    R18 Jekill & Hyde Install and Thoughts

    Excellent idea, it's on my list now. Thanks! (y) I saw a mention here some time back and forgot all about it. The black inside looks great too and I think it makes sense. https://www.r18forums.com/threads/exhaust-mod-tip-pun-intended.1014/post-15496

    R18 BROKEN FORK KEY FOB/FORK KEY REPLACE R18 WHERE AND $$

    The key fob replacement bit (key blade) must be ordered at a dealer to verify purchaser. The key bit will be verified for fitment with the bike, the cost was under 30 bucks, and about a 10th the cost of a new fob. I ordered one today at MAXBMW, I expect it will be shipped to them within a few...

    R18 BROKEN FORK KEY FOB/FORK KEY REPLACE R18 WHERE AND $$

    Yup, I think so, looks like just the blade of the key.. when added to cart it prompts for valid VIN number. They don't indicate cutting the key but I believe they could since they have the VIN, almost worth ordering one to find out.

    I repaired a busted key fob for my vw using JBWeld, it's held up for over 10 years.. and still going strong. The key had broken right off, but there was a short tab that fit into a short notch.. I dovetailed the tab a little and glued it up... there wasn't much purchase but it's held up...

    Yup, they're great! I've been very pleased with the Wunderlich lowered footpegs. https://www.r18forums.com/threads/what-did-you-do-to-your-r18c-today.794/post-12135 But I also put Footpegs on my TC, much sportier, I have since ditched the heel shifter...

    The one that got away…

    1975 Honda TL 250 four stroke trials bike, it was a bit heavy for trials but the tractability was awesome, bought used in 1977 for 700.00, ended up trading it for a road racing bicycle in 1979. What a fun bike to crawl around on. And in 1993 I traded a racing mountain bike for a 1976 R90/6, it...

    Paint Scrape Damage (Model B / TC Large Scratch Noticed on Both Sides of the Rear Swing Arm) - Anyone Else ..?

    The B/TC bag protection bars appear to have been removed from the Wunderlich website. This would seem to indicate they have fully embraced the issue and I'd expect further information about the solution, or future of the product won't be long in coming now.

    Paint Scrape Damage (Model B / TC Large Scratch Noticed on Both Sides of the Rear Swing Arm) - Anyone Else ..?

    Appreciate the update, Scott! Upon further examination I arrived at the conclusion I must also remove them to rectify the problem and return suspension to optimum travel. I'll wait to contact Wunderlich until you have a chance to see how they would like to manage the situation. It seems the...

    Paint Scrape Damage (Model B / TC Large Scratch Noticed on Both Sides of the Rear Swing Arm) - Anyone Else ..?

    I noticed the start of the same dings after a solo 500~ mile ride on the TC yesterday. This was the first long ride with some light luggage after installing the Case Guards. There were definitely no marks when I started out yesterday and was riding all day. The bike has almost 9,000...
