    Mustang Seats - Weekender

    MONTHS ago I got on Revzilla's email list to let me know when the BMW branded weekender seat would be in stock. I just now got the email!

    Hattech Legend Cone 25

    After looking over the various exhaust parts available from Hattech, the silencers I liked best were the Legend Cone 25. I contacted the owner aka "Hatt" who custom made a set of modified Legend Cone 25 silencers for me, suitable for exhibition use only. The fit and finish is excellent...

    Corbin Seat Owners

After I stopped, I shook the FOB and it rattled so I took it inside popped it open and found the battery wasn't seated properly. I decided to go ahead and...

    Engine Guards

    I continue to delay buying engine guards because in my opinion they really detract from the look of the bike. My R18 has never been down, hopefully never will be, but one never knows…today might be the day! But if I lived in fear I wouldn’t ride at all. So I keep thinking about the design of the...

    For Those Who Do Their Own Service Work (Including the Running-in Check)

    Accessories

    I am really frustrated with the fact that R 18 motorcycle sales are launched with promises of a full compliment of accessories, and then after laying out my hard earned $$ to buy an R 18, I find out AFTER the fact that the accessories are not "coming soon" but instead the status now is "Who...

    Tubeless Tires

    Am interested in understanding the construction of the R-18 spoked wheels and how they accommodate tubeless tires. I assumed the wheels had tubes installed (a purchase concession I reluctantly made) but further reading (several articles) has indicated there are no tubes in these tires.
