but this one caught my eye,
photographs Roughchild, the
bike is a rebuilt 1974 BMW R90, the
engine received a full rebuild, with the case blasted with glass media and then
cleaned in an ultrasonic tank, Nikasil cylinders were employed and house a set
of new 1000cc pistons, while the cylinder heads were totally rebuilt, given a
new valve train, and treated to a twin-plug conversion, the gearbox has also
been fully rebuilt, with a longer 5th gear for reduced RPM at cruising speeds,
featuring all of the best of the best, the
rear end features a set of Ohlins fully adjustable shocks, with blacked-out
progressive rate springs,
utilising
a custom set of triple clamps allows for the fitment of a set of USD Ohlins
forks, and finished in black, this allows for the fitment of radial-mounted callipers, and it doesn’t get
much better than a pair of Brembo monoblocks clamping a large set of discs,
the motorcycle is finished in Irish Green, to see more of this and other machines from the Roughchild stable have a look here, would I like it? you bet!
