Flip wings are remarkably effective

[Deleted member 1344]

To our brethren who are riding the R18B, I strongly recommend you consider buying the clear plastic flip wings that attach to the lower front of the main fairing. This evening it was mid 70's (temperature) on the interstate highway, so for the first time I flipped those plastic wings out. Viola! the wind turbulence seemingly disappeared. Chalk one up for the engineers in Berlin. These 2" by 5" wings make a remarkable difference.

Are these a BMW accessory or aftermarket (& who makes / sells) ?

BMW makes the flip wings. They are designed to be attached to the R18B fairing. The attach points are already there I think.

On the TC, It's somewhere in a submenu of a submenu of the TFT.

Yep, def fits, albeit not perfectly without some modding (cutting the winglet, getting different signals, maybe using some rubber padding?). Got em on my bagger and cut em to fit.

The Buy It Now button, or the Check Out button...

Maybe search "Winglets", there's so many detailed posted information on the forum for this particular topic.
