    Question What boots work well with the R18?

    No problem with the shins but I do squeeze the tank hard enough that I plan on getting Wunderlich tank pads.

    R18 100 Years - BMW Accessories

    Hi Mike, Welcome to the forum. I got my Crash Bars from Wunderlich, not cheap but 38mm tubing, very well made and a perfect fit. I obtained some Carbon Cylinder Covers and Carbon Intake Covers from Japan, along with a Stainless Oil Cooler Guard - all look great and an improvement on OEM Parts...

    My new, retro bike to match my 1952 Boxer

    Very very sweet. Add some tank knee pads, and cut a hole in left side of the tank to store the bmw tool kit and it would be perfect lol (well at least my 65 r60/2 has a left side storage are in the tank key accessed).

    are these the cheap china ones? My expensive ones stuck well and have behaved for 2 years so far. When visiting China many many years ago, and in a market buying shoes and jeans for my wife back home, I realised how I needed to be a professional clothes and shoe QA inspector with vast...

    major @@#|@! moment The sticky stuff did not stick. Yes, wiped the pads and tank with alcohol. Put a smear of superglue around the edge and it is better but still messy. I think it a combination of lowish temperature and having put it too far to the rear. Further forward the tank side is...

    I think you can occasionally remove the rear seat and put it back on without scratching the real fender. Just look at the contact points under the seat and see if some soft thin felt pads should go ON THE SEAT not the fender so you don't damage the fender. If your old lady is careful, you'll...

    Protective film on tank

    Is anyone putting protective film or pads on top of their tank? I don’t know how thin the paint is now days on BMW motorcycles due to paint process they do now days. I picked this up used from a forum member and trying to sort out if I need to protect the paint if I put it on it.

    What did you do to your R18 today?

    I recognise what looks like the Wunderlich tank rack, but interested to know which passenger rack you have gone with? Is it a Motherwell that requires some modification prior to fitting (as posted in another thread), or have you been able to source something that fits as is? Thanks.

    ...or so. But a quick stretch at a stop sign or light buys more time. Definitely sits higher now by a good 2-3”. Might need those wunderlich tank pads now. My knees are like perfectly 90 degree’s now to the seat and pegs. So my knees are against the back of the tank. So they might help to...

On another note, and not wanting to derail this thread from its central topic but going to do it anyway, I'm looking for tank pads for the TC that will work with the pin striping. Most seem shaped for the smaller R18 and Classic tanks. Where are yours...

    What did you do to your R18 today?

    Added tank pads, much more comfortable. I ordered from Wunderlich, not the best quality compared to the BMW version I put on my R Nine T but they work fine. The adhesive isn't 3M and there was no template for placement. Part info: https://www.wunderlichamerica.com/BMW_R18_Tank_Pad_Set_Motorcycle
