    Hello All; I have one almost new Wheel Dock Model 3L for sale. It was purchased new for the 2022 R18 Transcontinental which I no longer have. It will fit wheels 4 3/4" or narrower (tire width). I also have the fasteners which were supplied with the unit so it could be bolted to plywood or...

    BMW Connected - Upgrade Problems

    I recently did the upgrade to the BMW Connected app on my iPhone. The upgrade was easy and the reinstall of maps was straight forward. While all this is great, now I cannot get the app to connect with the bike! The problem seems to be that the special WIFI never shows up on my phone. The app...

    Did the DNA upgrade

    Did the upgrade of my air filter to DNA last week and finally got to take the bike out yesterday. For anyone on the fence about this upgrade, I would do it. There is a noticeable difference in the throttle responsiveness and the bike seems a bit stronger as well, pulled better. I did this on...

    DNA Filter Question

    Greetings from sunny and hot Florida; I have a question on the DNA filter application. Today my TC is basically stock with Brentune stage 1, and stock air filter. I want to install the DNA filter. Question is, do I need to buy just their S2 Combo Kit or do I also need to buy their Stage 1...

    Converted Transcontinental Brake Pedal

    Yesterday, I swapped the brake pedal on my TC for the BMW version which comes on I guess the Standard model; the one with foot pegs. I bought that pedal from the dealer and tackled the project yesterday. The Standard pedal is slightly different than the TC pedal and required a spacer/washer to...

    Windshields

    I'm riding a 2022 Transcontinental and am looking for a shorter windshield. I am 5'8" and I like to look over the windshield as opposed to through it. To this end, I recently purchased one from Jurock, their 18" model, which appears to be the shortest one they make, which is still a bit too...

    Shout Out to Wheel Dock!!

    I want to give a shout out to Wheel Dock; the product and the folks out there in Oklahoma. Based upon input from y'all I purchased this device. I am amazed just how well it docks and secures my 950+# Transcontinental. I was worried about safety during docking but especially un-docking. Piece...

    Cover for Transcontinental

    Hello all; I need to find a cover for my 22 Transcontinental. Where it will be stored between outings is a pretty dusty place. I see a bunch of "universal" covers out there (i.e. carcoversfactory.com) but am looking for some recommendations if possible. I am also debating as to indoor or...

    Oil Temp Gauge

    Does anyone make an oil temperature gauge for the R18? Seems to me that knowing oil temp, particularly here in Florida is important. IMHO having that as opposed to the "power meter" on the dash of the TC would make better sense.

    Another Navigation Question

    Pulling my hair out here, or what is left of it. I cannot get my iPhone to consistently recognize and then link to the wifi which the bike puts out to facilitate the map, etc. to the screen. It is always hit or miss, mostly miss, very frustrating. Here is what I have been doing.. 1 - turn on...

    OBD2 Connector?

    Where has BMW hidden the OBD2 connector on the R18's, specifically the TC? Under the right side cover I see something which could be it, a connector not connected to anything. I'm trying to connect the Brentune hand held.. Back in my BMW car days, I needed an "adapter" to connect my analyzer...

    Foot Pegs on R18TC?

    Has anyone swapped the floor boards on their R18TC for pegs? Just seems to me that having pegs (like my old K16) would make shifter and brake access easier..... Just a thought.

    Brentune Results?

    Hello All; New here. I just picked up a slightly used 2022 R18TC. Stock throttle response is pretty weak. On my old ride, which was a 2018 K1600B, I did the Brentune Stage1 upgrade..the one where you send your ECM off to them for re-flashing.. The results were very good. I see that...
