    R18 TT

    Anyone know the builder? I’d be genuinely interested in doing this. Been thinking of it for a year or so now.

    R18B Passenger Backrest / Sissy Bar

    I’m a fan of the OEM backrest, though it requires removing the side cases to install / uninstall

    That photo isn’t of the rocktane. There are none at the moment.

    R18 Roctane

    Ther There are no pictures of the "Rocktane". Any photos you see are existing images of the R18. No one has information on timeline because it hasn't been announced yet. Earliest I'd speculate that it'd be announced is early July during the Motorrad days event.

    OEM Engine Guards and Wunderlich Bag Protection Bars

    Thanks for this! I'd suspected the exhaust would touch with the bars, but wasn't sure. Good to know!

    Buffeting Beatdown

    For anyone looking for part numbers for the OEM windshield options. TC and B share mounting points, so all windshields fit both models. "Masked" is a tinted section on the lower portion of the windsheild. A visual representation of that is shown in the 2'd windshield in the graphic below...

    Engine Guards and Pancake Flippers lol

    I've been on the fence on if I wanted to powder coat mine. Nice to see photos, thanks for posting them. Looks great.

    Looking for a 100 Year Edition

    I've got one with no markup. MSRP + $499 doc + tax (we handle title / registration for whatever state you're in with our Doc fee). No freight / setup / other fees. We usually use Haul Bikes for shipping nationwide.

    BMW branded passenger backrest?

    For anyone else that wants a part number for this. Note: the 'kit' is just the bracket, cap and hardware for the cap to mount to the bracket. The seat comes with hardware for the seat. 4 M10X35-8.8 bolts are required to be ordered to mount the bracket. The luggage rack part number is not shown...

    BMW branded passenger backrest?

    Correct. There's a small black rack that BMW designed to mount to these ~10mm holes in the bracket. BMW discontinued this part # in December, then re-introduced it in January, though they haven't actually produced any as far as I can tell. I've got a parts TSARA case open regarding the part...

    BMW branded passenger backrest?

    I have it installed on my Bagger. Note: This is with a TransContinental Comfort seat, which is substantially thicker than a Bagger seat, and 0.75" thicker than even the standard TC seat. It'll be higher up on the passengers back with a bagger seat, though my passenger likes it where it...

    Brake lever

    I deal with these bikes every day and have ridden over a dozen of them and yet it took me looking at a diagram to realize it. Props to BMW for the quality part there making that not so noticeable.

    Proud owner of a R 18 100 Years

    I’m surprised we still have ours on the floor for sale. The 100 year R9T went right away, but the R18 hasn’t gotten much attention. They did a great job with that anniversary edition imo.

    What did you do to your R18 today?

    Installed the BMW backrest alongside the TC Comfort seat for my passenger process. Made a splitter for the factory horn connector to add a 510hz horn from a K1600 to go along with the 420hz stock horn so the R18 sounds like a K1600.

    R18 Dual tone horn upgrade

    I’ve always been a huge fan of the way the recent K1600 horns sound. In my opinion, they sound very similar to a mid-size car and I like that. This is due to the K1600s using two horns. One 420hz and one 510hz. The R18 comes with a single horn, and it’s the same 420hz as one of the K1600...

    Vance and Hines

    The internal screw is tack-welded. You need to grind that weld spot off. The end caps are pressed in tightly. Use a rubber mallet to help knock it loose if needed. If you don't have this, you can try twisting the end cap back and forth to work it out. Getting it back on may be a challenge, as...

    I have this AIRMOTO one and use it often on everything from bicycles, basketballs, to motorcycles. It works great.
