I am going to have Spirit Leathers (LMC’s leather supplier) duplicate that swing arm bag in black for my R18 project.

Dave

Did you ever get a swingarm bag like this ?

 

[MilwDave]

I was just thinking how nice that bag looks also.

I’m in discussions with Jimi at Spirit Leathers now. I’ll be sure to post details once we get things solidified.

Different ... but not my thing ...

Mine either, but having builders like Yaffe involved gets the R18 noticed in the U.S. market.

That is true

Maybe he should drop the bike a bit lower in the back, so it feels like you are always going up in the mountains.
Not my thing either, but happy with more and more custom work.

Could I ask if that is the Roland Sands seat by Mustang ?

If it is .....

1. Is the height the same as the standard seat ?
2. Does it push you forward or is the same ?
3. Is it comfier than the original ?

Thanks

Is that a ROCTANE model, or another R18 model with the rear side cases added? I think the ROCTANE speedometer is integrated within the headlight assembly.

You are right there when it comes to the headlight assembly. The rear mudguard is not the one for the Roctane and I believe the fuel tank isn’t either. Would it be a Classic one with the Roctane/B panniers and wheels?
One thing is certain, someone did a really nice job customising that puppy. I like it a lot.

Arrrggghh ! I love it!
But I don't have the guts to dismantle mine to repaint it all that color
