Anyone have experience with this windscreen? I'm getting ready for a long trip and hoping to find a windscreen that offers more protection than my current Wunderlich Cockpit Fairing on my R18 Pure. This would just be a temporary replacement - something that's more functional for long stretches...

Put on a Roland Sands gas cap cover to dress the R18 up a little. An easy 2-minute job once you realize you need special retainer spring pliers to complete the task. :) Can someone tell me what these two black plastic pieces and clear protection film that came in the box are for? I'm...

I'm working on installing a new, BMW billet two-tone engine housing cover on my 2023 Pure, which is turning out to be quite a DIY job. The engine housing cover I've ordered was deeply discounted from BMW Motorcycles of Grand Rapids (MI) for $315 USD - down from $1,179, so I couldn't resist...

Hello, All. I'm looking to sell my 2023 R18 Base. 6300 miles on the odometer. Manhattan Metallic Matte, Black Pinstripes, Cruise Control, Heated Grips. Additional add-ons: - Wunderlich Cockpit Fairing - Spiegler Wunderkind Micro Front Turn Signals - Unit Garage Drag Bars + Bar End Mirrors -...

With 6,000 miles on my 2023 R18 Pure, I'm beginning to research new tires. I'm currently running the OEM Bridgestone Battlecruise tires, which have been pretty good for grip and rain. Most of the mileage on these tires has been two-lane highway. But as the tires wear, I'm noticing a tendency...

I'm just back from a month-long trip to the eastern Canada provinces (Quebec, PEI, Nova Scotia, Cape Breton, Newfoundland, and New Brunswick) - the wonderful land of much rain, fog, and pot-holed roads. :) I'm still damp and chilled from the long tour, although the trip was quite an adventure...

Successfully loaded my R18 Pure for the first time on to my new trailer today. It's an Alpha Sport - a knock-off copy of a Kendon fold-up trailer. Looks sturdy enough, and I've checked all the nuts, bolts, and welds. Used Rhino retractable straps, which were a breeze to use. Have security...

I've been practice-packing for my first long trip on my 2023 R18 Pure. Going to the eastern Canadian provinces for a 3-4 week trip in mid-June - up the east coast from Philadelphia to Maine, across into Canada, ferry to Nova Scotia, then on to Newfoundland, Labrador, and then back. Trailering...

Hello All, I have a 2023 R18 Basic/Pure, that's loaded with many extras except for reverse gear. I'm reading on the forum that the reverse gear recall is being addressed. So now, I'm wondering if anyone knows if it's possible to retrofit a reverse gear on a non-reverse gear equipped bike? If...

I've had my new, leftover 2023 R18 Pure for about 5 months now. Been working to make it into a more comfortable long-distance ride without turning it into a full bagger. Upgraded the suspension with Wilbers front and rear, Wunderlich Sport fairing and foot rests, BMW saddlebags, tank bag and...

Installed these Akrapovic beauties today. Nice, quiet, mellow sound. Tried to post a sound/video clip, but no go. :)

I'm looking for tips / advice on how to replace the front fork springs on my 2023 R18 Basic. I have Wilbers progressive springs on the way. Not finding much info. on the site, so I'd appreciate advice from anyone who has performed this task. I'm assuming the front fork legs need to be removed...

Another suspension question from a new member - this time about replacing the front springs on my 2023 R18 (Basic/Pure model) with Wilbers Progressive springs. I've ordered the parts for both front and rear Wilbers suspension parts, which will take a few weeks for delivery. In the meantime, I'm...

Hoping that someone has installed a Wilbers rear shock and can provide some advice or how-to tips, or direct me to an instructional YouTube video. Searched the forum, but not much info except for some good reviews. Thanks in advance.

Hello All, Looking for recommendations for rear guards for my R18 (basic) with BMW soft saddlebags installed. I have OEM gloss black engine guards on the front, and would like something similar to protect the rear. I've done a quick search and saw the RoadStyler Back Guards, but hoping to hear...

My wife is on a road trip to AZ through west TX and saw this Transcontinental in the parking lot. She texted me this photo. Belong to anyone on this forum?

Traded in my 2016 GSA for a good deal on a 2023 R18. I've been a BMW owner and rider for 40 years, but this cruiser is quite a departure for me. I've been doing my diligent homework on the forum. trying to catch up on all the relevant information. Added a Wunderlich fairing, BMW saddlebags and...
