    WTB R18B Foot Pegs

    The shifters are on a spline and can be moved up and down. I changed my end pieces out for a set of longer items from Wunderlich and they have some additional adjustment for the length of your boot. https://www.r18forums.com/threads/wunderlich-gear-shifter-extensions.4003/#post-54514

    Important Turbulent free riding

    Yeah did not notice it until I got up to the higher speeds. Not something I do a lot of but with the unlimited sections on the autobahns it is nice to open her up occasionally

    Important Turbulent free riding

    With the Memphis shades, trying to recall my aerodynamics theory from my airforce days, there should not be any lift on the beasts front but what I can imagine is that if the angle of both is different then pressure variations due to the angle of attack of the wings will create the wobble. Not...

    Important Turbulent free riding

    So question for those who have installed the Memphis shades. Has anyone else noticed a handlebar wobble effect at high speed? I installed mine and went for a short autobahn blast and at 160km or 100mph it was noticeable. over 160 I had to back off. I am suspecting a slight mismatch of the...

    What did you do to your R18 today?

    So Just picked the beast up from an annual service and completed the 10,000 KM service. Valve check. All in tolerance. Also changed out the front and rear tires for Metzler Cruisetec at the recommendation of the service center. I did not use BMW but rather a local all brand workshop...

    R18 Helmet

    Schuberth Jet Helmet for me..can’t wear goggles and have progressive lenses so this is a great compromise. And amazing it is quieter than the previous Schuberth flip up helmet I had prior to this one. I do like the fit of the Arai helmet but harder to get here in Germany. So stick with the...

    DISTINGUISHED GENTLEMAN’s RIDE

    Completed I am thinking I may convert this also to a medallion for the blank area on the battery cover. I am waiting on some coin blanks. Some room for improvement so will need to play around with the tool paths

    What did you do to your R18 today?

    So playing around with an AI render tool I have come up with the above So now just need to import into CAD and generate some tool paths. The medallion above took 4 hours of milling. Hopefully this is less!

    What did you do to your R18 today?

    I continue to play around with the CNC and made a brass emblem for the blank on the left side cover that has the battery behind. Still need to do some more polishing and finishing up. But I am thinking this is going in the right direction to add into the vacant spot. I used the logo and...
