    Help!! What is the most comfortable after market seat for a TransContinental?

    It's the shape that counts not how soft the seat is.

    Another Oil Leak 2022 R18B

    Many different motorcycle brands and engine types have the stator running in oil going back to Honda in the 1960's perhaps even longer.

    Another Oil Leak 2022 R18B

    The cam chain looks really loose (sagging on the top). Does it use oil pressure to hold tension? Dan

    (SOLD) Roland Sands Design Floorboards (SOLD)

    That's a good deal. I already have a set of the passengers. Would you sell just the front set? Dan

    Exhaust Modified

    I've done plenty of oil analysis tests on many engines for many years running all types of oil. When you see the results Amsoil does not perform better than other high quality oils. Redline, Motul, Maxima, Torco and many others are just as good as Amsoil. Oil types are based on formulations...

    Exhaust Modified

    Probably paid for by Amsoil they are famous for these types of reports over the years. Amsoil is decent oil - so are many other oils. The Amsoil approach to selling products turns me off to ever using their products.

    Help!! What is the most comfortable after market seat for a TransContinental?

    Have you ever ordered anything from this company? Prices are suspiciously low on many items. That is on incredible deal on that seat. $245.00 is a steal.

    Iconic Pictures with R18

    When I saw the logo on the helicopter I looked up the name on google and found your website. My son primarily does aerial applications for the vegetable growers out here in central California. He is setup to spray mostly at night when the wind is calm and nobody is in the fields.

    Help!! What is the most comfortable after market seat for a TransContinental?

    Yes - I forgot about the Corbin. Many like the Corbin seats. I tried one on My Honda ST years ago. I hated it. I live very close to the Corbin factory and had the seat adjusted a couple of times but could not get it to work for me. I then bought a Russell and found happiness. Posteriors are...

    Help!! What is the most comfortable after market seat for a TransContinental?

    I ended up putting a BMW (Mustang) Cross Country seat on my R18B. This seat was not originally made for the Transcontinental or R18B ( R18 standard) but with minor mods it will fit. I have ridden 5-6 hours at one time without even noticing my bottom. These are no longer offered by BMW but...

    wind deflection

    Try to find an old Wixom BMW fairing. There may be replicas out there. If you are thinking about more of just a windshield - National Cycle makes vintage style windscreens - you would have to fabricate brackets for the BMW though. http://www.nationalcycle.com/n2201.html

    How the vibe works

    I was told by a tech at Brentune that the shake at idle is due to BMW intentionally making the ignition timing swing advanced and retarded at idle causing the engine to have a lumpy idle on purpose.

    Help a broken old man! 🦴 Best way to lift my R18 without a spine transplant?

    The Kern Stabi Lift is nice. It is expensive though and does not lift very high. The total cost of these two jacks is only around $130.00. I like having the two separate jacks as I can lift either the front or rear of the bike separately if I want to and also can use the lift on a non-level...

    Help a broken old man! 🦴 Best way to lift my R18 without a spine transplant?

    I took my bike out yesterday and took some pictures of how I lift my R18b using the Vevor bike jacks. One picture shows the m10 X 1.5 Allen bolts inside the upright tubes with the threads sticking up. These bolts are threaded into the front of the engine lift points to keep the tubes centered...

    More than one bike

    Automobiles front wheels have a single axle supported only on one end and carry a lot more weight as well as a huge amount of side loading being on a four wheeled vehicle as compared to a motorcycle that leans. Tapered roller bearings will handle far more side and axial loads than standard ball...

    New Motorcycle Release 15 May

    Ooooo comfy seat! Could this be BMW's answer to the Honda Rune? Seriously though, I do appreciate the styling exercise though. Not a practical bike - much like the Triumph Rocket III.
