Hello from Scotland, UK,


Finally got my r18 classic in manhattan metallic matt paint.

Adjusted the preload and rides much better. 688miles done in a week. Love this bike so far. Waiting for first service already.

I have just added the day rider seat while I wait for service. Hope it makes a difference as the stock was still stiff after rear preload suspension tweak.

Only think bothering me is wind buffeting maybe mephis fork deflectors may fix this? I am 5 ft 8inch and if I put my arm around my chest it quietens down quite a bit.

Thinking of getting the Zard slip ons E5 but not sure if it raises the sound profile ? Anyone have thus as I can't find a proper video online to judge.

Thanks.

The Memphis shades do quieten things down a lot (y) I also added a screen deflector and at 70mph with open face lid it’s very comfortable and virtually no wind noise. I listen to music at same volume around town or at motorway speeds..

enjoy ya new ride, my mate has the Manhattan and it’s an awesome colour. :cool:

I can’t find the link as bought it about a year ago but it was on Amazon something like this…

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Motorcycle-Universal-Windshield-Adjustable-Accessories/dp/B07XZ3TBP7/ref=sr_1_2_sspa?crid=1XZT5FBOD5MMY&keywords=Wide+motorcycle+screen+wind+deflector&qid=1687970272&quartzVehicle=93-11572&replacementKeywords=wide+motorcycle+screen+deflector&sprefix=wide+motorcycle+screen+wind+deflector,aps,80&sr=8-2-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGY&psc=1

plenty to choose from. I know I searched for a wide one so you can measure up on OEM screen to make sure it’s wide enough (y)
