R18C closer to the Heritage Classic imo. I think BMW may have had more success with a RKS competitor eg using the R18B/ TC frame and hard bags etc but just a single headlight up front rather than fairing. Don’t think we’ll see any other models other than what we have now though.
Can’t say I recall seeing that post but having the fan in front of the cooler sounds like a disaster waiting to happen. The HD oil cooler fan sits behind it but is also plugged into the bike and activates at certain temps so I guess you’d have to have a switch mounted somewhere but remember to...
Managed to get out this afternoon, albeit briefly. Huge improvement with the lower screen for me. It’s almost like being back on my R18 but without the wind hitting my torso. No buffeting, just clean air hitting my helmet which I’m fine with. Tried up to 50mph with my visor wide open which I...
Potentially, not entirely sold on the look of them on a bagger but the indicators mean they’ll fit without interference should I decide to.
I’m south east UK 👍🏻 tomorrow is meant to be dry but we’ll see. I’m looking forward to testing the screen.
Not ridden since making these changes, fingers crossed I’ll be able to get out on it tomorrow even if it’s not for long.
I’m hoping for good things though, I didn’t want a huge screen and no air, I just want clean air to reduce the buffeting.
I will try and get a pic/ video of the indicators...
Can’t really see them when they’re off (which is kind of the idea) but they are as visible if not more visible than the OEMs when illuminated. We used these on a lot of the custom builds when I worked at HD so I know they’re good.
Bar end mirrors next and that’ll be the top line of the fairing...
The ribbed seat is standard on ‘22 models so you should be able to order one. I really like the look of it but no real gain for the outlay other than that.
This afternoon I fitted the micro indicators, TFT protector and tinted wind deflector to my R18B. It was dark by the time I’d finished so no completed pics yet but I’m very happy with how it looks now. I did find a pic online of a non FE R18B with the same screen and indicators fitted to give an...
Will do, I am unsure about the need for coding. Install manual doesn’t mention it but it does on the accessory page which is odd.
I was talking to an R18 owner a few months back who had had his one customised by Pier City Cycles and from what he said to me, when they did just the front...
