    Small bubble at the hearder pipe

    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: Jon

    R18 Classic vs R18 Bagger/TC Suspension

    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...

    NOW SOLD …R18 Day Rider seat set in black for R18 Classic & R18

    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...

    NOW SOLD …R18 Day Rider seat set in black for R18 Classic & R18

    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 👍👍

    Own Worst Enemies?

    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...

    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:

    Hommage seat or Day rider choice.... help!

    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...
