Project Café Racer 2: Complete

So, its done and I'm thrilled with the look. The paintjob pays tribute to the awesome racing era when JPS F1 cars were some of the most stunning looking out on the F1 circuit! Enjoy the various views!

You will notice that the exhaust looks different when compared to the earlier progress reports. Well, once I got all the parts back and could run the bike, I still found it too loud. So, Jaco (Stealth Performance Parts) fitted a small silencer box and then opted for a single outlet. It still looks like a brutal racing exhaust and sounds great, without destroying my eardrums.

Once again this build relied on a lot of help with logistics and local craftsmen. If you're inspired to build you own, you might want to reach out to these guys:

• Paint design: Kevin Mare / Brand Launch Solutions

• Paintwork: Ashley / Paintrikz

• Exhaust: Jaco / Stealth Performance Parts (the sound is not stealthy!)

• Custom parts Option 719: any BMW Motorrad dealer

• Custom indicators: Max-Inc Krugersdorp (or online)

• Professional support: BMW Motorrad Fourways (or your local BMW Motorrad dealer)

Finally, my thanks for all the help to: Deon, Werner, Kevin, Jacques, Riaan, Jenna and Rodney.
