And a very heart felt "Schwäbischen Salut" to you my friend ;)

... and I do apologize for the delayed response ... I was busy trying to figure out how many bugs I can splat with my windshield ... a concept that might be foreign to you.


Edit: PS: ... and enjoying the f..k out of the sound and performance of my 'Freedom' slip ons

I would never think about how many bugs I could splat on my windshield because I don’t have one nor am I a functional idiot. You’re such a good girl…P.S. mine don’t slip on. They go all the way back from the head and they weigh 4 lbs 👌

I never claimed that you are 'functional' ...

Well documented that the quality of steel and chrome etc on these are junk. Much information can be found online. I work for BMW Motorrad and our group also has two very large Harley dealerships. These are considered the poor man’s exhaust for a reason and add no value to a bike. You only bought it because it was cheap. Freedom exhaust is a true joke to any insider anywhere. Ignorance is bliss though so enjoy

I don't want to get in this argument, but just a comment. I have the original fishtails on my 2021 R18 FE. I wanted to get the exhaust slip ons I see on the 2022's and 2023's. The reason some people go aftermarket is the price of the OEM parts. BMW wants $1600 per side for those OEM exhausts., 3200 total. I really want them, but that seems over the top to me.
 
Aren’t the V and Hines about 900 chrome or black? That’s where I started and I loved the sound and look etc.

would you be interested in the original OEM exhausts of the R18 B 2022?

Is the BugBike headers the same geometry as the oem headers? I am assuming it is because you slipped on Freedom exhaust on it….

Thanks!

Whatever you do, do not buy the bug bike pipes. They fit horribly and they will not fix or refund you. Terrible customer service. Out $800+ with nothing but an extremely frustrating experience.
 
Freedom 4.5 slip ons for 1800B . Was quoted 1750 dollars today . Called back 20 minutes later and told them I had a 2022 Harley David street glide same 4.5 mufflers 980 dollars. Why are the 18B so much more expensive? They couldn’t answer that .
 
If anyone’s interested I have a set of 4.5 freedoms for sale off my bike (R18). PM me if you’re interested. 🤙🏼IMG_9561.jpeg

If these Freedom Performance pipes fit the Classic, would they fit the entire R18 family? Are the header pipes the same across all models?

No the will not must order for your bike. I think you get a better quality and better sound if you get Sharkroads instead of Freedom. Freedom have problems with there chrome platting.
