Hans from LMC manufactures great products! I ordered a new seat, frame trim pieces and front headlight drop kit.

How much travel are you getting out of the springs?
I need to install my rear fender before the seat can go on. I’m hoping for a little bit of travel to add a second layer of suspension.
The headlight drop looks good. That part is going on my shopping list.

After the first 100 miles I knew I needed to find a solution to the jolting ride of the limited rear suspension travel. I saw Hans seat design and immediately placed my order. I wasn’t very well versed in the bike or the fact I needed to swap out the rear fender and the aluminum seat pan/fender mount. I was torn between the hardline bobber or the full coverage rear fender that Hans sells. In the end I went with the bobber.
The tracking number says my fender and other parts are in the states do they should arrive soon.
Now I just need to finish the overhaul job on my Roadmaster and get it off of the lift.

Anxiously awaiting for your items to arrive!
Tracking info says the pkg arrived in Chicago today. So it will arrive any day now.
I can't wait to see it. Even though I have already bought a Corbin seat ( not inexpensive) I want to have the LMC set up. They have some really nice looking accessories!

Best looking oil cooler out there.
It's on my list
My shipment from Hans arrived today. To my relief everything is intact and appears at first glance to be correct. I have to say that while it hurts the pocketbook to place these orders with LMC, the parts themselves are jewel-like and far exceed anything I’ve ever purchased for any of my other bikes.
I’ll post pictures when I finish up my Roadmaster maintenance project and get to the R18.
It is amazing how these freight companies can turn a square box into a rounded ball!
But fortunately Hans wrapped the fender in a thick blanket and then surrounded it with bubble wrap.

The fit of the LMC seat on the R18 is super clean. It's pretty comfortable given the R18 platform; I'm extremely overly impressed with the LMC Quality...
I purchased the following:
Bobber Fender
License Plate Bracket
Seat w/ Seat Pan
Oil Cooler
I'd like to see Hans could up with a US version lightning kit from KELLERMAN; or at least, make it optional. I had to use only about 1/3 of the capabilities of the Tail Lights, as the USA only requires RED for Running Lights/Brake and Directionals.
I used the KELLERMANN load balancer, just to clear the error that I was getting from the Rear Tail Lights showing an OPEN circuit.
I didn't use the RED 12 V input, or the YELLOW Licence Plate wire (See the attached diagram); only the BLACK Ground wire was combined with the existing wire harness.
I connected the License Plate light into the existing wiring harness (PIN-4 Blue-Brown Wire), just behind the connector; where I made the electrical connection onto the BLUE-BROWN wire (PIN-4) if looking at the OEM connector.
