Did the R18B tank need to be modified to fit the R18?

I would like a larger tank as well.

Regards,Tom

The mounts are not compatible with the FE and Classica. But I like challenges;) I will definitely drive with this tank. Later I will develop it as a finished product in our offer;)

Cool.
I was wondering if the stock 16L tank could be modded to increase the capacity but yours may be a option.I am having a Hannigan Sidecar installed on my R18C and I am sure my mileage will decrease.The added 24L tank would be a nice option.
Keep us that are interested in the loop.

Regards,Tom
 
Could you post some side & 3/4 side views of the tank?I'm thinking the tank will actually look better & fill in more than the 16L tank.

Thx &

Regards,Tom
 
ok. but tomorrow. R18 is already sleeping in the garage. Tomorrow, the adaptation continues and I will take some pictures for you

Thx Tomek,
I was also looking at the front fender on theR18B and if it would fit on my R18C.Please let me know if you deciede to look into that mod.

To Holan,

Next time you take the tank off, could you take a good pic of the fuel pump référence ? And of the bar and QR codes too.
May be we could find a replacement one from other manufacturer...

We do know now it comes from China...

Those look like they belong on a GS. You might quickly fill your order book if you bring something like this to market instead;

What are those bags ? BMW ? Available for sale ? I like them. I had some vintage fiberglass bags on a R75/5 years ago that looked really nice. These look great on this bike !

That looks nice, Rolan. BTW, where did you get the GPS holder and how did you connect it to 12V? Sorry if you already have posted.

in the photo you will see how I connected the cables (under the right cover under the seat) that I pulled under the fuel tank.. I took the GPS holder from myself (link) ;)
