What did you do to your R18 today?

[r18andr12c]

My 2021 Classic FE with:
Rsd breastplate
Rsd cylinder strips
Rsd chrome wheels
Rsd black exhaust tips
BMW leg rests
BMW windshield bag
Wunderlich sissy bar
Wunderlich luggage rack
Wunderlich passenger seat upgrade
Taller windshield (I'm 6ft 3)
Wunderlich tool bag
Qi charger on handlebars
Recently took her from FL to Sturgis for a 6k Mike ride.
Love it as much as my R12C!

New bedroom for my TC, it's a just fit but easier & quicker than a loose cover. It
also stops next doors cat using my bike as a bed.

Had this for a year now… and to be honest I’m looking for a hardcover solution. If you find one keep me posted!

Looks great! That mod list about out-prices the bike!!

IMHO - Well worth it.... Not to mention it probably pushes weight well over 900lbs! Lol.

I don't have room for one of the hard wall shelters, they were my first choice but all too big for my garden,
the folding canvas ones only work as I can leave it open during the day for the wife to get her mobility
scooter out.

Installed a Quad Lock wireless phone mount. Used a Knuckle and low vibration head. Pretty easy install

Yes, I also mounted the Quad Lock with the vibration reducer. Seems to work really well. I also installed the wireless phone charger that Quad Lock offers. Works great!

I reduced its Sale Price to $18,900 ...

Did you use a DIN-USB adapter for power? I'm thinking of running a cable to the battery and using the switched power connector next to the battery with a relay. Hopefully that does not mess up the CANBUS system.

Where and how did you pull the power for the wireless charger? I have a TC and thinking about doing the same. I hate to use a DIN USB adapter plugged in the front dash... Thanks in advance!

Hi, not sure if anyone replied already, but you can use this: https://www.wunderlich.de/en/wunderlich-quick-connect-cable-kit-for-navigation-motomedia-21176-400
On FE, you can plug it under the left cover, where is the plug for charger, or there should be a cable under the petrol tank. There was a thread here on the forum

That's a really clean solution but quite expensive. I wish I can locate those two male and female connectors. Might ask the dealer parts dept and see if they have them available.

Today I changed my oil and filter with Liqui Moly oil and an OEM Filter! All torqued to spec and ready for a ride tomorrow!

I just accessed the wire feeding the socket and connected to that..... same for both my R18 and r ninet.... just need a meter to determine +ve and -ve. The phone holder I added was already fused... though the cable feeding the usb is anyhow.

I'm Australian based..... I bought direct..... stuff arrived quickly and was well packed.... I've bought 3 or 4 times from them.... tank cover, seat and another bag for my BMW Scrambler..... bag on the scrambler is the moss grey smaller one (10-14litres)

The larger bag (black one on my R18) cames with a plastic bit inside to help the bag keep it's shape.... on mine I trimmed it to let the bag sit a bit more relaxed. The smaller bag didn't have this.

After extensive research and your response, I’ve decided that Unit Garage bag, part no. U002+3401, fits my chopper style R18 the best. I didn’t realized that the Italian bag was so expensive!! I need to determine if sending a bank certified check or a bank electronic transfer is best for overseas payments. Any thoughts?

 

[harrisrc740]

Garage door openers. Still need to shrink wrap the switch and wire it to ignition

 

[harrisrc740]

A few other changes in the works!!!

You're really going wild with the "blackout" efforts; BMW offers a Model B windshield, where the bottom half is blacked out.

I have the black clutch and brake assembly that I was going to have BMW change out when they do my servicing, but I think I will leave those chrome along with possibly the center covers on the tank. I do like chrome, just thought it was a little too much on the bike, so I wanted to fail it back a bit. Maybe I went a little too far

Wonder if they still offer the lower bracket rather than the one which sits the bag higher up now ?

I intended to get my screen tinted, but the local shop told me regular tint won’t hold on poly or non-glass applications. Guy on Facebook had his screen tinted with the film they use for taillights. Looks awesome. Now I have to chase down someone who does this nearby.
