Motorrads 4 Dads

I have long been intrigued by the look of a stripped down K-Series custom build. I’m actually a “twin-guy” but that beautiful and unique...

This is my third RnineT Racer. With the last two, I was inspired by racing themes of bygone eras, with the Gulf and JPS inspired livery....

For this Custom Build I went back to my original R18. I wanted the more classic stretched out cruiser look, with the possibility of...

Building Maverick (see the previous posts) was so much fun and I liked some of the other work I saw at Stoos Customs (based in Cape...

I was not happy with the rear mudguard of Maverick, as it did not hug the wheel nicely. And being made of fibreglass the curve was not...

As described in my previous post, the paint design was intended to reflect aircraft of an earlier era. This meant that it had to be done...

After a lot of painstaking detail work, Maverick is complete! The electrics, again, proved a challenge as the aftermarket indicators...

In the interim I decided to make some small changes to the rear of my R18. This included removing the large number plate holder and...

With this job we decided to stick to a full off-road restoration, but back to the original look. All parts needing renewal were replaced....

This is the bike I will be keeping. I like the unique "Rallye look" and having installed new parts on all wear parts, it feels and looks...

So the bikes are eventually complete. I'll start with the one I wanted restored to full original condition - this took a huge amount of...

For the exhaust I decided to try another local custom exhaust manufacturer, this time Stealth Performance Parts in Centurion, run by...

I thought I'd share some progress with you, as the build is looking really good. The frame has been painted black and put back together....

The G450X Restoration project is coming along great. Here you see all three in various stages of completion. The first has been...
