Yessiree! Im coming off K1200 and K1600. Got used to having great wind protection. Went after the biggest screen i could find. Clearview 21" with curve lip and + 3 inch width. Add fork deflectors and it does pretty darn good!
Final form for now....Ladies and gentlemen, the R18 Classic Continental 🤣🤣
Mods:
Clearview 21" recurve windshield (painted lower half)
Transcontinental seat (see other thread)
Wunderlich Bar Risers
Crash bars
DK Designs front fender (painted gloss black, adding two tone scheme this weekend with...
I went for a ride of about 4 hours last weekend to try it out. I really liked it compared to the standard Classic seat. I was always sliding backwards and the pillon groove pushed into lower my back. The TC seat moved me a little forward and the lumbar support is nice in my case. I'm about 6'2...
A very slight mod. The rear metal strip was a bit displaced (longer) than RClassic, so i had to make another attachment point. I used my rear rack. You could just relocate or shorten the TC seat strip alternatively.
I like the distinct looks as well, but i kinda want s Fairing. I should have purchased a R18B or TC from the get go. I like a bit more wind protection than my classic is providing. I currently have Clearview windshield and fork deflectors and those have helped tremendously. Coming from K1600 and...
Anybody bought one of these yet? I've been corresponding with them by email. They are very responsive to all the questions I've asked so far. Really tempted to give it a go! What do you guys think...
Well, i had to try it. No weekenders were for sale, but @Wolle had a TC seat for sale at a good price, so what the heck! Thought id give it a shot. Well guess what, with very very slight mod, the sucker fits! I like it. Feels about like the Weekender i used to have.
I can't say i disagree. Sometimes the guys in my group like to pound out the miles. I hate being the one to stop first all the time. I ride my K1200GT on longer trips to get the extra mileage. Might be a fun project!
Resurrecting this thread! After a few key modifications (seats, larger windscreen, fork deflectors, auto Android screen and bar risers). I feel all my bike needs is a larger fuel tank. Found two on eBay for around 800 bucks! Id love to do this mod! Anyone else done it or willing to team up and...
I feel like it's finally a worthy successor to the K1200/K1300 GT. I'm sure you will love it! A billion technology features....but I digress.
Somebody buy these seats!
Indeed, I've done a couple of all day rides and it was definitely a upgrade from the stock seat! I've simply decided that my K1200GT is a better touring bike. I want to upgrade to the new R1300RT so the R18 has to go.
Mustang Weekender set with Backrest and Pillion seat as well. Very little use. Asking $400.00 including shipping! 😯. Will ship from Sugarland,TX to U.S. locations.
Looking for any feedback or experience with the Dkdesign fairing. Really curious about performance vs the factory R18 Classic windscreen. I currently have the Clearview large installed, but actually noticed more benefit from installing fork deflectors. Maybe I can go to more stylish DK fairing...
Did your Ohlins show up yet? I just got my Classic a couple of weeks ago and ready for shock upgrade next. Would really like to see a comparison with the Wilbers. Thx
