Hello Gents. This is my first post on this forum. I've been riding bikes for over 55 years. Have had a score-plus of bikes and nearly a quarter of a million miles in the saddle. I've never owned a Beemer, but I really love the looks of the R18 Classic. There are a ton of ridiculous deals on them out there.
Here's my question. Is it possible to put an R18b fuel tank (6.3 gallons) on a Classic? Why BMW would put a 4.2 gallon tank on a bike that has cruise control and light touring potential is beyond my comprehension.
Any insight on this would be appreciated as I am pondering whether I can move from my Street Glide with a 6 gallon tank, to the Classic with it's tiny fuel tank.
