BMW hasn’t shied away from one opportunity to exhibit the R 18 cruiser’s custom potential. The firm already presented top-tier projects hailing from Japan, Italy, and Canada. Now, it’s time for Poland to take a crack, and the talented builders are eager to show that custom cruisers aren’t a patently American art form.
There’s no denying it, cruiser riders dig the color black. However, BMW ZK Motors wanted to put a modern twist on the all-black aesthetic with black chrome. The Kielce-based garage applied the unique treatment to the headlight ring, speedometer frame, engine housing cover, handlebars, cylinder head covers, pushrod tubes, intake manifold trims, intake grille, air filter cover, handlebar clamps, fuel cap, and rear-view mirrors. Fittingly named the Black Jack, the custom breathes new life into a classic cruiser look.
