What did you do to your R18 today?

[Anibal]

You have a license plate with "R18" written on it.
Immense respect.

Ok, I think you have started a trend

It is still too darn hot to enjoy a ride .. so limited riding more looking for stuff I can't live without
Found this on E-Bay






Well under 10 bucks and works well

Been eyeballing that Wunderlich tachometer for some time now ... but it always shows 'Out of Stock' on their US website ... well a friend in Germany sent me a care package

Well poo .. I tried o post some pics ... but I keep getting a "We ran into some problems" prompt ...

Longs story short then .. Wunderlich America says this will not fit with the 'Classic' windscreen ... well this is not the case ... it fits beautifully, I was completely expecting having to create a custom bracket ... but not so much ... it fits!
Here is a vid with it all done:

Was it difficult or ticky to "plug" it electrically. Wunderlich documentation did not help me much.
I understood you have a plug to fit "somewhere" on the bike.

There is the power plug ... you have to unplug the connector to the utility outlet and then it plugs in between the supply wire and the outlet ... the other (brown) wire was too short the way I routed the wire that goes to the spark plug ... I had to lenghten that one and while I am at it I ditched the red 'squeeze' on connector ... stripped a short piece of the brown/black wire at the sparkplug and soldered it on ... not too difficult, but yes the instructions are a bit 'lack luster', I hope this helps.

Put power to handle outlet for phone charging

Picked up cheap winglets on AliExpress for my bagger on long trips. Huge help for buffeting and the stereo is way clearer at higher speeds than before.

added a gremlin bell to ward off road spirits and Gremlins.

- New brake and clutch top lines (w 5 cm pullback)
- Wunderlich tachometer. It fits Classic windshield! They have changed the original design of the base.



Notes:

The top lines were stretched so decided to buy customized lines from Spiegler - you need 2, both are going to be 375mm long ( center to center) and we are using a 20° lateral bend banjo fitting on all ends of these lines - probably you want 370mm as you can see mine could be a bit shorter.

Lines were under 130 USD which was AWESOME in price and quality. Call Brian, and he can help.

No need to bleed lines, just follow instructions found on this forum for the beach lines, wunderlichs just recommend you to pump and pump… brake lines is easy, clutch takes 30 mins of pumping

For clutch you have to buy BMW Clutch Fluid which is blue!

Tachometer is much cheaper in EU. A friend was visiting France and saved some money. Brown wire is too short to follow other wires so i extended it.

Yes the tach most certainly fits ... I just installed one too and the bracket looks much different than the one shown on the American Wunderlich site ... I was perfectly prepared to make a bracket after they told me that it wouldn't fit ... But I didn't have to ... Nice ... One question, does the back light on yours also stay on for an extra 30 seconds after you turn the bike off? Not a problem ... Just a bit odd.

Ah good then it is not just me, charging won't be an issue, I use an old fashioned charger on the jump start studs

Nice ! You found a "BMW Gremlin bell".
Someone offered me a "Harley Bell".

What did you do to your R18 today?

Well, here's how you destroy the look of the R18 100 Years Edition.
Having ridden RT's then a Goldwing, I was used to a bit of storage.
Not real happy with the look, but it gives me the storage required
for a week long trip.
I also mounted an older Zumo 595 on the Wunderlich Device Holder/GPS Mount.
