    Diameter of engine bars?

    Clearwater sent me their 27-29mm mounts. They don't fit:

    What did you do to your R18 today?

    yeah, I don't feel like I'm in an operating room. Just that my legs are straight out and actually the angle takes weight off my knees so it's not uncomfortable at all. I think on my 1000 mile days, I'm going to love having this. Now if BMW could just make a back rest on the TC seat where that...

    What did you do to your R18 today?

    I’m pretty tall so maybe it’s different for shorter legged people. I have a 32” inseam and these were sneakers. I can get another photo with my riding gear on.

    What did you do to your R18 today?

    Installed BMW OEM Engine Guards + OEM Leg Rests. This is a very under-rated modification. Sun was not doing my wife's iPhone any favors. Sorry these are under-exposed.

    Does the OEM Engine Bar Kit include hardware?

    Engine bars are installed but I'm still ordering the BMW ones. they probably just won't get here for a week but at least bars are installed now. Unfortunately, Clearwater sent me the wrong brackets. They're too small so my weekend plans remain thwarted!

    Does the OEM Engine Bar Kit include hardware?

    M10 @ 1.5 pitch did the trick. They’re not bmw so I’m still going to order the right stuff

    Does the OEM Engine Bar Kit include hardware?

    77147924349 costs $500 and it fits the Classic & Bagger. It is the engine / crash bars. On the R18 TC Parts page, this is the parts list: Note, it requires 4 additional screws priced $11 and $7 each or about $50 in hardware. Yet on Revzilla's listing for the Engine bar kit, it says, "Includes...

    R18 B 7 Jurock Windscreen

    Just for you I rode to Starbucks and am still enjoying the 20" over the stock bagger and the 18" Rurock screens. I put about 2500 miles on the stock bagger screen and 500 or so miles on the 18" and about 100 so far on the 20" Have some fall trips planned and just added a sheep skin seat to the...

    6,000 Mile Transcontinental with 6K service and accessories

    It's a black First edition. I sell a few bikes a year so I'd be willing to haul it to most places in the Northeast..probably as far south as CT. It has the First Edition box and roundels. The top box and seat were installed by MaxBMW according to service manual. break in service was done by me...

    6,000 Mile Transcontinental with 6K service and accessories

    Just thinking out loud and seeing if there's interest. I also may be moving to a new place and don't want to put 5 bikes in storage for 6 months while waiting for remodeling to finish. There are a few factors at play. I LOVE the bike but I love the new blue color and I don't have a TC really...

    Bagger / TC liner bag options

    I have the BMW bags and they work very well. you can stuff them to the gills and then slide them right in to the boxes and they take up Nearly all of the free space well. So they don't waste space where you slide them in with air space still left over except BMW's top case bag. that one does not...

    If you're on the fence, now is the time to buy one

    I have had a LOT of HD owners drool over the bagger And each of them has a jaw-drop moment when I tell them I paid $20K for mine With .9% interest. They just don’t know that they can get a fully loaded bike with 2x the size TFT, shaft drive, radar cruise for $10K less than what their HD dealer...

    If you're on the fence, now is the time to buy one

    I also think that if you want a more simple motorcycle that will be relevant, easy to maintain and outlast all of us, a base R18 is it. It has dumb suspension, no fancy tech gizmos, is lighter, no need to remove parts for tire changes and the most expensive failure point after the motor will be...

    Jumping on the (B)andwagon

    I've listed them out before but with a price difference out the door of only $3K from a Classic to a Bagger new, you're getting SO much more bike. Tank, Suspension, fairing, TFT, fuel gauge, floorboards, rocker shifter, hard boxes, speakers, tech, cruise control with radar, seat and more.
