Reat Pillion delete

I took off the rear pillion and covered the bolt hole with a 14mm BMW sticker I found on Amazon. Looks pretty good it think. I want a fender rack but haven't found anyone that makes one yet. Photo of one on my Speedmaster. Has anyone seen something like this for theR18?

Have you seen this?

R18 Classic rack - solo rider

No I had not seen this one. Thanks for posting it. It is along the lines of what I was thinking. I don't think it would work with the classic because that is where the saddle bags attach.

It will likely still work but the bags will be pushed out a titch. I would think it’d be like adding a washer before the bag brackets, ie no big deal. Maybe email Holan and ask? He/she is active on this forum too.

They have one for the classic as well...

Okay so I've got a pretty good eye & I thought the rack off the Triumph might just fit. Well it did fit perfectly. It is made by Motherwell and is sold at https://newbonneville.com/shop/chrome-solo-rack/
for $115.

Big piece of luck it fit.
Or is the space between the bolts a sorta standard ?
