TC doesn’t come in black finish, only the bagger. You can either buy a TC and powdercoat everything or buy a bagger and add the parts. Neither will be cheap.

I can’t see the post now but he’s in the R18 FB group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/bmwr1800/permalink/426342508381784/

Not really an issue for us here in the UK most of the year but I recall watching a Matt Laidlaw video when they were going to Zion National park and some of them had cooling vests on, seems like a cheap and simple enough option which worked for them but maybe not to everyone’s taste.

All you had to do in the 4.5 hours before getting the hump that you hadn’t had a response to your original post, was look in your manual. BMW even have them online should you not have it in your hand at that particular time. I didn’t, and I’m sure other forum members didn’t appreciate your...

Not mine, but I have seen this bike posted on here before. Not sure if the owner is on here still or not.

You have got to be kidding me. Never thought of maybe looking in that little book that came with your bike? The one titled owners manual? The one which tells you about maintenance like how to remove the wheels?

Welcome 👋🏻

Saw this reel on instagram earlier and grabbed some screenshots, appears to be painted to my eyes but hard to tell.

Not necessarily. Anything that isn’t an official recall is usually marked by VIN and when the vehicle is next in for a service, it’s undertaken then. Sometimes known as a quality enhancement also depending on the manufacturer.

Too many variables possibly? What helmet, how you sit on the bike I.e. torso vs. leg length as part of height, variance in individual tolerances of wind/ buffeting, whether you’ve ridden similar bike previously etc etc.

My 13 Pro Max fits without a case but I’ve not ridden with the phone in there. I know when I had my m4 there was a guy 3D printing a different holder for inside the armrest as bigger phones wouldn’t fit in the wireless changing cradle. Maybe someone has the facility to do similar on here?

Turbulence has gone for me with the wind deflector fitted. Clean air hitting my helmet and no riot shield bolted to the fairing.

Have you tried without the backrest? I can’t see a dealer taking your seat back but maybe it’s different in the US. I also can’t see that the Cross Country seat will solve your issue either, you’ll be pushed even closer to the tank I think even if it does sit you marginally higher. Time for the...

Just a preference, I said I wanted an identical setup to my trade in. Obviously costs them less than retail for the parts but still a good deal for me.

Today I removed the OEM mirrors in favour of some Arlen Ness mini ovals. Having changed the screen, I wanted to streamline the front profile to suit. I was almost certain I was going to go for bar end Rizoma mirrors but when I rode last week to test the screen, I figured I wouldn’t actually be...

OEM BMW bars fit all R18. Wunderlich rear bag guards are currently being redesigned. There is some I’ve seen from Thailand made by the same guys there that do exhausts but they’re nowhere near as nice as the Wunderlich ones. Get what you pay for ultimately.

My R18 had floorboards, test rode the R18B with these pegs and hated it. My dealer installed the boards, shift levers and brake lever and I’m much happier. I found the heel on my boots was locking against the original bagger pegs and making shifting awkward as well as not being able to move my...

I would try a vinyl wrap place like you suggested or even just have it painted. I have a dark tint screen but BMW call it a ‘wind deflector’ and stops a lot lower than the OEM screen so probably not what you’re looking for.

Welcome 👋🏻 can recommend the Day Rider seat if you want more comfort without losing the retro aesthetic of the bike.
