| Guilty Customs Takes on German Engineering! Posted: 29 Mar 2011 10:45 AM PDT Those that understand the process of building a custom motorcycle will definitely understand the trials and tribulations that face one when undertaking such endeavors. Mix that with a platform you have never worked on before (a 2004 BMW R1200CL), a model that has never been extensively modified before by any builder we know of! then throw in a few stupid-wild-crazy ideas (such as using an 11″ wide rear tire, stretching a drive shaft 4″ with offset of 2″ then raking the front end with 4″ off set trees, then putting a turbo in the mix), and you quickly get the idea of what faces us on this build. Bob was very busy with his calculator, pencil and scratch pad putting everything just right before cutting into this beast. With all calculations, fabrications underway and mockup in process the rake of this bike is now 37 degrees, the front wheels moved forward over 4″. With the drive shaft stretched 4″, the wheelbase has now gone from a stock 64″ to a nice long low 72″. Also, the ride height is now 5.5″ which is down from 8″ with a 4″ trail. And yes that is a 280.40.20 rear wheel and a 23″ front wheel! Long and low is how i like’m! You can check out the other pic’s of the bike build and/or follow us on Facebook HERE. The Garrett turbo just hit the shop thanks to Mike Beland at A1 Cycles who helped us out. Mike…thanks buddy! So, you think the germans have anything to worry about with this build?! Go ahead, share the news with friends & enjoy. Best thing you'll do all day!: Related Posts You May Also Like |
