Some of the best custom BMW's in the world come from the Japanese custom house Ritmo Serano

Team Incomplete's glorious Cafe Racer.

Team Incomplete's bike is without a doubt the best version of a BMW Cafe Racer I've seen produced in the USA.

Re: Pictures of BMW's we love...

I don't know much about this bike, had the pictures kicking around a while, and love the way it looks.

Re: Pictures of BMW's we love...

A very handsome R90S cafe racer, again I don't know anything about this one, just had the images in my files for a while.

The top pic, the black bike

The top pic, the black bike with the checkerboard stripe - that's a very good looking plate atop the engine to replace the airbox/starter cover. The nicest looking one I've seen. Does anyone know who makes this or where to buy one?

wow, I have a 75 R90/6. Did they do something different with the drive shaft, etc.. to fit the big tires?

On the dual shock bikes,

On the dual shock bikes, there's an internal wheel spacer that can be inserted to move the wheel to the left to help clear the driveshaft tube. However, it also moves it enough so that the brake shoes don't get full contact. The movement is only about 1-2mm but still...

Your R90S

Did you make the triple clamp or by it? Also, what rear sets are those? You did an absolute beautiful job!

schrader7032, those images

schrader7032, those images don't belong to one person, or site, I found them all over the web, and if you look most of them don't feature on the site you mention, and the one that do are shown in far lower resolution that we have here.

I love this paint job. Might paint my /6 like this. Anyone know what the headlamp with the built in cluster is from or is that a cafe custom job?

Hi!
The headlamp is a modified /7 series headlamp.

Cover

Hi!

The cover shown in the pic is a "1 of two" we built.
However a guy here in germany sells similar covers.
You could try to contact him via german BMW forum.

BMWs we love

Interesting looking at these bikes - I am torn between liking the concepts Smile and crying because an original bike has been demolished. Sad

Can we get a gentlemens agreement going. When a modified bike is posted it's accompanied by the statement "no original bikes were harmed during the making of this motorcycle". Although we know it's not true it might make me feel better. Smile

Some sexy bikes though...

Believe me, when I bought my bike it wasn't a bike at all. Far from being original.

I appreciate the R90S forum

I appreciate the R90S forum being added to this site. After viewing these beautiful and exotic R90S', I couldn't help sharing my version that I built many years ago. I was more influenced by the B&S Superbike effort, and then the San Jose racer. Most of my mods were for handling with the power mods being limited to exhaust, dual plugs, & head work. It was stock for a few years while I did several cross country trips, then I started messing with it. I honestly can't say that it was a "better" bike, 'cause man, I loved that bike stock.
One of the best I ever owned.
