I am seriously thinking of going down this route but I have never seen an R18B. Is it the same as on the Transcontinental or is it a little longer ?.
looks great; perhaps I have found an address from a guy in The Netherlands who can do this also. Do you perhaps have the RAL color code for this paint?
thx in advance
I have the TC also; as per BMW it's the same as for the Bagger, except the TC has the chromed extra's. Based on what I can see at the dealer, dimensions are the same (they say).
If I get my pin-striping fixed, locally, it will be installed beginning april...

I guess you'd have to compare the part numbers to see if it is the same. My guess is it will fit.

No. I just took it to my paint guy and said white pin stripe. Looks to be the same to me.
did he also spray the total fender afterwards? And what was the total cost? I am going over to a friend this saturday; the painter dit a stripe job on is R26... see how that looks

I have taken the plunge today and ordered the front mudguard as fitted to the R18B for my R18C. Thank you for sharing the photo of yours fitted .

Good idea having a look first at the quality of work. They are hard to do properly freehand. I have seen some taped and they look excellent as well. Spacing is important.
I don't have a code, but they are not white. However, given their distance apart they can be matched quite easily. Typically pinstripes are not cleared afterwords.
thanks... I will take a few pictures of the R26 job... spacing and stripe size... measured on the rear fender centre rear above the liscence plate... the fender is a bit squared there, so not measured from the edge but from the bend line (just look at it; tou 'll see) roughly 26 mm from that bend line, first stripe 5mm wide, spacing of 2.5mm and second stripe 2,5 / 3 mm

Bmw pinstriping goes way back and is a point of pride for owners. BMW stuff is hand done and done well. Most metro area with a BMW club has someone who knows someone who does pinstriping for/on vintage rides. Check around. Quality guys exist most everywhere. Don't go with a hack with a paintbrush. You can't unsee poor work. GL.

No he didn't overcoat the fender. I don't remember the cost but it was reasonable.
