6'3" 255lbs here and couldn't agree more!I decided to make my R18 mine, since they are built for little people 6'4" 270lbs
60 hereMmm...as a 62yo.... it is good to know that I will grow down to fit my R18 over the next 10 years or so....
Yep.... most impactful issue on my TC is the limited storage volume. Your solution is interesting and appears appropriate.One test ride for long distance determined I'd like more storage. R18 transcontinental rack and a knock off HD tour pack. Will get it painted to match later this summer and swap the latch and hinges for chrome.

Those look great, very nice work!Not today ..but Saturday ... a little Arts & Crafts time.
I made these for my Shovelhead ... the straps are 3' long and I can strap down even my biggest duffel bag.

The trouble is they are very long and here i can just tuck them into the saddle bags ... I wanted something a bit more slick for the R18.
This is what I came up with:

... and before you say the strap is too short ... my wife already beat you to that!!
There is occasionally method to my madness ... there are extensions!

Much easier to store in the saddle bags ... and much cleaner look when I don't need them !

I reached out to MAX BMW, they provided the following if anyone is looking to enhance their horn: 61 33 8 555 579 is the part number for the 510 HzView attachment 9502
Installed the BMW backrest alongside the TC Comfort seat for my passenger process.

Made a splitter for the factory horn connector to add a 510hz horn from a K1600 to go along with the 420hz stock horn so the R18 sounds like a K1600.
I actually prefer the seat with no backrest. backrest is sat in my garage now.Took a little ride out to R2K's place and picked up his Cross Country seat for a test ride. Only 70 or so miles on the seat and it's a completely different bike in terms of comfort. I'm 50/50 on the backrest. View attachment 10953
