Visual Appeal with Purpose

Ilmberger offers stunning carbon body trimp replacements that save weight without compromising strength. So why did we put all that carbon fiber on an adventure bike? Admittedly, looks were a big driver but carbon fiber is a high performance upgrade, offering improved ruggedness with up to 70% weight savings per part.

Ilmberger Carbon Parts offers high quality 100% carbon fiber replacement parts for most of the original fairing and trim pieces. They use a unique clear plastic coating, giving the carbon structure outstanding visual depth that is TUV-certified for its resistance to scratching and UV damage. Not all carbon parts are created equal—Ilmberger uses the same materials and manufacturing process used for Moto GP racing parts. Their products are worth every penny.

Summary

The devil is in the details—we rounded out the final design of our project bike with several visual and functional enhancements that completed our aggressive design concept. The custom paint scheme highlights the lines of the bike and celebrates the BMW racing heritage. Micro-sized Rizoma turn indicators were added for their ability to tuck in tightly, eliminating the vulnerability of the OEM stalks.

For auxiliary lighting, the Rigid Industries Specter driving lights with Black Dog Cycle Works fork mounts beam an astonishing 3,000+ lumens and are less vulnerable to damage than typical side-mounted auxiliary lights. Finally, we installed the Remus Titanium HexaCone full exhaust system to add a boost in performance and give this wolf one menacing growl.
