BMW R18 conversion by Hornig

SC-Project STR-1 for Trident 660

German BMW accessory specialist Hornig clearly admires the 1,802 cc two-cylinder 91 hp ' Big Boxer ', but far from letting that stop it wanting to improve it , the company has been inspired - seeing the R18 as a customiser ' s canvas on which to draw a new picture . Starting with the reupholstered seat , Hornig has created additional levels of comfort , ergonomics and handling . A special edition , model-specific sissy bar with redesigned backrest adds to passenger comfort and security . A tinted touring screen reduces the wind pressure on the driver and a rear end kit raises the tail for a " more dynamic sitting and riding height by raising the rear 15 mm ; the bike ' s wheelbase is shortened to achieve agile and sportier handling ". To protect the engine , Hornig has mounted 38 mm black , custom-look crash bars , removable non-slip rubber footpads for a relaxed riding posture - a special aluminium cooler grid is available in silver or black . Black , lockable leather saddlebags have a modelspecific support and 17 litre capacity ( each ); a modelspecific suckers or magnets attached tank bag gives another 10-15 litre capacity . Aluminium accessories include a T45 Tork key protected custom oil filler plug ; a canter cap top yoke with emblem ; adjustable stainless steel licence plate bracket ; a RAM GPS support in combination with a clamp and a RAM plate mean many different navigation devices can be mounted . A Remus CUSTOM V2 exhaust " offers an impressive sound and a great power delivery " and detailing finishing touches include hand-drawn pinstripes on the front mudguard to reflect the rear mudguard and tank details .

This is said to add 1.2 hp and 1.0 Nm of torque at 8,000 rpm - with a resulting improvement in throttle response and riding experience throughout the engine range . SC-Project says that no ECU remapping is required . A black option is available with a finish created by using a special , high temperature resistant ceramic paint process ; the carbon fibre heatshield is autoclave manufactured to offer a unique style that harmonises with the motorcycle ' s design .
