    Vance & Hines R18 mufflers for sale ** SOLD **

    For sale is one pair of Vance and Himes mufflers for the R18. I bought these after my bike was hit because I couldn't stomach the $2,700 for replacement fishtails. Since then I found a set of used fishtails and decided I like the look of them better. Used for 500 miles and in perfect shape...

    Comfort solo seat and passenger pillion seat for sale

    I put one of the Roland Sands fastback seats on my R18 and I have the solo comfort (tall) seat and passenger pillion (rear seat) for sale. Both saw less than 3,000 miles of use, the passenger seat was only used a few times. Both are in great shape, no tears, holes or serious scratches. The...

    Anyone install the 6.5" "Apehanger" handlebars?

    Not sure how a 6" rise is considered apes, but I'll blame it on German language failed translation. But regardless, looking at these bars and they look to have more rise, less pullback and less width than the stock bars. From what I can tell from measurements they will suit me better and look...

    Any using the Unit titanium mufflers? (silencers for UK foks)

    So in another thread I described how my bike was hit by a van while it was parked and I finally got it sorted out. Now I am balking at the cost of replacing the stock fishtail muffler, $1,650 seems like a crazy amount for a single muffler. I really like the look of the fishtails, but am not...

    R18 hit while parked

    Whelp, attended a BBQ festival over the weekend and my bike was hit by a van while it was parked. Hit on the left side and knocked over onto the right. The factory engine guard did a good job overall, but still damaged the muffler, head pipe and valve cover on the side of the nap. I'm worried...

    Anyone installed handlebars meant for another bike?

    So the R18 bars are 1" where they clamp to the risers and narrow down to 7/8" at the grips. I know a couple other bikes that use bars set up that way, like the Indian Scout and the Harley Nightster. Has anyone used a handlebar other than ones from BMW or Wunderlich? There are some additional...

    Anyone installed the Corbin fairing?

    After a four hour trip to visit my daughter where wind gusts were 30 mph and traffic moves at 80 mph I am considering adding some wind protection to my R18. I've got the basic model and my height leaves me with a lot of wind blast to my head, more than I remember on other bikes I've had. I've...

    New oil cooler cover from Wunderlich

    Just saw this today- a better looking cover from Wunderlich. To me, it's the one bit of the bike that looks cheap, nice to have a second option for dressing it up. https://www.rideapart.com/news/564128/wunderlich-accessories-bmw-r18/

    Question about the different seats

    So my bike came with the "Tall Comfort" seat. According to what I have read, that increases the seat height to 28" from 27.2", so it goes to figure it has an extra .8" of padding. I have read the BMW Custom Solo Seat drops that even lower than stock, to 26.8". How does the Tall Comfort seat...

    Picked up mine today

    Well, after looking at cruisers for 8 months I finally picked one. My local dealer had a price that I just couldn't pass up so I now have a shiny R18 in the garage now! I won't get a chance to ride it much until the weekend, but so far I like it. The handling is deliberate, the suspension...
