A jawdropping modified Ducati 1000SS, a very clever custom BMW R1100GS, a rare (and running) BMW R57 that could sell for $70,000, and a wild, multicolored Buell Thunderbolt built for the Greasy Dozen show.

BMW R1100GS by North East Custom Even though it’s not as complicated as a current-day GS, the 1990s model is notoriously hard to customize. Its Telelever front wishbone suspension is one stumbling block, and it’s also built to fit together in only one way. So on most R1100GS customs, either the front end or tail end (or both) usually looks out of whack.

The Italian brothers at North East Custom seem to have cracked the code with this one though. It’s a subtle custom that doesn’t scream for attention?and there’s not a single thing that looks out of place, either.
North East ditched all the bodywork, except for the tank. The rear end features a custom subframe with a new perch, and a hand-made fender with an 80s enduro tail light. Up front, the brothers fitted a classic BMW boxer headlight, sitting on custom-made brackets.

Finishing kit includes one-off perforated tank side panels, a Leo Vince muffler and Continental TKC80 tires. Capped off with a neat little front fender and a slick blue and white paint job, it’s a great look for the 90s GS. [North East Custom]
