Rocker Covers | BMW R18

To choose suitable rocker covers, check three criteria: compatibility with your exact motorcycle model, the material and the ease of installation. These points determine the aesthetic, the durability and the simplicity of fitting the part. In detail: compatibility must correspond to the exact engine of the motorcycle, rocker covers being parts specific to each model. The material affects durability and appearance, fibreglass offering a good balance between robustness, lightness and finishing quality. Installation should be possible with the supplied hardware, without modifying the motorcycle. The FCR Original rocker covers for BMW R18 meet these three criteria, with an exclusive design and a complete fitting kit.

Rocker covers are installed on a BMW R18 to personalise one of the most visible elements of the motorcycle: the side cylinder heads of the boxer engine. It is a central aesthetic detail on this model. The Big Boxer of the R18 displays its rocker covers prominently on either side of the engine, at eye level. Dressing them with covers of a worked design immediately transforms the character of the motorcycle and sets the tone for the entire build. It is one of the most visible and most striking personalisations one can bring to an R18, while remaining faithful to its cruiser spirit.

The FCR-BM-CC003 rocker covers are compatible with all models and all versions of the BMW R18. They fit onto the original engine fixing points. The R18 range shares the same Big Boxer engine and the same rocker cover layout, which makes these covers universal across the entire range. If in doubt about your precise version, contact our team with the references of your motorcycle before ordering for validation.

The rocker covers install in a few minutes per side, without any particular mechanical expertise. The complete kit and hardware are supplied. Installation follows two simple steps, identical on each side. Present the rocker cover on its location, then secure it using the two M6x25 screws and the two plastic washers supplied. It is important to apply threadlocker on all screws, as indicated in the installation instructions and thanks to the included pod. Repeat the operation for the second cover.

The FCR Original rocker covers are made of high-quality fibreglass, a material chosen for its robustness and durability. Fibreglass resists weather hazards, the heat released by the engine and the stresses of the road, without becoming brittle or deforming. It keeps its shine and its hold over time, which makes it a reliable choice for a permanently exposed part like a rocker cover. It is a material that combines lightness, strength and finishing quality.

The FCR-BM-CC003 rocker covers are sold as a pair, meaning two covers to equip both sides of the BMW R18 boxer engine. The delivered kit includes the two rocker covers, all the necessary hardware (4 TBHC M6x25 screws and 4 M6 plastic washers), a threadlocker pod and the installation instructions. You therefore have everything needed to equip your R18 completely, without any additional purchase.
