No I’m in the UK. Got hit hard with import duties as well :rolleyes: try contacting them as I’m sure they could ship to US. Might cost a bit as it’s a heavy duty bit of kit :oops:

I use the Hornig lift. Not cheap but perfect for lifting and moving the R18 (y)

Welcome and what a lovely B :cool: I’m just west of London in Buckinghamshire and I have a classic as does my mate. We are out most Saturday mornings if the weather is good for a cruise and breakfast run to Benson in Oxfordshire (y) enjoy the new ride. Jon

Have you thought about the option 719 seat? it is the same height as the classic so about an inch higher and is more comfy than the stock low seat. It gives you the option to move back and forth a bit where as a lot of the aftermarket seats are quite sculptured and wide. Yes they give a bit...

Welcome, loving the black Akro exhaust. What process did you use to blacken the headers? Very cool ride (y) :cool:

The riders seat anchor point sits on top of a plate that has three screw holes. There is nothing else there and I can see you don't have the pillion seat fitted so all looks well (y)

With reference to covering the pillion seat hole, there should be a black plastic push fit cover that goes over it. It’s a BMW part and cost pennies. there are also sellers offering fancy machined alloy ones. Enjoy your new bike, it looks amazing (y) :cool:

Hi Alistair, I don’t think it will be that much as they will probably only do oil, filter & maybe final drive oil. Not sure if brake fluid is done as it was changed on mine in year 1 :oops: I’d budget £250 to £300 but ring around your local BMW dealers for a more accurate price. Mines due it’s...

Can be perfectly normal especially if the bikes been standing for a while or there is slight surface rust on the rotors. I bet if you take it for a short ride and try it again it will have gone (y) So long as there is no obvious resistance it’s nothing to worry about. Jon

I was replying to the OP. I suggest you ask him as I’ve only ever ridden the classic (y)

This happened once on my GSA, turned it off and on again and it was all ok. I’m assuming you’ve tried this or does it do it every time? :confused:

I love the look of that (y) in my opinion the “skinny” front wheel makes the R18 look “chopper ish” which I personally don’t like. The fat front wheel just balances the bike so well visually:cool: Jon

Not sure if the standard R18 has the mounting points for the Classic side bags on the rear fender? if not you'll need to replace the fender and rear support that holds rear light and indicators as well :oops: Could get very costly. Lots of luggage options out there that will do the job for a...

Fantastic looking bikes and welcome (y):p

Thanks Long Shot for updating, you beat me to it (y)

I’ll get better pictures later but here are a couple for now (y) https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/zz124/blues-n-twos/rack.jpg?width=960&height=720&fit=bounds][/URL] and this one showing the extended fittings where quick release rack clips in...

I spend a lot of time in London and never had an issue. I have the original with me always so can pop it back on a be humble to the police officer ;)

I bought this from DVLA for £250 :cool: I have the yellow one in side case in case I ever get stopped. No issues so far;) https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/zz124/blues-n-twos/rack.jpg?width=960&height=720&fit=bounds][/URL]

You might find this of interest. I have one and it’s amazing. I have the classic but it comes with all the hardware for fitting. Quick release (y) https://www.motea.uk/sissy-bar-for-bmw-r-18-classic-18-21-detachable-backrest-luggage-rack-ql2-a017116-0 Jon

They don’t touch the cylinder heads. There is a very small gap between the RSD‘s and the chrome cylinder head covers (y)
