Yes it is vs an R18 would offer. The lastest gen wing engine is very nice though feel it kicks off more heat then prior gen wing, somewhat. Different animal for sure. Had a 2019 goldwing tour dct airbag model.

I found the limiting factor of a goldwing dct is the…dct. I felt the need to trail brake (rear brake) while giving it a drop of throttle to complete low speed turns and u-turns. Though one can do manual shift mode it is not the same as a clutch. Granted it shifts well, and likewise upshifts...

So maybe should the added some background info. Saw a video on the old K series bikes. They spoke about ethanol jelling up in bike tanks. Thinking, fuel injected bikes might not have that issue, as they have enough 'pressure' to break up the jelly and push it into the pistons. I did see this...

So, I can get 93 unleaded as well as 89 ethanol free. Was going to buy 2 gallons of each, but the bike wouldn’t hold that much so I got 2 gallons of 93 and 1 gallon of ethanol free today. Honestly I don’t know if I should just get the highest octane unleaded possible and not worry about...

good luck with that… :)

Crib notes edition - Honestly, save for what seems to me a bit of long turn in I am liking my R18FE. Granted they cost too much at the start then dropped prices like a rock. The stock seat sucked lol. Though if you got one at the low price point I feel it is a great cruiser bike. It likes to...

Has anyone added Denali lights to an R18 without blowing the wiring system up? If not, I don’t know that’s worth chancing that happening in order to save some bucks buying used lights. My dealer only uses Clearwater Lites brand for this purpose

Denali did say I might need the following. Note, one item is to mount the lights to the bmw crash bars

Purchased some nice used stuff from a guy recently for a slightly used 2023 R1250GS which I recently purchased. He also had some Denali spot lights for sale. Here are the items he has. Uncertain what parts are needed, inferring such can be done, nor what parts beyond the dimmer control and...

Thank you

I can claim I never wrote this post if I have to...like someone else did the post honest!!! I really do like my balloon shaped stock exhaust on my R18FE. Having said that, it seems the R18C exhaust will fit my bike. Is there any reason to change them out? Maybe just a bit of difference in...

Darn, made for the R18C not a base R18...

Agree on bag volume on the R18B/TC due to those darn speakers lol. Indeed, the new 2024 HD bike bags have lots of storage space and their new frigging TV sized TFT screen is beyond large. I guess if you have to ask what it cost you cannot afford it and for certain Harley 2024 Roadglide and...

“…on reflection overall it was a less fun ride than the R18 imo. In hindsight, I probably should have just changed the rear shock on my R18. Fuel capacity/ gauge weren’t an issue for me.…” I am hearing you there guy. I do like the look of the R18B and the price was great (a steal) but it had...

Had not noticed that prior. Uncertain how a first edition r18b differs from later years. Save maybe for the free kit box they gave back then. Nice spot running lights, bike I may look at does not have them. They also have a TC in that purple color for like 4.5k more plus yet more weight. I...
