What did you do to your R18 today?

[BigJimSlim]

Yes ... the internal Resistance/Wattage/Amperage or whatever the ECU is measuring appear to be the same spec as the OEM BMW ones.
I did have to cut the plugs off and solder the wires together ... easy
... by the way now I am looking for the Kellermann/Kuryakyn Bullet '1000' in Red/Red for US style rear running / turn-brake lights.
I can only find some base mount ones like this:

But I need a 'Stem Mount' like this:

If anybody has a lead ... let me know ... I checked RevZilla and they are out of stock ... so that style must exist

I found a set of rather inexpensive ones ... not sure if I trust them .. but they are cheap enough not to worry
So I went ahead and ordered them .. now we will see

The carbon fiber looks great with the color of your bike!! I bought a whole roll with the thought of maybe covering the fenders, gas tank, and side covers. Check out my wrapped intake manifolds. It was a challenge to do w the compound curves. Maybe a much later project.

I was tempted to go the same route but powder coated them instead.

Great paint job on that blue!! My 33 streetrod is starburst orange but I saw someone w a BMW matt orange that looks spectacular. When get bored w my current color, I’ll go w the matt orange.

Important Note: you must use blue thread lock with this. Today on my 1st ride with it a piece went down and i was extremely lucky that got stuck between chassis and exhaust.

Yes Sir (make sure you buy the 61 USD option) - made that mistake, as you need the peg and the lever…

Glad to see this as I’ve been stewing on one. How is the quality and is there any adjustment for the rest itself? (ie) Can the angle be micro-adjusted fore and aft? How about a pic from the side? Thanks!

Thank you much. I would have made the same mistake and ordered the peg alone.

Quality is ok and i am really satisfied.
It does not have micro-adjustments like the R1200C back support

Thanks, that is one of the ones that I’ve been considering. I have been searching far and wide for that side-on shot as it always looks different in the posted images —trying to gauge how much room I really have.
