What did you do to your R18 today?

[Joflo]

View attachment 21799Installed my Kineos with fresh rubber. It really pulled the modern classic look together.

hows the sound on that exhaust? would you mind posting a clip of the sound?

 

[Star-Lord]

I believe only the transcontinental side case uses a subwoofer and the bagger uses a regular speaker.

Bagger is also a Bass sub

 

[Cruzin4abruzin]

I thought only the TC had subs since it had the top case speakers as well

 

[Star-Lord]

When I adjust the audio on my Model B, I can only hear the lower sub audio range; if I force treble to the rear speakers via the equalizer, the audio is badly distorted..

I currently have my audio profile set as "Balanced", which sounds pretty good for a bike at highway speeds...

I’ll make a post. I have a video but need to gain a brain cell to use YouTube.

Fitted my attempt at a vented engine badge and had it and the original lockable fuel cap powder coated gloss black.

I’m riding in a couple of days, so I’ll take decent pics of my latest changes, including the new black badges.

That actually looks damn good! Just a drill and went at it?

Yep… not perfect, but neither am I.

Looking sharp mate

Rode the Beast with its new black ‘bits’.
I think the new black badges really make the paint scheme look a WHOLE lot better imho.
I also switched to a smaller number plate and fit a cover frame. The engine plate badge on the right side is up for review… drilled holes, gloss black or as is.

Ok, I got impatient. Lowers and rack installed. I'm really liking the trunk and lowers black. I think I'm going to leave them like that for a bit. Took her to work this morning and man what ride!. Now I understand. This was the first time i've enjoyed the ride enough because I had zero buffeting. Rode with faceshield up and all. Me Gusta .

Which windshield did you end up going with? I really dig the tint on the one you got

 

[brownbandit]

After giving up on my roctane (steering issues) m, I just couldn’t give up the beloved engine and looks… picked me up a 2022 1st edition bagger

Has some nice aftermarket parts already installed like the Helibars

Morning, the specific one I purchased is no longer in stock, but do a search on ebay for BMW R18TC windshield and a few of them pop up. They are from China so it's pretty much if you don't like it, you're stuck with it at it's cost prohibitive to send back to them. I had no issue with mine, as you can see.

May we see the front?

Here you go

 

[LBV]

Here you go

Is that the full RacePro exhaust?

No, it’s the Vandemon full length exhaust. Amazing sound. Will get a clip going soon.

 

[HUNTS]

Ordered a new front engine guard badge as I’ve worked out a way to fit it without screws. Also ordered ‘Black Edition’ badges for the side panels and a black clock for the area between the risers. I got that idea from Petrus.
It’s the small things that count (never say this when you are naked).
About 2 weeks before arrival. I think it’s cost me about $20 at most for these aluminium black replacement badges (tank, rear guard, front and one on a helmet).

I'm in the GTA too ... maybe will bump into you around Caledon where I hang out many weekends.
