Yahoo Autos BMW R18 B Heavy Duty is a head-turning, flat-twin-powered custom bike
Released in 2020, the BMW R18 was welcomed as a blank canvas by companies that specialize in modifying motorcycles. Created by Fred Kodlin with the German firm's blessing, the latest R18 offshoot turns heads with an air suspension system and a tattoo-inspired paint job.
Kodlin started with the touring-focused R18 B model and enlisted the help of his son Len to turn it into a heavily-customized bike named R18 B Heavy Duty. Nearly every visual part has been modified: the father-and-son duo added parts like a chopped windshield sourced from the BMW Motorrad Accessories range, extended side cases made with fiberglass, and a rear fender that covers nearly the entire wheel. The fuel tank is custom-made, and it's longer than the stock part to complement the flowing lines. A splitter was added behind the front wheel.
