    Whats the mileage on your R18??? And how long have oyu owned??

    About 3k in one year of ownership, mostly early on. I think I’ve ridden it maybe twice in the last couple of months?

    No need for a trike with GLK landing gear

    Someday, probably not long from now, I will be thrilled to bolt a pair on … and keep riding!

    Has anyone considered switching to the K 1600 B

    I tried to like the K16 platform. I still do, but alas, I just never got along with it. Instead, I ended up with a latest gen Goldwing DCT and it is the best BMW RT that I have ever owned. A perfect counterpart to my R18C.

    Engine Guards

    If there was a “loopy” guard available like your pic, I’d be first in line. Otherwise, meh to everything else I have seen. I think the bike is beautiful without them.

    Auxiliary LED Running Headlights Installation

    That sounds like a quick way to meet Mr. CANbus, but I’ll recuse to your mentor.

    Smart colleague! I just bought one and it is the best bike that I have ever owned.

    Jumping on the (B)andwagon

    That is exactly why I bought it. As I slowly age out of two wheels, my lower arms have taken a beating over the years. I have moved off all of my other bikes that had even a hint of vibration. The R18 will eventually depart too. I just can’t ride it for very long without pain.

    Jumping on the (B)andwagon

    I thought about a B, but in the end I bought a Goldwing and kept the Classic … for now.

    Anyone installed handlebars meant for another bike?

    Yes, I installed the Scout bars that you mentioned, specifically the Klock version of the tracker. They fit just fine. Though they have thru holes for routing, I didn’t initially bother and ran everything outside. That was mainly because the exits fall under the R18 control mounts. This winter I...

    I’m not sure how to remove saddlebags on my 2021 R-18 Classic.

    There are (should be) four shorter fasteners snapped into the mounting frame on the inside of the bags. Use them I/L/O the fasteners you just removed —and snap the longer ones in their place for safekeeping.

    Are you a one bike man?

    Great bikes! I had a pair of ‘04, a 🐝 GSA and a Williams GS.

    Are you a one bike man?

    Try as I might (and the R18 is on the chopping block right now), I never seem able to get down to just one bike.

    BMW (Mustang) Seat options breakdown

    Not in that pic, but that is just a thumb screw adjustment. It will also move forward a bit as it inserts further into the receiver.

    R18 aftermarket exhaust is missing a heat shield

    As mentioned in the other thread, the FP in your pic has a heat shield. I have the exact same exhaust.
