Hello Crs443, I like those paniers from Holan. What are your thoughts about them after some time of usage ? Are they big enough ? Fixation is good ?
Thanks for your feed back.
Hello ,
I Finally got my bags installed . There re a bit cheap made but should do it . Coming from Motea 38ltrs each . I find them a bit wide when looking from the back . I ll see at usage .
Incredible ! How is that possible ! Was this bike made in China ? for the amount of money we paid , In 2021 , this kind of thing is just cost cutting and needs to be really fighted back , no excuse for BMW .
Adaptive Headlight IS A WASTE OF MONEY on R 18.
Nothing to do with efficient car adaptive lights. This one , in a curve , of course i tested it since it was 0km bike , so this one , adds a bit off light when you do curve , about 2m in front of the bike...
Here is my "amateur" solution for my Top case. It s a bit "Panzer like ", Heavy and difficult to destroy. Still need some work for finishies and paint . I Might just use a Mate Varnish to keep it row metal look. It took me some efforts and time , i'am quite happy with the result.
If I was a bike manufacturer i would push to have somebody in my staff creating and running a forum like this. That s why i was asking . Just for info of course .
I didn t know it costs so much to keep a forum running . So that s roughly 80 usd total a month , right? Don t you have something to do with the R18 business ? A BMW employee?
I agree with the comments above . Good forum.

Hi Holan, you do make efforts to build some interesting stuff for the R18 . Please carry on . For this one , it s not really what i am looking for . I d like to be able to move with this bike at highway speed for more then 30km without back or ear damage. And I don't want to ride a R1200RT...
Hey Gaylord , Thanks for your help !
The bike just comes back from the local BMW motorad dealer which did the maintenance ,and their mecanic had no clue about oil level motor warm ! So he had to take some off ! I did not do the oil change . I just find it Strange to have oil level at top of...
Few days ago i checked the oil level , could not see any oil on the oil screen. bike 900km. i called the dealer and he explained the level was to be taken motor warm. did another check after 20km ride , waited 5mn as said and level was at the lower limit of the screen but still OK.
Yesterday i...
I ve taken the touring Puig Windscreen . Impossible to adjust in order to get no helmet vibration and acceptable helmet noise. It s always noisy whatever the position. i can get rig of the vibs by flattening the position but the noise is still there. and it becomes ugly when to flat . Ok...
