Happy Holidays, everyone! The wife just got me the Garmin Zumo XT2 for Christmas. Does anyone use one of these on their R18 and have a suggestion that will mount the GPS in the center of the handlebars, between the tank and the speedometer cluster? I'd be open to other mounting ideas as well...

You rarely think about the times where the ABS can hurt you, but that's a concrete example. Glad you didn't get hurt and that your bike escaped damage.

For anyone else looking for these bars, Motea is blowing out the Craftride bars for $140, shipped to Los Angeles. If you are only planning on keeping these on your bike temporarily (like me), it's hard to beat that price. (y)

Wowzers! How'd you end up in that hole?

That's beautiful in the blue! And congrats on such an awesome collection of bikes! I'm envious your collection,....but not so envious of your insurance bills! ;)

Toasted transmission at 3800 miles......certainly not wanted to hear after buying an R18 just three weeks ago. :confused:

Hi all, There have been some crash bar threads started, but the ones I could find were several years old. In 2025 there are so many crash bar choices for my R18 Classic that I am overwhelmed. I don't want to buy cheap, junk parts. But I also don't want to buy the OEM bars if there are better...
