BMW R 18 by Marcus Walz

.  

WalzWerk Motorcycles is one of the world's leading companies in the Custom bike and Bike Building Industry and global market leader when it comes to BMW Custom- and Concept bikes.

Customizing pioneer Marcus Walz has developed a conversion kit for the BMW R 18. He wants to build 12 units in 2021.


Although all the modifications that the rolling mill is making on the BMW are visible at first glance, they are not conspicuous. The many parts are harmoniously put together and give the R 18 a completely new shape.

WalzWerk’s R18 features a Walzwerk adjustable bobber seat, front and rear fenders, two custom mufflers which save eight kilograms.

The fully adjustable shock absorber is developed by Touratech, and is 40 mm lower at the rear. The forks are 70 mm lower, in which a spoked wheel with a diameter of 21 in and a 120 mm wide tire turns under a shortened fender.

The base model also features a sidemount number plate, black headlamp, pegs and fuel cap, special mirrors and German-style bar-end indicators from Motogadget, plus special engine and numbered plaques.


In order to keep the flat line of the Walz-R-18, the long and curved standard handlebar is exchanged for a flat version on new risers.

LED headlights and fork covers remain standard, only the bottom-mounted bracket of the headlight is exchanged for a milled piece with the Walzwerk logo.
