    Hard starting.

    Good morning, I got a peculiar issue with my base r18 and wondered if others have this quirk. The bike has begun taking more time to crank over after 3k miles. When you start it up and let the system boot, prime fuel pump, etc and finally hit the ignition my bike will crank over various times...

    Unit Garage sportail, anyone?

    Good evening, Has anyone tried the Sportail conversion from Unit Garage? Looks pretty neat. I was considering doing some sort of chopped fender setup but between limited tail light options and possibly ruining a good fender I am open to other options.

    Harley Gas Caps fit...

    Good evening! Did some digging and found a nice Arlen Ness gas cap that fits! Fitment is for 1997 & up vented tanks. Suppose if ya'll want something with better grip on the base and classic models you now have more options! Will ride with it and see if I get any issues but it fits the same so...

    Baja Designs light?

    Good morning peeps.. Has anyone tried the Baja Designs lights as the main unit like the Harley folks do for their bagger models? On the base model the headlight appears to be the smallest thing and reminds me of the goombas from the Super Mario live action so I was pondering about their LP9...

    How hard have you ridden?

    Morning everyone! My recent BMW bike night had me gunning after riders with K1600s, S1000XRs, 1250s etc on the highway. Past 80mph I'd feel like the bike doesn't like it. Granted, it'll hit 100 easy but I don't think these were made for sustained speed like that. How hard have you guys pushed...

    Take-off part. Got an upgraded one. Has 2400 miles on it from a 2022 bike. Not gonna lie most of ya'll don't need this since aftermarket exists so I'll just throw up a number at OBO and see what happens. Will ship for $500.

    Wilbers Shock on base model.

    Evening folks! I posted recently about upgrading to a Wilbers shock and am here to deliver. Will admit this is a short run of only a few miles but I picked the rougher streets in my neighborhood until I can get out and ride further. It's ridiculous how much better it is than stock. Before...

    Anyone install apes? Mini-apes?

    Hello, I've considered getting something in the 12-14'' height range of handlebar and was curious if anyone has done this already and to what cost? The handlebar appears to be a 1'' diameter bar so no big deal but the wiring harness and clutch lines seem to be harder to come by and cost a lot...

    Update: Memphis Shades Demon is better!

    Good day everyone! After doing some rides with the Blade Runner screen I realize I get a bit more buffeting than I'd like so I did some digging and discovered the Memphis Shades Demon screen. Its handlebar-mounted only and is 3" higher than the blade runner but narrower. Highway runs so far...

    Seat or shock? Thinking shock..

    Good day fellow mechanics! Is there a general consensus or scale on which to judge the available shocks? I've heard of Wilber, Touratech, and Hyperpro i think its called. Would I be good with any of these? I dont want to burn money with multiple seats as I already have one of the mustang-made...

    Memphis Shades Blade Runner screen works!

    Evening! Spent the better part of my night installing and testing this.. MS stopped making the Blade Runner screen but the Malibu is still available I think. As someone at 6'2" I only got minor buffering at the top of my helmet with the visual distortion but thats about it while going up to...

    I have to be pouring gas wrong...

    Hey guys, As the title reads, I've had a minor issue with my bike.. so my R18's tank has a plate that I can only imagine is part of a baffling or anti-slush feature built in that is causing a lot of spray and spatter when I put gas. Sometimes, ill get lucky and the pump is low enough in...

    Hornig tail-raise kit

    https://www.motorcycleparts-hornig.com/BMW-R-18/Alu-High-grade-Steel/High-up-Kit.html Good morning! Anybody use this yet? How far can you really lift the bike before things become an issue? is it with the fuel tank angle? Or the ride geometry? I'd like to get this or experiment in the future...

    Harley muffler clearance assist!

    Good evening! I got a couple Vance and Hines mufflers from a softail I cut down to fit the bike and notice there is about a half to three quarters of an inch of the muffler aiming right at the swingarm. How do the aftermarket mufflers make this work without possibly cooking the swingarm? Thanks!

    Highest bobber kit.. custom?

    Good morning! As a 6'3" rider I'm currently rocking the mustang weekender seat. After a while I get some tailbone and hip aches but nothing too severe. I was considering a bobber seat but the wunderlich kit is too much so I want to use the springs from the kit and make my own plate to go with...

    Long time coming! Plus a bittersweet beginning...

    Morning everyone! As per my last couple posts, I've had the R18 on the back of my mind as I crunched miles on the multi and last night I finally lubed myself up and went to the dealer. Funny enough, they had the bike outside already "on hold". Got it with select package and high seat for $14k...
