    BT Moto ECU Flash Group Buy and Discount!

    I just installed my tune last week. The email for BT Moto is correct but they're using a third party to send/receive the files because BT Moto's email server won't allow large files unless you go through the 3rd party. Go to the BT Moto site and search for the How To videos. There's a couple in...

    What did you do to your R18 today?

    I was incorrect. They're made by BikeMaster: https://bikemaster.com/bikemaster-louver-spear-mirrors-600352.html I bought them from RevZilla last April for $71 shipped.

    What did you do to your R18 today?

    Kuryakyn IIRC. Let check my records and I''ll get you the details. No blurring at all. Rock solid. Once set they stay put. Minimalist size with a very useable rear view plus I think they compliment the art deco/aero style of the bike. I'm very happy with them.

    What did you do to your R18 today?

    I finally got around to installing my Bren Tune. I bought it as part of the group buy and it's been sitting on my workbench since last February. I hadn't even opened the box until a couple of days ago. Honestly, it was a PITA to go through all the uploading/downloading/emailing. Part of the...

    to seat or not to

    I posted this thread a while back with before and after photos between the stock seat and the Day Rider seat. Hope it helps. https://www.r18forums.com/threads/day-rider-vs-stock-seat.813/page-2#post-14999

    If you're on the fence, now is the time to buy one

    The R18 is and will always be a cult motorcycle. You either appreciate it for what it is or you don't. That's neither right or wrong. It's just the way it is. I don't see the product line lasting very long. The sales aren't enough to convince BMW to keep building them. Fine with me because I'm...

    Day Rider vs Stock Seat

    It's been a while since I started this thread. I've put a few hundred miles on the Day Rider seat and IMO it's better than the stock seat but it won't change your life. It is more comfortable and supportive but not drastically so. The styling is a big improvement. The stitching on the Day Rider...

    Cost of first service

    Probably because there's more than one BMW dealer within reasonable distance in SoCal. Out here in flyover country BMW motorcycle dealers are few and far between. Competition is good.

    100% agree. Especially the parts I highlighted.

    R18 Handling

    Yeah, my choice of the word 'unable' was unfortunate. Of course he could have left me if he wanted to but overall I've been pleasantly surprised at how competent the R18 is when ridden at a sporty pace. I prefer riding low and slow but when pushed the R18 will 'get er done' within the limits of...

    Cost of first service

    My dealer told me he just did the 6000 mile service on another R18 and he said it was about $1000 because of the valve adjustment. My intention is to have the dealer do the 6000 mile service and then I'll do the rest myself. I suspect/hope that if any valve adjustments are needed it will be at...

    Tons FE parts. Gotta go

    @Gr8adv & @Tokyo R18 , were the threads on the Arlen Ness mirrors compatible with the BMW perch?

    Front cover

    Congrats on finally getting it finished. Seemed like a real PITA. Looks good though!
