It’s the same bars. CraftRide is the name of the manufacturer for his bars and mine. He wrote Road Craft in his first post but then CraftRide later. Hornig is a reseller. My bars had the CraftRide stickers on them. I found shipping by Hornig was less expensive than Motea but Motea is running a...

I actually think the black is a good match but it isn’t an exact match. The black on the bars is a flat black finish and the frame color is more glossy. I really don’t notice the difference. The frame is in the left and the bars are on the right.

I also noticed you got the quick release sissy bar model. I like that since I don’t think my cover is big enough for the sissy bar and I’d probably take it off when my significant other isn’t riding with me. Did you think it’s good quality and now that you have one would you buy the quick...

How do you like the sissy bar? How was the install? It looks good. I like that it’s black like the engine bars. My significant other wanted a sissy bar and I was thinking of adding one but the BMW offerings don’t exist. I haven’t looked into other brands yet.

Thanks guys I appreciate it! Tom

I like the I TodkaVonic, You did a great job. I really like the Motogadget mo.blaze disc. I think they would look great on my Classic. 2 questions.: 1. When you tested the lights did you still have the original lights connected? I’m wondering if the current draw of both the original...

I was waiting for the Fillister (Torx head) BMW screws to install mine (as I mentioned earlier in this thread) and then I got barraged at work which delayed me. I finally had time last night to install the bars. I’ve got the Classic and there is an extra wire that runs where the brake lines go...

Usually I wear an old Hein Gericke leather jacket. I graduated college in 1990 and it was a graduation gift from my parents. Other than some zipper repairs it's still in great shape. It was a lot looser on my when I graduated. I'm working on losing some weight to loosen it up. ;)

I added one of the Marlin clocks between the handlebar risers as shown here https://r18forums.com/threads/handlebar-mounted-clock-and-thermometers.459/#post-7166 . So far it's been keeping good time and has stayed in place.

Thanks. I was having trouble locating a BMW M10X40 10.9 Torx and I found one, https://parts.maxbmw.com/p/BMW__/Fillister-head-screw/78914842/46539909561.html , and ordered it today. I couldn't locate a Torx head substitute for the main M10X55 bolt that holds the two halves of the bars together...

When I bought my bike the dealer had sold their last Classic the night before. My dealer was able to get a Classic from a separate dealer and have it shipped to them in a few days. You should ask. It shouldn't be hard to do and you can still give your dealer the sale.

Werkhorse R18 by Sapka. The article on it and more pictures are here https://pipeburn.com/bmw-r18-sapka/?fbclid=IwAR3x50C93zP1HZMuw5c8u426JLNsV2rD7KIeH3ajVM71IjR8G4xVIdMqU7g .

I agree with the summary but if you can ride them back to back do it. I didn’t ride them back to back because I rode the FE at the end of one BMW demo day and the Classic the next. I thought the Classic road better for me but I also wanted a windscreen and saddlebags. Of course riding is...

So I recently received these bars from Hornig. Maybe I'm being too picky but the attached two pictures were areas on the bars where they hang as part of the powder coating process which I thought the manufacturer should have address before shipping. The bars themselves seem to be of good...

This probably wasn’t what you were looking to see but if you go here: https://shop.maxbmw.com/fiche/DiagramsMain.aspx?vid=61577&rnd=09082020 and select Accessories in the upper right corner you can select what you want with prices.

The bars look good. Thanks for posting them.

Hornig emailed me that my crash bars are shipping out today. They’re showing that they are now available on their website. 18Again, Did you get them installed? Any pictures or thoughts on if you like them?

"they ended up draining the old fluid and replacing it because the service instructions specified an exact amount."- The dealer did it already. Once is enough for me.

I've only had one part out of several OEM accessories from BMW that contained the printed installation instructions. You can go here https://www.bmw-motorrad.com/en/service/manuals/install-manual.html , pick the R-Modelle Heritage link at the top and then your bike model (R18 FE, Classic...

Hi Ken. I'm slowly getting used to them and I think I'm going to keep them but if I change my mind it's good to know I have options. I appreciate the offer!
