Just an update to the FPE saga. It has now been 23 days since they were "reviewing it" with no response. I stopped responding because I gave them $1,630 for a product that doesn't fit. Buyer beware, if they send you the wrong parts, good luck.

So, after having (gritted and gnashed teeth) installed FPE exhaust, I discovered a problem... The on/off of the exhaust flaps is crazy. I had previously disabled the flaps mechanically (IE, removed the metal cables the servos pull), but they are a gigantic pain in the ass on the R18 compared to...

So, finally got the weather/time to start the process of installing the FP slip-ons in the R18B. Everything was going relatively smoothly until it came to lining the stock heat shields back up and bolting them down. Basically, the angle of the provided mid-pipe doesn't seem to have a position in...

Looking to upgrade from my little 2-person tent for next Spring. This is the first time I’m on a bike that 1) isn’t potentially going off road, 2) is large enough to “glamp” with. I’ve seen several prominent YouTube folks using this Lone Rider MotoTent. I definitely like the idea of something...

I haven't seen these previously. They appear to be new. Not a fan of the BMW offering, since it requires engine bars and a certain shape. These appear to blend in a bit better with the engine lines as well. If they make a black version, I might actually put them on the wishlist ($450 is...

EDIT: It seems like this is something folks like, so changing a bit to reflect something sort of official. This thread is intended to be a hub for both R18 specific deals for the holiday season, as well as reasonably related gear, equipment, tools, etc. Please include a link to any deals you...

So, I called a couple of local tint shops in the area to see if they could tint my R18B factory windscreen. They declined. I'm curious how folks usually do this, or if I should keep checking around. It's well below my sight line, but it's a pain to dry well enough to not end up with a bunch of...

So, I saw someone on one of the larger R18 groups on Facebook (can't find it at the moment or i'd DM him) that had added some 120mm fans between the cooler and shroud of the bike. Curious if anyone can find the post or if anyone has done something like this? I know auxiliary fans are fairly...

Went to the dealer for service today, and they had a customer bike in the shop with the freedom 4.5" two step slip ons. Talking to one of the techs and he asked if I wanted to hear it. He said no other modifications (IE, still has operational servos, cats, stock headers. Not sure on a possible...

Hey folks, Is anyone aware of anyone selling passenger lowering pegs or something that lowers the stock pegs? Wife has long legs and her only complaint from 8 hours on the pillion was that she wished her legs weren't quite so bent. Cheers!

Hey all, so coming from an R9T, disabling the exhaust servo flapper was a common mod to give the stock exhaust some more grunt. I randomly saw a bit of discussion on the same thing for the R18, but I was unable to find much in the way of specifics. It is my understanding that the same servo...

So, while on the new R18B's maiden voyage, I noticed that my right mirror wouldn't budge. Came home, looked at it, googled it "normal rotating mirror, just give it some elbow grease", and finally tried it one last time. The only thing budging is the metal that the glass attaches to.... Is it...

Hey all, After years with a GS that ended in pieces (me and the bike), a couple of years hiatus, then a year on an R9T (which was amazing) I discovered my journey back to motorcycling wasn't going to be as casual as I thought. Needed something with longer legs and a seat the wife was willing to...
