I decided to go for chrome for my backrest supports... only as there's so much chrome on the bike already I thought chrome would match in better... but I actually like the black finish with your 100 years backrest supports and brackets, it keeps your eyes from being drawn away from the...
I felt the 100 years bags were over priced TBH, especially since they had no way of locking, but I saved about £5.5K on the bike price so thought I'd spend a bit of that on matching 100Y bags!
Just looked at them on the Euro moto site and they come in at $1027.63 discounted to $930 for both side...
Excuse my ignorance R18 100 but what are lowers and do you have a photo of them on the bike?
I have put the windscreen on hold until I get a chance to take the bike out for a couple of rides, just to see what turbulence is like! But thanks for the info as it's a possible option, which is good...
I have the same bike and decided to go for the 100 Years bags, they came with the same mounting brackets as you have. I put them on to see what they looked like, I never got any mounting diagram and thought: why are these spacers supplied? I also noticed the screws they supplied came through the...
I have gone forward since I made the original post... I have since spoken to my nephew who does detailing, he is/will be in the process of putting a protective coating the bike over this next couple of weeks. After the bike has been ceramic coated he suggested a clear protection film either over...
I feel fairly much the same about keeping the 100 years as much as possible near its delivery spec as possible, mine didn't come with a pillion seat... although I do intend on using it with my partner at times so would to have a pillion option for her! I don't mind putting on and taking off the...
The Roland Sands cylinder head covers look nice... I think I am getting tempted! Did you remove the pillion seat yourself? I am eventually going to add a pillion to mine but wondering it there is clearance between the fender and the seat... worrying about damaging the paintwork on the rear...
Hi Rufus, I haven't even had a chance to find out myself TBH, was just going with a couple of comments made on the R18 youtube reviews I watched. Cheers
Nice, I really like the oxblood on the R18 100 years seat and wish there was one of the saddle options that incorporate that... might be a case of me looking for a seat and pillion seat then having it upholstered in the same criss cross oxblood style as the original seat, I just love the colour...
Thanks Luis for the input, and the suggestions... undecided as yet. Shame there is nothing on the pillion side from BMW that matched the oxblood stock seat on the bike!
Cheers
Hi everyone,
I am in Spain currently and just purchased an R18 100 Years in the UK.... unfortunately I won't get to ride it until end of summer! I'm struggling to find R18 100 Years accessories from BMW that actually match the bike and are available... do they exist? TBH I find BMW to be a...
