BMW R80 Cafe Racer Brat

The rear-frame had to be shortened by 20 cm and had to be 2 cm slimmer in order to achieve a more homogenous shape. The sub-construction of the seat was made of light fibre. The front and the rear fenders for the R 80 were also made of extremely light-weight Fibre. The tank was raised by a few millimetres towards the seat in order „to adapt the line“. For the colour we chose red with a metallic finish. Rims and various smaller parts were powder-coated in black. The cockpit was reduced in size and was equipped with an old-school analogue speedometer and a carbon mounting plate. The original mufflers were replaced by lighter and shorter models.

The seat was covered with elegant suede and framed with a red quilting seam. Altogether we created a rough fun-bike. The handling should be a lot more convenient due to the reduced weight, the adjusted seat position and the larger handle-bar.
