    B handlebars on Roctane

    A couple of us on here have installed beach bars. I kept my wires external, routed along the brake/clutch lines. Other folks have drilled holes and routed the wires inside the bars. There they OEM and should fit the Roctane. They also come in black or chrome. I did the work myself, not hard at...

    BMW OEM left non-throttle heated grip $150

    New grip in package. Replaced my grips on the Classic and bought it in case the project went south. It went well so now it’s for sale. Made for grip heated option. $150 includes US shipping.

    Ariete grips

    I replaced my original grips with Ariete. The heating ability is retained however it’s not as hot as original since the Ariete grips are thicker. The heating element is under the plastic tube on either side so cutting is straight forward and easy. I used a heat gun to soften the grips and hair...

    Sidecar mountings

    The plug is under the left side panel near the OBD connector. It’s big and you can’t mistake it. I’ll post pics later today. From there I ran the cord behind the shock to the sidecar side and I have the EZ Can attached to the right pillion foot-peg support. From there all the Hex connectors run...

    Givi Top Case on R18b

    I commute on my bike. Computer bag AND helmet would fit well in a larger box plus I almost never have a pillion.

    Givi Top Case on R18b

    nicely done. if you're not riding with a pillion, this looks better than the TC top box.

    Sidecar mountings

    Used a Hex EZCan for the sidecar lighting. Works very well: https://www.hexinnovate.com/filter/jsf/epro-products/tax/product_cat:79;product_tag:107/

    Fitting tyres

    See attached for a general guide. Depending on the type of exhaust you may need to remove the cans as well to access the rear axel. Not hard just tedious. EDIT: sorry the wheel removal PDF is too large to attach. Search for the guide online, it’s in the virtual maintenance manual.

    Sidecar mountings

    It’s a Ural sidecar also mounted by Texas Sidecar Company. Mounting point seem the same as your pics. There are only so many place to attach the hack.

    Givi Top Case on R18b

    Pic please. Looking for something similar. Also you might consider a Hex EZCan for the Givi brake light. Will sort out the CANBus issues.

    NOCO NLP30

    Did a search and found old posts so here is a new one. Battery died hard today, leaving me to push the Classic - with sidecar - 10 blocks home 😳. Figured it was faster than a tow or getting a trailer. Literally a pain in the ass 😭. Replaced the OEM, 4 year old AMG battery, with a LiFePO4 NOCO...

    Discrete Camera's for R18 Classic Front and Rear?

    Quality is good but not insta or gopro quality. Yes, it connects to the phone via wifi for viewing. Installation was easy and for switched power I use a Heal Tech Thunderbox. Pics of the cameras mounted. Used the K6 because the DVR is built into the front camera; there is very little space...
