    FCR Original R18 Bobber Sport

     

    Original FCR opted for a sporting atmosphere, transforming the elegant "First Edition" by increasing the muscle factor.

    Other modifications include adjusted aluminum mudguards and new handlebars, narrower and less remote than those of origin.

    FCR replaced the original controls with a brake and clutch master cylinder Crazy.

    Compact indicators come from their FCR catalog, installed on personalized supports. They are in 3-in-1 version at the rear, also used as rear lights / stop.

    FCR has developed a saddle kit with a more compact alcantara saddle in Bobber style, bringing the pilot closer to the handlebars and reducing visual congestion.

    The handlebars, levers and controls are lowered for a position more sporty. New bridges and a lower and narrower handlebar are installed.

    The lighthouse and the speed counter are also repositioned to create a more compact front.
