    R18 B 7 Jurock Windscreen

    I also have the 7jurock 20” screen. Actually, they used my TC along with my feedback to make improvements to their final design. I’m almost 6’2” tall and on the BMW Option 719 seat, and the windshield is perfect for me.

    R18 Transcontinental Lower Deflectors

    Thanks for that. I just wanted to remove them for easier cleaning of the bike, as I rode 2 hours in rain and mud. Needless to say I spent most of the day trying to clean it all up. But that exploded view looks like more trouble than it’s worth.

    R18 Transcontinental Lower Deflectors

    Does anyone know how the TC’s lower deflectors just above the cylinder heads can be removed?

    Anyone tried a Harbor Freight Bike Dolly for R 18 B?

    If I was mechanically inclined enough I would!

    Hello - R18 Transcontinental - Slightly Nervous

    My wife thinks a GW is for old people, and I just turned 64, but I considered it. LOL I also don’t care for the forward controls of other cruisers, so the TC felt better to me. I honestly never thought I’d own a “cruiser”, but something about the TC just drew me to it. This bike is great as a...

    Hello - R18 Transcontinental - Slightly Nervous

    I also have the TC. My previous bike was a BMW K1600 Grand America, and my wife says the TC is more comfortable. There is a bit of vibration, but my wife doesn’t have an issue with it. See if you can take another test ride with her on the back.

    Exhaust for R18 B or Transcontinental

    I know that BMW was supposed to be coming out with some exhaust options, but can’t say when that’s going to happen. Have you looked into Freedom Performance Exhausts? https://freedomperformexhaust.com/collections/bmw/products/bmw-r18-classic-4-freedom-slipons-only

    Congrats! Let us know what you think after you’ve put some miles on it, and how it compares to your previous HDs.

    Suggestions for additions / Changes to the Forums?

    I still think a sub-forum specific to the B and TC models would be good, particularly for the TFT display and other topics specific to these bikes.

    MadStad looking for a bike in Central Florida (windshield prototype)

    7Jurock has already developed windshields for the R18. I previously had one on my K1600 Grand America and liked it a lot. I plan on getting one for my TC. https://www.7jurock.com/collections/bmw-r-18

    Pricing: BMW v. Harley

    See if you can test ride both - that’ll give you an indication that the Harley is worth the price. Some folks won’t buy anything but HD, so there’s that. And then there’s the forward controls that most cruisers have, and some won’t have anything else. But those who aren’t invested in the HD or...

    R18 - Aftermarket ECU options

    I received an email with the questions. You then reply back with the questions answered, and then just take it from there.

    R18 Front Wheel Stand?

    I tested it out and my jack works perfectly in conjunction with the Hornig rear stand. I can have both wheels off the ground at the same time.

    Bren Tuners: Let us hear what you think!

    I already gave the running characteristics in another thread, but overall a smoother ride with the mid-RPM dip removed, low idle stalling fixed and snappier throttle response. Regarding installing the map, definitely print out the instructions. Page 2 has most of the info you’ll need once you...

    That’s correct. The new 012.008.40 TFT software update remains.
