    I'm back (ish) - swap my '23 H-D Street Bob UK only

    Absolutely no interest in my street bob at all in 2 months... Looks like I'll be keeping it 🤕

    Aftermarket Brake Light?

    Unsure TBH, mine did a B6 brake light but I didn't mess with the spots/horn on the TC and left them factory. I don't see any reason that if routed via the ezcan that they would not work. Ancillary Denali lights definitely would.

    Aftermarket Brake Light?

    They don't make one specifically for the R18, but the K1600 one appears to do all functions.

    I'm back (ish) - swap my '23 H-D Street Bob UK only

    It's a good thought bud and I am very close to the UK's largest dealer but they are rammed. I've already got the price for the B...23 reg under warranty, 3.5k miles, £10300. Worried he'll sell to the dealer for the £9.5k that he's been offered, but the Mrs is adamant... The HD has to go first.

    I'm back (ish) - swap my '23 H-D Street Bob UK only

    Mate, I'm almost 4 decades in of legal road riding and the R18TC has been my favorite bike yet...I've ridden/owned a LOT of bikes including cop bikes. The R18 just works for me. Fingers crossed I'll stay around, but if not the Street Bob is a giggle.

    Aftermarket Brake Light?

    Hex EzCan for K1600 works the same way, Denali kit is a bit cheaper and just as good.

    I'm back (ish) - swap my '23 H-D Street Bob UK only

    Yes, okay I cocked up. Hi again to the old and bold and hi for the first time to those that joined in the last 12 months. I sold my TC last year, put a Chinese bike on order, bottled it and got a Triumph Tiger 900 - fantastic bike, but I missed a cruiser. Tried for months to buy a certain R18B...

    The TC has now gone.

    Sorry to report that I have now sold the TC. I loved the bike and would have another in a heart beat if my circumstances justified it. :cry: I'll hang around for a while to sell a sissy bar and rack that I have (UK sale) and then I'll leave as I won't have anything more to contribute. I am...

    K1600B

    It's an old chassis, that is why it won't be crammed with the latest tech, it's likely due an upgrade. TBH I find the active cruise on the TC a nuisance if I am in a hurry. I prefer dumb cruise. Each to their own. Coming from an RT most recently, the weight issue makes me giggle a bit...most RT...

    Sold Now sold UK 2021 Transcontinental

    Cheers, the bike is still being used and I am in there 2 or 3 times a day. The garage is made of cast concrete with no foodstuffs inside, the houses and sheds 100 yds away are a far more appealing prospect for Ratus Ratus.

    Sold Now sold UK 2021 Transcontinental

    This is a UK sale. I am based near Brighton on the south coast. I got this bike used in April 2024 for riding with my MC. Following some politics, I have left the MC and now have no need for a large cruiser (I'll either use the wife's 750 for commutting or get a Transalp for myself). I LOVE the...

    Advice on removing light swirls on paintwork

    G10 finishing compound is used by many detailers. You will need to reseal with the polish/sealant of your choice afterwards.

    Mobil 1 V-Twin 20W-50 Oil

    20w is still within the range of 15w50. Generally is is okay to go thicker (as in 20w) but not okay to go thinner.

    I like the B look much more. Out of choice I would prefer it all black with dark chrome like the Roctane.

    Newbie looking for advice

    It took me around an hour by myself figuring it out with no help. Now it would take 30 mins, 20 with help. This IS my TC after (with sissy bar and rack) and before. You get more accessories as standard with the TC

    Get the TC and run it as a B?

    Hello

    Welcome bud, I'm at the other end of the country! I had some of the foam chopped out of my seat and replaced with better stuff. The bloke was shaping it with an electric carving knife! It is much better now, better quality (denser) foam, slightly thicker in total with an upkick at the tank to...

    In the circs you describe, it would seem like an R18 would be a great fit. Please do not take this as any slight against your skills as I don't know what they are, but if you are not 100% confident with the handling, do some training or at least watch some trainng videos. Youtube is rammed...

    Newbie looking for advice

    I probably use my TC (I have removed the top case to gain MORE storage ability), unlike most others in that most days I commute 18 miles each way to work on a mix of slow roads, fast(er) roads and a filtering through a couple of miles of traffic. There is no way around it, the R18 is an unwieldy...
