Custom Bikes Of The Week: 9 September, 2018
A lesson in laying (exhaust) pipe from Taiwan, a BMW K100 called ?Fifty Shades of Grey?, and a GSX-R750 hiding a little secret under its bodywork. We’re bringin’ sexy back this week.
BMW K100 cafe racer by Deep Creek Cycleworks What if you really dig the lines and shapes created by the R nine T Racer, but find its protruding pistons to be a bit of an eyesore" Well, you call up the experts at Belgium?s Deep Creek Cycleworks and commission something like this: a K100-powered Racer, dubbed ‘Fifty Shades of Grey.’
‘Bikes Are Made to Ride’ is the mantra of Kris Reniers and his DCC crew. So when a Bavarian brick found its way onto their bench, they decided to make it really fly. The original bodywork was axed and a new, hooped subframe was tacked into place.
Then it was surmised that the stock tank would line up extremely well with the fairing Ola Stenegärd penned for the R nineT Racer, so modifications were made and mounts were crafted. Sure enough, things look spot on.
In the rear, a new humped tail was created to perfectly match the lines on the subframe and although it sits a touch low for aesthetic perfection, it was crafted this way to enhance ergonomics for an easier tuck. Which the DCC boys decided to evaluate at this year?s Glemseck races, decreeing that Fifty Shades of Grey was an absolute blast. [More]
