In Aussie land, I go this Penrite after I have 10,000kms on the motor:... so after warranty for the most part. Normally buy it 40% off around the boxing day sales. It's marketed a bit along the lines of "factory racing" but unlike the Motul V it has the appropriate additives for road use...

To old for that..... hacksaw'n file kinda guy.

Starts here.... https://www.r18forums.com/threads/head-steering-shake-downshifting.3746/#post-53716 Fwiw....if you click on a posters name, then their message count you can see all their posts and go from there.

Most would go something like these (aluminium) if looking for cheaper rather then expensive Roland sands design (RSD) ones.... your covers look the same as standard R18 ones...

They are Wunderkind 2stripes.... I'll look on my pc later to see if I got them somewhere cheap.... I got them to reduce handle bar width to get the bike down a narrow side after moving house..... so may have approached the expense as a "moving house" one, not "boy hobby".... update...

Autocorect is like a keyboard wife......

Fwiw.... there is another side to me..... last week I did a 2hr ride to get 6 pink lamingtons (that's my "heading to the snow" ride).... it's a real achievement getting 5 home not squashed.... this is how life achievements are measured in my retirement these days. Anyway.... these...

I'd just ride to a pub and get.... a pint and a parma....

From Facebook....

Not without some effort..... not quite beige.... but on the scale... And a real one ....

When the police, tax man or angry wife are after me.... I do beige (not to be confused with vanilla, sand and off white).

I think their 170kg test rider retired in '24.

You need a carbon one.....

My R18 took on the 2nd most venomous snake in world to save me back in 24..... that would be the Sky news headline. My wife would say..... don't be a sook.... you ran over a brown snake when you went to get a donut (bakery ride). Generally, we live in the wife's world.

I haven't seen such a good lot of BMW R18 parts for sale before. Worth a look if you need something......... interesting to just see some of it.... https://suncoastcyclesports.com/r18/?page=1 Full airbox... fair bit of volume to it after the panel holder front end of it.

Your just misdirecting.... how many have you bougnt? 🤪

Yes... I'm surely onto something. Just purchased some carbon fibre underpants....... every bit of me down there needs more performance these days, will report back on the performance gains when I take the wife for a ride later.... if nothing else.... I'm hoping my farts will no longer stink...

Go light and you grow old..... easy bike for a healthy 75yo I reckon.

Oops.... just ordered the carbon fibre bits posted above. Went for a ride yesterday and found myself in one of those poorly thought through overtaking situations, full throttle full rev range 3rg gear pull (so maybe 40mph to 75mph).... the bike just ripped.... maybe the tubes "do do...

Gravity is different over in the wild wild west. 🤠
