Welcome felixj, where have you been! Post a picture of your bike(s) when you get a mo, always nice to enjoy other people’s collections. Can’t imagine a bigger contrast than between a Honda Monkey and a R18C!

What size hole cutter did you use please? Looks like 1 3/8” is about the best fit according to the thread.

Realise it’s been a while since you posted but I’m just about to drill mine so thought I’d ask before actually going ahead. Was the pipe (rear silencer) pretty much straight through then, for the disc to fall out when you shook it? I know stock exhausts can often be a combination of sealed...

My bike is stock, didn’t have opportunity to ask exactly what’s changed because my bike was done at the dealership and taken there from home & returned to me. The workshop manager did say over the phone the bike had to be upgraded with the new parts. Guess that means ECU update from the...

That’s a bummer Hammo, think we are all a bit held to ransom by the dealer that happens to be nearest to us. Thankfully the two I’ve had dealings with lately have been really good. I hope you do get sorted especially if you do use/need your reverse to work.

It’s BMW Marshall Laceby. Tbh I’d cancel your appointment and tell them to get back in touch when the fix is ready, especially as you aren’t bothered about the compensation. Anibal is having his bike fixed today so the fix is definitely ‘out’ in the UK.

Welcome, I guess a few pictures would help us visualize what you’ve taken on and where you think you want to go with it.👍

Yep, done, fixed 👍 Did update the ‘main’ thread running on this recall topic last night. So, Stockholme8 I don’t see that should put you off, speak to your dealer because the fix is available in the UK, fact. Don’t be fobbed off, if they want your business they can get on the phone and order the...

Ok update, reverse fix done, bikes literally just been dropped off. BMW were really excellent, must be said. 👍. Hoo rah!

My bike went in this morning, collected from home, it’s coming back about 5pm tomorrow. 🤞 all fixed.

Getting better after a few rides/starts?

As Anibal says my bike is in this Wednesday for reverse fix. Marshall BMW Laceby, North East Lincolnshire. So don’t panic. The wheels are now turning. I have a dodgy left knee so I too need the reverse to be available. Hopefully when I get the bike back on Thursday I will be able to update this...

Having heard so much about Orwell over the years at the age of 55 I decided to do something about it, so last year bought and read 1984, Animal Farm, The Road to Wigan Pier and Down & Out in Paris & London. IMHO it’s very easy to recognise much of what he wrote about 80 odd years ago, happening...

Just pick the one you like the best, as far as I know there’s next to no difference mechanically and seating position will be pretty similar. If you are buying from a BMW dealer then they can (and should) run the VIN to check for any recalls on that specific bike before you collect. Probably the...

you’ve put a lot of $ into it, expensive accessories those. Should be nice to ride 👍

Hello and welcome 👍

Ahh, I see. Well, hopefully something will turn up for you. Don’t know your location but I’d start making a list of some bike breakers and online sellers who list BMW R18 used parts on eBay and the like, ring around a few, they probably don’t bother listing damaged parts (why would they?) but...

What do you want them for? There’s always stuff on eBay (for example) and no doubt other auction sites.

Dunno BobJ, I wonder whether the ‘reverse recall’ and accessories compensation deal has used up all or at least most of the existing RSD stock? Tbh because it is expensive stuff I can’t imagine a great deal of it was sold at full RRP. I have considered it myself but decided it was a bit too...

Afternoon 👍. As Anibal says post a nice picture when you can, always like to see the bikes out and about.
