The clutch fluid is mineral oil. The BMW blue fluid is not that expensive if you feel the need to flush or add fluid.

To access the wiring harness connectors that are hidden beneath the tank.

The one I got was solid and worked out perfect. I’ve seen two versions. One does not have the raised barb on the elbow. I bought the one with the barb because the OEM plastic ne has the raised barb on it.

Sure they are. What makes you think they’re not hollow? You only need to slot them in the same area as the OEM bars. BMW really cheaped out by not providing them with the slots already in place.

I may have to break down and get a set of those Kineo wheels.

Bronze plating aluminum is likely a no go. But the engine case doesn’t get that hot so a good powder coat job would probably be pretty durable.

I'm a huge fan of Tackform mounts. They offer a great variety of mounting solutions and I've yet to come across a more solid built product. I don't want a phone mount on my R18 but I use Tackmount on nearly all my other bikes. https://www.tackform.com/

The Condor dolly is the best I’ve seen. I own two of them and will be purchasing two more for winter storage of our bikes. https://www.condor-lift.com/product/motorcycle-garage-dolly-part-gd-3500/

Yup, along with the overpriced bracket from BMW.

Did you get this figured out?

I usually print this stuff out at work. We have a high quality color machine with an unlimited use contract. But 2700 pages printed 2 sided is still 1350 sheets. By comparison I have some 650 page manuals that printed 2 sided are 2” plus thick.

Thanks!

By chance is the clutch line routed in a way that you’re not getting full extension?

Are you using the extended hydraulic lines?

I used Klaus Brummel in Germany for mine. Excellent quality but pricey.

Excellent news, good job!

The clutch is pretty soft on the R18 compared to most of my other bikes. I’m sure you’ll discover a wiring issue somewhere.
