    Side Reflectors

    I have an R18 Roctane. I would like to remove the side reflectors on the front two wheel shocks, and the two saddlebags. Has anyone done this and are there any problems? Assume they are glued on? And the removal doesn't leave any gaps, etc?

    Service Warning Light

    How does one cancel the Service Warning Light? I just had all the oils done and the light stays on. It wasn't done at a dealer.

    Heated Grips

    I ride a 2024 BMW R 18 Roctane with heated grips. A friend has a 2023 R18 Roctane. He says that his grips at the 3 bar level are so hot he has to lower to 1 or 2 bars. Mine at 3 bars (the highest heat level) barely keeps my hands warm while wearing normal gloves. The dealer's mechanic says...

    Turn Signals (R18 Roctane)

    I find that the signals automatically turn off too soon (for my liking). I would like to go 'retro' and turn them off myself (Yes, I'll forget once in a while). Is it possible to cancel the auto shut off of the turn signals? My dealer says no. However, I had a Goldwing and my mechanic...

    Luggage Rack Disappointment

    Earlier this spring I purchased a luggage rack (and back rest) from Roadstyler. It was, in my opinion, quite expensive but seemed well engineered. I attached a leather tool case to it which I carry some small things like a tyre gauge and other small objects. After a couple of months the paint...

    Windshield

    I recently purchased a 2024 R18 Roctane. I'm looking for a flare type windshield. Any suggestions? I had the National Cycle on my Suzuki M109R and it worked beautifully. No issues, did what it was designed for, and it looked good.

    Fuel Tank

    I recently purchased the R18 Roctane. Previously I rode a Suzuki M109R (My first ever motorcycle purchased on my 68th Birthday). I just turned 78. One of the selling points was that it appeared to have a 20 litre fuel tank. However it now appears that that it is 16 litres including 4...
