Welcome to the R18, that looks like Bahnstormer’s’s Maidenhead? If so I’ve sat on that many times :ROFLMAO:
Andy the business manager there is a mate and he has an R18 Classic as do I and my mate Chris.
we are all local and do regular rides on the R18 (y) I traded my R9T 40 years against my...
Looks like a microfibre cloth has made contact whilst hot
get some very fine wire wool and squirt some WD40 on it and gently work the area. Fairly sure it will come off as I’ve done it myself several times :rolleyes::ROFLMAO:

Electronic auto levelling on B & TC so conversion is cost prohibitive.
make sure your preload is set correctly to the riders gross weight. Search on here for number of turns for weight.
it makes a huge difference getting that set up properly. Some good after market options now available that...
I did look at the fittings on the Roctane and I believe you can fit a single and dual seat like the day rider and weekender. There is an additional removable bracket under your seat that leaves the same fittings as on the classic and pure. If you’re local to Buckinghamshire you are more than...
Hi Paul, I just ordered with widest possible one from Amazon or eBay. Link below will give you an idea. I managed to get one that’s almost as wide as screen but you need to look at dimensions 👍...
Hi Paul, yes it is as it offers a wider “seat” and a bit of support to your lumber area. Most noticeable is the pillion as it’s double the thickness and slightly wider. My girlfriend loves it 👍👍
That looks very comfy 😃👍 I agree that we get fleeced on making the ride comfortable 🙄 I bought a set of used day rider seats here in the UK a year ago for £400. I’ve just advertised them for sale at £400 so no depreciation really as the new cost keeps going up so residual values for quality used...
BMW R18 day rider seat set in black for R18 & R18 Classic. As new condition and used very little. Only selling as I’ve bought a set in Brown which I think I prefer 😬😂🙏
Comes with the additional mounting hardware. This my also fit the Roctane as I looked under the standard Roctane seat and it...
Well here are 3 classics together 😂 taken this evening on a little trip out to Turville in Buckinghamshire. Mines the black FE classic and my mate Chris has the Manhattan green and Andy has the white classic. Always turns heads and conversations when out on the R18 😎😎👍
The Memphis shades do quieten things down a lot (y) I also added a screen deflector and at 70mph with open face lid it’s very comfortable and virtually no wind noise. I listen to music at same volume around town or at motorway speeds..
enjoy ya new ride, my mate has the Manhattan and it’s an...
No I’m in the UK. Got hit hard with import duties as well :rolleyes: try contacting them as I’m sure they could ship to US. Might cost a bit as it’s a heavy duty bit of kit :oops:
Welcome and what a lovely B :cool:
I’m just west of London in Buckinghamshire and I have a classic as does my mate. We are out most Saturday mornings if the weather is good for a cruise and breakfast run to Benson in Oxfordshire (y)
enjoy the new ride.

Have you thought about the option 719 seat? it is the same height as the classic so about an inch higher and is more comfy than the stock low seat.
It gives you the option to move back and forth a bit where as a lot of the aftermarket seats are quite sculptured and wide. Yes they give a bit...
