    Windshield / Windscreen options?

    Real men don't need windshields, especially if the bike didn't come with one. Look at all the hardcore riders going for thousand of miles without a windshield. Tough as nails, not a bunch of wusses. The r18 base model, like the one I have, I can ride all day at freeway speeds with no buffeting...

    Pick a seat…any seat

    Anybody done this fender yet?

    It is not the fender by itself but in the context of the particular bike we're talking about. And we are discussing the R18 here, not just 'any motorcycle'. You mount that grotesque fender on the R18 and you lose about 30% of the appeal of the bike. BMW, in both cars and motorcycles, employ...

    Anybody done this fender yet?

    Yeah, I haven't seen anything that comes even close to it. I am so taken by the whole experience that I don't know how I'm going to be able to sleep tonight, waiting for the morning so I can order one for my 2021 FE! You have bad taste if you find it to be "very nice looking", Seriously. And I...

    Where can I locate a switch on wire fore accessories?

    Isn't it funny how even after two years since these bikes hit the market we don't have a definite answer on where to tap for power? Almost every single bike that I've owned through the years came with a switched circuit tucked under the seat or toward the back of the bike. I don't know why this...

    Babe’s with R18

    What does the title mean? I have an impossible time making sense of it all, especially when written by a grown man. Are you sure is "Babe's With R18" and not "Babes With R18"? I had an easier time following the 1984 World Chess Championship between Kasparov and Karpov than understanding these...

    Mobil 1 15w/50 Full Synthetic Oil?

    I replied basically making the Motul V300 15W50 T4 king of the jungle, and not saying a half a word about the Mobil 1 the original post was all about. I was not on point...

    Mobil 1 15w/50 Full Synthetic Oil?

    I will refrain from posting on this thread since I have nothing to say about the Mobil 1 oil. Good luck.

    Mobil 1 15w/50 Full Synthetic Oil?

    Motul 300V 15W50 T 4L jug $63.00 on Amazon End of the story. Better than anything I ever tried, and believe me, I tried a few manufacturers! Give it a shot, you'll love it.

    mpg booster

    You said two miles per gallon increase? Hooray, hooray! Now I know the secret of going halfway around the world on one tank of gas.

    Gas Mileage

    I still can't believe some of the gas mileage some of you get. It seems unreal to me. I am 'working' hard towards 40mpg and when I reach that it will feel pretty much like putting a man on the moon. My bike runs strong and it's very responsive. No hesitations whatsoever. But in spite of that I...

    Bags for R18FE

    No, you didn't say a word, but if one just looked at the picture I'm sure would think that those are bags used to cover the saddlebags for waterproofing purposes. Or maybe I have seen that picture from a different angle.

    Bags for R18FE

    Are you sure those covers are to be used on the outside of the bags? I thought they were dry bags to waterproof the inside of the bags.

    WTB Wunderlich

    Let's pretend for a minute that I have one and I am willing to sell it. What's the price you'd be willing to pay and think that you scored?

    Is limited lean angle posing a safety risk?

    Who needs a goddamn canopy when the bikes are waterproof with the exception of the ones made of cardboard and toilet paper.

    Is limited lean angle posing a safety risk?

    Unbelievably easy, sprinkled with lots of fun for everyone. Even for the bystanders.

    Is limited lean angle posing a safety risk?

    I only park my bike in the backyard so it can be under the sun during the day and under the stars at night. About a month ago I purchased a small Zeppelin from ZeppelinsForeverybody.com that can lift up to 1,200lbs 15 feet in the air and hold it there for two weeks at the time. I have to check...

    Bags for R18FE

    I bought them and the mounts a week after buying the bike and I'm happy with them. You're not gonna be able to carry the house with you, but it's okay. They look like they belong. Good quality and a three year warranty from the manufacturer.
