    Dropped your R18 yet?

    Bite your tongue! (And find a lonely parking lot and practice slow speed maneuvers by the book - head & eyes, steady throttle, friction zone, drag rear brake) You will quickly acclimate and learn to love the slow speed characteristics of this bike. FWIW u-turns and very-slow speed maneuvers are...

    Mustang Seats - Weekender

    MONTHS ago I got on Revzilla's email list to let me know when the BMW branded weekender seat would be in stock. I just now got the email!

    Exhaust Bluing/Discoloration

    All exhaust pipe discoloration is caused by excessive heat. There are several sources and causes (these days usually lean mixtures, but still sometimes rich mixtures continuing a heavy burn inside the pipe, chrome typically turns blue, stainless typically turns golden). Some discoloration is...

    Good roads you mentioned. Welcome aboard! There’s a wealth of info available on this forum. Yes accessories (especially OEM) are slim to none but there are a lot of things available from other sources. Keep looking, share what you find, and ride safe!

    Different Canbus?

    Thank you! (I never intended to somehow set-off Gr8adv but I certainly managed to! "conspiracy folks"? "bait and swithch"? Hell I'm just a hot rodder trying to find a shop service manual!!) The "entitled American" way would be to first try to use the signals, lights, and harness that you're...

    Different Canbus?

    "I have no idea about you or where you reside. But you have the entitled American thing down pat." And with that comment you have the arrogant elitist BS down pat as well. I AM ENTITLED ONLY because in consideration of their promises, I paid them and they took my payment. I would GLADLY return...

    Different Canbus?

    Many of us were on the receiving end of BMW promises last year. They’ve managed to continue production during all of the “shortages “ and even introduce new models but somehow can’t manage to produce promised parts and accessories? Your analogy is ridiculous. Do your homework.

    Different Canbus?

    I’m a little annoyed with the motherland right now anyway…with the lack of promised goods and service information support…she’s been a real bitch!! She can can her bus for all I care at the moment! 🤣🤣

    R18 Transcontinental or K1600 Grand America?

    Never let up. Keep the hammer down!

    Different Canbus?

    I wonder how the fender or the seat interface with the can-bus system? LOL Of course the lighting & signal components do but figuring out that part of the problem should be relatively easy. There have been those types of electrical issues already addressed on this forum. I personally...

    R18 Support "Dock"

    For what it’s worth I have two Wheeldock chocks and the spacer kit. Goal was having a Wheeldock I could use on a wide variety of bikes. A slight squeak going in occasionally occurs but more importantly as long as you can get the bike in and out of the chock without the chock sliding it is good...

    Security - What do you do to lock up your R18

    Good grief! This makes twice now I’ve felt like I’ve had to defend Black Dog (and doing so feels indefensible LOL) but he wasn’t slamming anybody’s family or their military service or trying to make someone think of a bad place. He was simply making a joke that “offended” somebody…apparently you...

    Hattech Legend Cone 25

    After looking over the various exhaust parts available from Hattech, the silencers I liked best were the Legend Cone 25. I contacted the owner aka "Hatt" who custom made a set of modified Legend Cone 25 silencers for me, suitable for exhibition use only. The fit and finish is excellent...

    Hattech Exhaust

    A good "rule of thumb" answer to this age old question is if you're not messing with intake air or fuel or the cats, a simple muffler swap rarely effects the bike's running condition negatively to where it now requires a "tune" (getting the mix back just right). Note this question is usually...
