Install, usage, friend of friend. They are $649 and don't look like most on the market for our bikes. They have more of that Harley look

So far I have seen 2 different styles for the R18 and learned that the DK style, with the top bracket as in the pic below does not fit the R18B, gets in the way of the steering damper, so you need to ensure you get the one that mounts like the stock TC in second pic.

I’m digging the ridestyler bars. Solid build, single piece. Decent price, but shipping from Poland isn’t cheap.

Yes!!! I love those
The rubber pads let you swing your heels onto the bars like highway pegs. Works fine, but haven’t done it for a prolonged time yet.

Who makes the guards for the saddlebags

Do they ship to US?
They do! Costs quite a penny, but came out cheaper than the alternatives all-in. I can’t sort out how some of the parts makers want more than $500 for a small luggage rack. Wild!

Wild and crazy...
I'm learning the hard way that being A BMW owner is not for the faint of wallet
Yeah, I've stumbled over some second-hand stuff, some black friday sales, and some hidden gems for decent deals. I think I'm gonna live with this thing mostly stock after my couple cosmetic things, air filter, and brentune are done. Money flyin all over

I feel ya on that. Trying to mange family and take advantage of the sales this time of year is proving a struggle...but I'll work it out
