Hello fellow BMW R18 enthusiasts,
My name is David, and I'm reaching out to this community because I believe I’m not the only tall rider here who is passionate about the BMW R18, but struggles a bit with comfort. I stand at over 6ft 3in (1.90m), and while I absolutely love my R18, I do find it challenging to achieve the perfect riding position due to my height.
I started this thread to collect and share ideas, experiences, and potential modifications we can make to our R18s to better suit those of us on the taller side. I'm interested in everything from seat adjustments and handlebar configurations, to foot peg placements and aftermarket parts specifically designed to improve comfort for taller riders.
Have you already made modifications to your BMW R18 to accommodate your height? Do you have tips or insights on parts that have worked well for you? Or are you facing the same issues and looking for advice?
Let’s help each other create the most comfortable riding experience for us tall folks, so that we can fully enjoy the beauty and power of our BMW R18s without discomfort.
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and solutions!
Safe riding,
David
