That looks great! My favorite fender change yet!Pin Stripe completed by Ron Hernandez Glendale AZ.
Looks wonderful and sleek HerrFarber
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 ?.I received the front fender from the R18B today PN 46617924616, almost a month after I ordered it which isn't too bad considering it came from Germany. Installation wasn't bad but the T40 screws that attach the fender on to the lower fork are a bitch to get at without removing the front wheel & they use a bunch of lock tight. I did have to drop the brake caliper. I replaced the T40 screws with SS 8M 1.25 x 20mm bolts with lock & flat washers when I installed the new R18B fender. I have to take it off again to get it pin striped & I can actually get a wrench on the bolts. Here is the result on the Classic, I really like it.
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?
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).I am seriously thinking of going down this route but I have never seen an R18B.

I guess you'd have to compare the part numbers to see if it is the same. My guess is it will fit.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 ?.
No. I just took it to my paint guy and said white pin stripe. Looks to be the same to me.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 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 .I guess you'd have to compare the part numbers to see if it is the same. My guess is it will fit.
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.did he also spray the total fender afterwards? And what was the total cost?

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 mmGood idea having a look first at the quality of work.

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.
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.thanks...

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