As BMW continues to pour millions of euro into trying to make a dent on the domestic U . S . ( and international ) large displacement Bagger and Tourer markets , Freedom Performance has stepped up to introduce new slip-ons for the BMW R18 B Bagger and R18 Transcontinental - with a separately sold bracket to allow them to be used safely with hard bags . " Our slip-ons are offered in show chrome or ceramic black and provide a magnificent look on these Big Beemers ," says Freedom Performance founder Martin Arteaga . There are three sizes for these slip-ons - 4 ", 4.5 ", and 2.5 ", and they are " made to fit our precisionmachined , interchangeable aluminum end caps to customize the rear of the BMW - including our straight or slash tips , all of which come in a variety of finishes , including sculpted black , chrome , pitch black , sculpted gold , and solid gold ." The BMW R18 Bagger / Transcontinental slip-ons eliminate the catalytic converter , resulting in heat reduction of 30-40 % as well as increased power and delivering a crisp throttle response . Described by Martin as giving off a " smooth throaty rumble ," quiet mufflers are also available as an option if desired .
Additional features include 12 mm ( about 0.47 ") and 18 mm ( about 0.71 ") ports and plugs , as well as the complete mounting hardware and brackets . One of the many benefits of the support bracket is that it raises and supports the hard bags to ensure space between the pipe and bags so that they do not hang low and potentially burn .
