So I guess it's not just a rumor after all and is as envisioned... https://www.bmwmotorcycles.com/en/models/heritage/r12.html

FWIW, there's a previous thread on this here: https://www.r18forums.com/threads/r12-rumors-yes-please.806/#post-12274

I'm with @Alex-B for the reasons he noted. Have a little patience. We're a bunch of old guys.:ROFLMAO:

I also purchased mine from eBay. As many have said, the actual radius of the area that is supposed to mate with the bars themselves is smaller than 1", such that the risers contact the bars effectively at four points (two per riser) as opposed to being a nice even fit. I ended up putting mine...

Hey, Alan, There is lots of info on the forum about seats already. I don't mean to be snide by any means, but a quick entry of "seats" in the search bar will give you lots of info. FWIW, I have the day tripper, and it is more comfortable than the stock seat, but I also have noassatall, a...

Thanks for sharing that. It looks to me on first inspection that those RSD risers lift the bars up but not closer to the rider. Am I seeing it correctly? My goal is definitely not higher but closer to me so I'm looking for more "pull back".

Hi Guys, Being 5'5" I'm still looking for reduced reach bar options. I have installed the Kesoto risers and that was a big help, but I'd really like bars that pull back an inch or two. I ordered and received a set of Wunderlich beach bars which, I had hoped, would pull the grips back...

I am in the same camp. It's nice looking, a bit wider, and is firmer than I expected as well. The longest I've ridden it is about 3 hours, which is a fairly long ride for me, and it was comfortable enough, though I would have preferred a bit cushier. I should note - I have noassatall, the...

I'm only 5'5" and 140 lbs with a 29" inseam. I love the bike. I wouldn't love it without reverse. Much needed IMHO.

I just installed the Day Rider on my R18C. Unfortunately I have to be out of town until next week, but I'll let you know. It is a bit wider than stock. At only 5'5" with a 29" inseam, my feet are still flat footed on the ground, but not quite as firmly as stock. In terms of comfort, it's a...

Great idea about swapping the toe/heel positions. I wanted to lower my rear shifter further but it also hit my Classic exhaust. I'm going to give that a look.

Hi, My R18 with only 50 miles on it got a mysterious scratch on the right ignition coil cover. I'm thinking there must be plenty of us out there that replaced theirs and have the stock ones lying around. I'm in the USA in MA. Thanks for your consideration.

I'll PM you later today. Thanks. I decided to keep mine for now. I'll probably need the seat down the road more than the offered price. Thanks.

I just took mine off with only 40 miles on it and put on the Day Rider. How much are you thinking to spend?

I've been doing some research on the subject of highway pegs, and this seems to be a good option to offer full adjustability, though the pegs are a bit bulky. 1) Motech crash bars (available in EU and US) which have the vertical bar that extends under the cylinders...

That looks like the bars I've seen elsewhere. The owner was able to install forward footrest/pegs on those.

Where did you get them? I'd like to pick up this same set. Thanks! NVM - I see that you recommended Dennis Kirk. I just ordered mine directly from Memphis Shades. Thanks guys!

I agree with this. It's a mechanical system, and the gears sometimes need a little help to get the reverse lever and associated mechanical bits to "lock in" so to speak. Just take pressure off those mechanical bits ever so slightly by gently rolling the bike forward and/or rearward force while...

No worries at all. Just trying to make it clear for all. Thanks

Aha, so that means those risers bring the bars 1" closer to the headlight than stock, so they increase the reach, not reduce it. Reduced reach = bars are closer to the rider. (The rider's reach is reduced, meaning it's less.) Increased reach = bars are closer to the front wheel/headlight...
