    What did you do to your R18 today?

    So after one month in India I returned and the new pillion back rest from Road Styler had arrived. I installed combined with the flat rack. As you can see from my daughter sitting on the pillion seat it sits a little too far back with the Wunderlich pillion seat. So may need to look at either...

    Customs R18

    Very deep I am currently on a 1 month Ayurveda and yoga retreat in Chennai India. Learning much more about this. Unfortunately it also means my ride is sitting at home back in Germany and missing some of the best of the riding season.

    Welcome. I have had my '21 classic for just over 2 weeks and put 1100 km's on it. Some basic modes and love it. Last ride was a BMW K1200S I have had for 20 years.

    Wunderlich Gear Shifter extensions

    Close up of the rubber section. Almost impossible to fold back. Very thick and strong rubber. Have done a couple of longer rides now and very happy with the final placement. My foot is sitting with the toe just sitting to the left of the front lever and heel is pressed into the back lever...

    What did you do to your R18 today?

    Today I added the retention wires to the side covers. See the seperate post with pictures and details: https://www.r18forums.com/threads/right-side-trip-panel-covers-toolkit-popped-off.938/ Also added a chrome oil cooler cover: Difference between standard and new: Final fitment. It was an...

    Right side trip panel (covers toolkit) popped off

    I sourced the cables with a push to unlock slider from a local supplier here in Germany.: https://www.steelropes24.com/ Tucked away and easily removeable if needed. Fed the wire between the rubber gromet in the attachment area on the lowest side.

    Oil level

    My original K1200S didn’t have Centre stand Standard. Had to buy as an option.

    Oil level

    Well the reason for the purchase was ease of manouvering in the carport for space management. Good side effect is that the bike stands upright and I can check the oil. But yep wold be easier if the sight glass read the oil level on the side stand

    Oil level

    Ölmessstab In typical german fashion it is a combination of several words. Broken down it is literally: Oil Messuring Stick. But if you want to get your point across maybe you need to frame it to the engineers: Hey Dipstick add a damn Dip Stick will you! But for me I have resolved the issue...

    Right side trip panel (covers toolkit) popped off

    So reading this chat has made me paranoid about my side covers. Anyone looked into something like the above? Way too long but can be adjusted. Havnt pulled the cover yet to see if they can be attached but could be an option. Thoughts for those of you who have investigated it? 8Euro for 2 on...

    Wunderlich Gear Shifter extensions

    Today I did a final adjustment on the front to accomodate my riding boots. Went for a quick ride to pick the daughter up from school and must say the feel is completly different. Easy to shift down but even better up shifting small movement of the foot and can find the rear shifter very easily...
