    Beach bars I’m waiting

    By "further forward" I assume this means towards the rear of the bike, closer to the rider? (I might say further backward in that case.)

    Beach bars I’m waiting

    Thanks, that clarifies. It looks like the Wunderlich's probably reduce the reach by about 2".

    Beach bars I’m waiting

    Just to clarify, did you pick up the Wunderlich Beach Bars or the BMW OEM Beach Bars? Thanks!

    Vibration harmonics are a strange thing. It really depends on the geometry of the unit vibrating as well as its mass. It's actually not terribly surprising at all.

    Price check on aisle 5

    Good point, but actually BMW is making the first 6 payments in their entirety, not spreading that value over the life of the loan. So, the principal/pay-off at 6 months is reduced by the sum of the principal component of the six payments BMW makes over the first 6 months up to the maximum of...

    Will do! I will be away next week and pick the bike up on the 28th or so!

    Hi everyone, I finally negotiated a 2021 R18 Classic, loaded (Premium and Select packages including floor boards), in black storm metallic. I like chrome, and the FE is beautiful, but a more blacked-out muted color scheme was more to my liking. I paid a flat $15,000 on the "demo" promotion...

    New Wunderlich Bars

    This is why I think the Wunderlich version are an improvement over the BMW beach bars - less pulling and pushing motion.

    New Wunderlich Bars

    Agreed, they don't seem to be actual beach bars in the photos, but if they were positioned lower, they might. If you look at the schematics with dimensions they seem to be beach-bar-like from the top view.

    For those who may be interested, Wunderlich is launching their own Beach Bar complete with required hose and cable extensions which I created a new thread for here: https://www.r18forums.com/threads/new-wunderlich-bars.838/

    New Wunderlich Bars

    Hi, I know that many of us are keeping an eye out for possible new handlebars made for the R18. I just noticed that Wunderlich will be offering "Beach Bars". Priced at €399, that's in line with the BMW chrome beach bars, priced at €362. From the photos showing the bars mounted on the R18, it...

    Beach bars I’m waiting

    Thanks, I've checked those out - way to wide and the grip angle isn't for me. It seems the pullback of the Transcontinental stock bars may do the trick. Does anyone have any info on how those fit on a Classic in regards to both 1) controls and whether wiring or hoses need to be replaced and 2)...

    Beach bars I’m waiting

    Thanks, that helps clarify. I was hoping for an option with reduced reach, as I am 5'5" with about a 31" arm length.

    Beach bars I’m waiting

    Aha, thanks, I confused your response in regard to the beach bar install thread as being the other guy. I now see that was @burangs @burangs would you be able to chime in on how those bars worked out for you in regards to installation and reach? Thanks

    Beach bars I’m waiting

    Sorry if I wasn't clear. I understood that you installed Indian Scout Tracker bars instead. My question was directed to those, in other words, "How easily did the Indian Scout Tracker bars install? Do the Indian Scout Tracker bars have reduced reach....?"

    How easily did they install? Do they have reduced reach as compared to the stock R18 bars? Thanks!
