R18 Bagger 1st edition
Hello everybody,


I am dealing with my client's project, and thats to change all chrome engine and gearbox and brakes parts from First Edition with chrome packet to 719 Option black(exhaust)/or standard black.
My dad already has one R18 B 1st edition, and this is to our friend/client, already has standard R18 Pure black on black, so he wants to match it.

i wouldl like to ask you if you can please help me with the item codes/internet links of:

- Dark chrome exhaust for bagger - OEM
- Dark chrome those gear rings near the exhaust - OEM
- black/dark chrome cover intake snorkel - OEM or link to aftermarket
- black/dark chrome Cylinder head cover - OEM or link to aftermarket
- black/dark chrome Engine housing cover - OEM or link to aftermarket
- black/dark chrome Cylinder head cover trim- OEM or link to aftermarket
- black/dark chrome Engine housing cover trim strip- OEM or link to aftermarket
- black/dark chrome Expansion tank cover- OEM or link to aftermarket
- black/dark chrome heel-toe shifter- OEM or link to aftermarket
- black/dark chrome rear brake- OEM or link to aftermarket
- black/dark chrome clutch and brake- OEM or link to aftermarket

I am planning to do from this

Have a nice day
 
IMG_3145.webpIMG_3146.webpIMG_3144.webpIMG_3143.webpCouple ways of doing this and most will be quite EXPENSIVE!!! I have taken this route myself and the cheap route is for all the small metal parts, buy at small countertop convection oven and a cheap powder coating gun and powder coat the parts yourself. For the plastic parts order from the R18 Roctane.IMG_3145.webp

Wow, your bike looks amazing!
I agree, Robert H. did a nice job and would probably recommend following his procedure, vs purchasing the equivalent ROCTANE smoked-chrome parts; which probably will add up to the cost of a new ROCTANE...

Or maybe do that.. buy a ROCTANE and use it for parts (kidding).

I was counting it, and i am missing a few last parts, and now i around 5000€ with VAT including first part of dark Chrome exhaust. Leeberman.de has really good prices and now 5% discoint.

I am missing the parts from after the first connection of exhaust, also including the covers.

5000 Euro sounds like only the exhaust.... But even the plastic parts add up very quickly. I had to stop getting them once my wife caught wind to my R18 spending 🤣
 
Hello Guys again,

here is the full customisation, what we did. Total price of the parts was around 10 000€ including VAT + work (calculated for 4-6k€ in BMW Motorrad service). My final price is quite lower - around 4500€ including everything. The next option could be changing colour of the wheels, that would be additional +- 500-600€, but I like it like this.
