmet comms system so can’t comment on that. I had...

    What did you do to your R18 today?

    No it’s not necessary, the bike can make its own adjustments. Same with the exhaust, it has wideband o2 sensors.

    What did you do to your R18 today?

    Combined with the DNA stage 2 filter, I think you’ll be happy. Had a long ride today and it’s better than standard that’s for sure. I will probably still change the exhaust on mine but it was nice to have a consistent sound from the back of the bike. Bum dyno felt the pick-up was better too. The...

    NOLA new 22 R18

    Welcome 👋🏻 You should have been given the manual along with the 10/13mm spanner that doesn’t fit with the rest of the onboard tools?

    Handlebar adjustment on TC

    You will need to remove many, many bolts to get at them. Most of the front end has to come apart to get at those bolts. Have a look through some of the accessory installation manuals for indicators on the bagger and it will show you the process to remove the TFT as I had to when I fitted them.

    Holiday Deal Thread 2022

    Pretty common in the motorcycle industry. Just the same as you can’t buy certain akrapovic exhausts for Yamaha, Ducati etc other than from the manufacturer. You can’t buy the R18 Vance & Hines pipes from them or any of the Mustang seats direct either.
