Just picked up my R18 what is the best route to take in doing a bobber conversion. Many different companies just looking for the best solution from people that have done it.
 
My bike came with the BMW Bobber kit fitted. I was never comfortable on the factory Bobber seat. It felt like I was sitting really high in the air. I thn changed the seat to a lower seat. Happy with it now.
first pic is when I bought it. Second pic is with the lower seat.

BMW Beachbars
BMW Mini LED Directionals (Kellerman)
RSD Levers
RSD Speedometer Case
RSD Bar Ends
RSD Ignition Covers
RSD Engine Cover
LMC Rear Fender
LMC License Plate Bracket
LMC Seat Pan
LMC Oil Cooler
Biltwell Mirrors

Took the risk of an Ali Express kit.
So far so good, no complaints at all

All LMC parts finally arrived Monday, April 21, 2025; I can absolutely say that all pieces are super high quality.

Example: the LMC seat pan lined up perfectly within the R18 frame; mounting holes, lined up perfectly...

I sorted out the tail light wiring to the US standard.
