As I recall ABS heat deflection was around 80 degrees to 100 degress Celsius and it's melting point was 190 C. This means the plastic shouldnt melt at that location on the engine casing but it will get soft enough that it might deform. Keep in mind I didnt experiment with ABS at all so there...

Can you be more specific? Which user/guy are you referring to?

Aluminum does sound cool. No heat worries and a true metal appearance. Now I need to look into costs on aluminum manufacturing for small orders...

@Ulrich You could print that in some sort of heat resistant (nylon filled glass?) material at any 3d printing services shop that can do selective laser sintering. I've done this a few times already, here is my latest prototype. Keep in mind I already checked the temp of the engine with a...

Im looking to change out my chrome stock fuel cap with a blacked out one. Im not opposed to the BMW motorrad blacked out cap but wanted to see what my other options are. Denniskirk.com and other parts sites have lots of after market fuel caps but Im unsure if the cap for the R18 Classic is...

@Jeremiah This is the link to the one I ordered which will be extremely similar to the one TravisD listed above. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0B1VDJVG5/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I have this same issue. Not sure exactly when it started but when my roadking would have trouble starting like this it meant the battery was old and needed to be replaced. In this case it doesnt seem to be the battery (my bike is a 2021) so it seems it's a weird "BMW thing" like one dealer...

I bought the weekender seat and had issues with the install as well. Attaching the driver seat was smooth, I put the bushing where it's supposed to go but then I would push down on the passenger pillion to try and "mate" it to the bushing without being able to see through the foam. Doing it by...

Is this a modification (removing the servos completely) that can be done without a service lift? I would be laying next to the bike on the garage floor and not sure it would even make sense to try doing this without lifting the bike up.

Got a picture of the bike with the new risers? I'd love to see them.

I designed them in CAD software and then had the design manufactured as a 1 off job. The engine case at that spot will get around 102 degrees celsius after a 30 minute ride according to the thermal gun so the material had to be heat resistant. I used a matte grey polymer to try and match the...

Swapped my engine badges for a horizontal exhaust stack like you see on a P-40 Warhawk

I was looking for a passenger backrest and was considering getting a Roadstyler but wanted something with a more rounded look for the frame so I opted to order an R18 backrest from Amazon for $120. It's understood the backrest comes without any additional hardware and no installation...

Agree. I rode a 2006 Harley Superglide without a front fender for a period of time and as soon as you get caught in a rain storm you may as well pull over. The front wheel would throw a steady blast of water right up at my face the whole time to the point it was dangerous for me to go over 25...

I didnt like how there was nothing to break up the brushed aluminum piston covers so I designed and manufactured some custom piston cover trim parts. BMW has aluminum versions for $600 USD and I didnt want to spend that much just to add some definition to the pistons. I can have more produced...

Rybread, what grip covers are those? They look great, how do they feel?

Just to be 100% sure the seats for an R18B/TC will not fit an R18 FE or R18 Classic, correct? I see the stock seat for an R18B and it looks like it would be pretty nice on my Classic. I wonder how much different the underside of the seat looks...

Can do. Sent you a PM here.

Oh it's chrome underneath. It doesnt look BAD exactly, it just looked... bare. I wanted to add another blacked out piece to the cycle and that was a challenging location with the curves involved but it worked out.

Varg, The 2021 Classic has footboards, was this a plug & play for the footboards? Just detach current footboard and install the new pegs without having to change out the mounting bracket or kickstand or such? They look nice. Did it get you a little more leg room at all?
