Nice build, but as a matter of interest why no air filters? A stone flicked up from the road and sucked into the front cylinder would mean very costly damage to the motor.

Air filters are for wimps
a cafe racer will chew the stone and spit it out with contempt

Good to hear you are running filters, see plenty of bikes without them in magazines, and always wonder whether they are actually ever ridden or not?

If the guy can get £4700 for a BMW "scrambler" fitted with very nice parts such as Bantam fuel tank, he either has to be a very good salesman, or lucky enough to find a pretty gullible buyer"

Lol..................the BM looks like something an 18 yr old would build in dads garden shed. Be a deathtrap to ride, so I guess its intended as an ornament or show bike (lol) of some sort?

I actually had trouble figuring out what the guy who built the beemer was thinking, and even more trouble figuring out why...

I would like to hear the XBR running with that "silencer"
Think the BMW had the decimal place wrong in the price, should be £475.00

This is a real cafe racer.
Did you put your beard on the wrong way round this morning?

Hipster types are wanting some very curious bikes currently. Lots of original machines are being ruined in order to put together things like the Ebay abortion, which I would guess has every chance of making the asking price (sadly!). Why the ***** cant stick to spraying everything matt black, fitting MX bars, and removing mudguards and silencers I dont know........maybe the Bantam tank will actually catch on though...............lol

I had a CB550 semi-chop that ran open bellmouths with no filters, it was forever trying to suck flapping trouser legs into the outer carbs
