What did you do to your R18 today?

Funny on how different people tastes are when it comes to esthetics I purchased what is pictured below to match my valve covers and engine cover but havent put them on because I didn’t want to cover up the “Made in Berlin“ wording.

Preparing our road trip to Sicilia starting next Saturday, I installed this, supposed to be temporary, Top Case on my "bécane".
Yes! You English speaking bikers do have to learn how we call a bike in French ! :ROFLMAO:

It's a cheap but strong enough item I bought at Motea:
