I have just purchased a 2023 BMW R18 Classic with soft bags. I would like to purchase and install a sissy bar for the pillion seat. Can anyone offer advise on where to purchase a suitable sissy bar and how to fit it with the side soft bags.
Many thanks
 
I bought this Craftride one from Motea. Pretty cheap, and dented on arrival, but it’s quick to remove and fits with the bags.

I purchased this one from Amazon and it fits perfect. It's not as nice as the BMW offering but it's a lot less money.


If you have bags then you will also need to order these longer bolt kit.


Hope this helps

Hi. Could you please give the parts numbers. I have the same bike and the same saddlebags, and want to buy the detachable passenger backrest. Thanks in advance
 
I have this exact same back rest....
I do want to comment on it. The material could be better. Its not leather.. Also from a passenger stand point I feel like its leaned back too much. Im going to be modifying mine to make it slightly bigger to have side supports and more material to "straighten the angle" with new real leather to match the seat.

A017116 is the backrest alone and A510094 is the backrest with the adapter kit. I ended up using only the bolts from the adapter kit, so I would probably skip that and buy some at the hardware store instead.
