Got my R18 Home now....

[Pyalong]

Rode my New R18 First Edition (2020) home this morning as we had a break in the weather.......Greatfull for the heated grips as it was still cold (8celsius)....
I'm a happy vegemate again....

 

[Pyalong]

Set my pre load to 5 clicks and checked oil level and tyre pressure and all is good...
Also taken the Pillion pegs off and Pillion seat just for a cleaner look as the pillion peg on the rhs blocks that nice looking shaft drive and I only ride solo anyway...
Will post another Pic soon...
PS. I used one of the 3 screws (shorter one) that secured the seat strap and screwed it into the Pillion seat mount hole .......looks good.

Let us know how you like that setting. She sure looks bad ass…well more so once you post the ‘after‘ picture of what you did

 

[Pyalong]

Will do but the weather is terrible here at the moment so maybe some time before I get the chance to go for a good ride... love those heated grips .....
Cant stop looking at it......

 

[Pyalong]

OK.....before Pic with Pillion Peg and second Pic showing seat strap screw (Short Screw) used to fill Pillion Seat mounting hole.....
Last Pic with no Pillion Peg showing off Open Drive shaft....

 

[Pyalong]

Done...just need to ride it now...

Where did you get the floor boards and did you need to change out the side stand? Read if one uses the Classic floor boards it requires you change out the side stand.
