Front Fender | BMW R18

A front fender is a part placed above the front wheel of a motorcycle, whose primary function is to protect from spray. While riding, the front wheel throws up water, mud, dust and gravel: the fender intercepts this spray and protects the rider, the engine and the elements located behind the wheel. Beyond this function, the fender is also a major aesthetic element. Its shape and its volume strongly influence the allure of the front of the motorcycle: a bulky fender weighs down the line, a minimalist fender lightens it. This is why the fender is one of the most worked-on parts on a build. Our front fender FCR Original for BMW R18 combines this double dimension, protection and style.

Choosing a motorcycle front fender relies on three main criteria. The first is compatibility: the fender must match the model of the motorcycle and, a point often overlooked, the size of the front wheel, because a 16-inch and a 19-inch wheel do not have the same diameter. The second criterion is the style sought: a minimalist fender lightens the front, a more enveloping fender protects more. The third criterion is the quality of manufacture and the mounting kit: a good fender is delivered complete, with its mounting struts and its hardware, for an installation with no bad surprise. Our front fender FCR Original for BMW R18 is designed taking these three criteria into account.

Yes, this front fender is designed for the entire BMW R18 range: R18 Standard, Classic, B, Transcontinental, Roctane and 100 Years. An important point: its compatibility also depends on the size of your front wheel. It is intended for the original front wheels of 16", 17", 18" and 19". It is not compatible with other BMW families such as the R nineT or the R12. If you have a doubt about your model year, your version or your wheel size, our team checks compatibility with you before ordering at 05 49 62 03 26.

Yes, it is one of the strengths of this fender: it has been designed to suit the original front wheels of 16, 17, 18 and 19 inches. The BMW R18 and its variants can be fitted with different wheels depending on the versions and configurations, and this fender covers this range. This versatility avoids having to look for a reference specific to each wheel size. If you are not sure of the dimension of your front wheel, our team can help you check it before ordering.

This fender fits in replacement of the original front fender. It is delivered complete, with its mounting struts and the suitable hardware: you have no additional element to source. The kit has been designed for a simple and quick installation, each part being adjusted to integrate effortlessly. The fender fixes via its struts onto the points provided at the front of the motorcycle. As with any work on the motorcycle, if you are not comfortable with this type of installation, it is preferable to entrust it to a professional, who will guarantee a correct and safe fixing.

This front fender is made of steel. This material is chosen for its robustness and its resistance: the fender is a part directly exposed to spray, gravel and the stresses of the road, and steel offers a good durability over time against these aggressions. The fender alone measures 475 mm in length, 110 mm in width and 95 mm in height; fitted with its mounting bracket, the whole reaches 155 mm in height and 178 mm in width. Its black finish ensures a homogeneous integration with the front of the R18.
