Thank you for the detailed write up sir. Gosh you must be chasing the best ride,,, the bike already has the weekender seat, high profile Classic front tire too
Can you post the exact part number for this? I'd like to order the same one with the 20mm lift here in Australia but the localised website doesn't have an R18 option
What you think that the bike runs smoother or better with lower quality fuel is actually a retarded lower performing engine not performing at its best. Engines can feel smoother when the knock sensors pull back performance
Id suggest the GS, Africa Twin, Triumph Tiger, etc if you want something to ride while camping. You won't enjoy taking the R18 on many campsites, cleaning it after days of muck, it's not manuverable in tight spots? Lots more reasons why it's not suitable for your wants
