Show Us Your R18

[cabanza]

That's funny. I have done the reverse. I bought a Puig screen that stays on (too hard to take on and off) and Unit Garage bags that I put on for longer rides. The 16' wheels do look good. Have you compared yours to a Pure ie; handling.

Yes I did. I test rode a Bagger, a Classic, and a Pure. I felt the 16" gave me the best feeling. I initially wanted a Bagger. I ended up with a Classic. I really like the extra height from the solo seat. I wish it was even a little taller - may be another inch? What I like is that I can turn the bike into a touring bike very quickly. I also have the Wunderlich seats (rider and passenger) for the bike.

Is the engine cover, forks, wheels and dash in the black color? It looks nice, any side view pictures?

Questions.
Does the Wunderlich rider seat get you a bit further to the front?
Is it noticeably more comfortable for longer rides?

It's about 1 inch taller than stock. I wouldn't say it gets you closer to the tank/ handlebar. If I was going to tour, it would be my first choice.

I like the bike stripped down, for me there is enough going on....

There can't be too many R18s in Mexico... Sorry, your license plate gave it away.
