    Customs R18

    Wow! It is so refreshing to see something which really stands out for it's individuality and style. I love the minimalistic seat - really low and discrete. I am looking for something like that for my Roctane - mind if I ask where you got it or is it a one-off?

    What did you do to your R18 today?

    I installed my 'poor boy Jekyll & Hyde' today. Much easier than I expected, especially after I realised the connectors weren't near the rectifier (don't ask) :oops: You need two of these units - one for each flapper valve controller. Simply unplug the harness and put the Healtech units in line...

    Vinyl wrapped the intake covers on my R18B to add some color today.

    Nice contrast with the Candy Red against the Black - are you intending on wrapping some more parts? I have done car bonnets (hoods) in the past which are much easier than small parts like that - nice job (y)

    Vance & Hines Slip ons

    I ended up with a set of these lovely looking silencers but guess what - they do not fit my Roctane :cry: They are only compatible with the Classic or First Edition so I need to sell them on. They are brand new, never fitted and still in the original wrapping. Check the part numbers to confirm...

    Extra Head/Brake light and DRL/Signal

    But surely lowering the headlight a few mm cannot make any difference at all - the aim of the units is the only thing that will. Have a look at any other twin headlight bikes (like the Rocket you used as an example) They all have symmetry and don't dazzle anyone, even with the same beam pattern...

    Extra Head/Brake light and DRL/Signal

    Curious - To prevent dazzle, the beam pattern on any modern headlight (especially LED ones) will be specific to LHD or RHD so the physical height of the lamps will not make any difference.

    Extra Head/Brake light and DRL/Signal

    That twin headlight setup really suits the bike - it might be a trick of the camera lense but the right headlight looks a bit higher than the left.

    Healtech switchable flapper valves

    A valid point S-L and the idea had occurred to me too. However I try and keep noise down to a minimum where I live (I have some difficult neighbours) so a switchable system would suit me better to keep the peace ;)

    Healtech switchable flapper valves

    I have been looking at the Healtech ESE-SW-BM1 which controls the exhaust flapper valves. These are designed to give a switchable system to open or close the valves, depending on preferences - a kind of Jekyl & Hyde system but on a budget. Has anyone had any experience with these units? They are...

    Tim, I like that little fairing you've got installed there - what is it?

    Roctane backrest?

    I've got a solo seat on my 2023 Roctane and fancy getting a backrest. Any ideas guys?

    R18 TC with drilled out exhaust baffles video

    Yep, go for it - you won't be disappointed (y)

    Front Wheel Noise

    Excellent fix Baldwdd and I was about to go through a similar process, but I eventually found an even better solution and changed my 1st Edition for a 2023 Roctane ........... completely silent now :D:D

    Interesting exhaust options?

    Also drilled out my baffles today - 29mm hole saw did the trick nicely. Much nicer sound now (y) I might try the flapper valve module next :D

    What did you do to your R18 today?

    I was looking for a decent, affordable exhaust system for my 2023 Roctane but could only find black or bright chrome and didn't want to lose the beautiful dark chrome of the stock system. Companies like Freedom, Akrapovic, Vance & Hines, Shark Road etc are all very nice looking systems but there...

    R18 B / TC Installation of ROCTANE Rear Case Filler Panel

    Can anyone help me out with the correct part number for this kit painted in Mineral Grey? I can only find Blackstorm or Primed, but not Grey

    Roctane Exhaust Conversion

    I agree that the Shark Road pipes are good value - I had a pair on my 2020 Goldwing and they had a lovely sound. I think I will sell the V&H pipes locally and use the money to buy the Shark Road ones.

    Hand Guards

    I had those on my K1600 Bagger and they really made a big difference on the colder days. Definitely a worth well mod in my opinion
