Customize your BMW!

I went to a local custom bike show last week, a lot of very fashionable, very now kinda stuff, but there was something worth the price of admission; the highlight was seeing Uncle Fester, under his sobriquet of "Mistic Motors", presenting his BMW specials. Knowing what it takes to make even just one of these, I think it's impressive that he brought along FOUR of them.

He has now developed a fully reversible kit to suit 1980s and later bikes from the R series (though he can adapt parts to suit other years and models) and the result is a very high quality set of parts that fit with precise alignment and finish. Overall, the result is a superbly hand-crafted bike that stands above the rest of the many, many sloppily executed BMWs seen around these days.

If you have a BMW and are thinking of customizing it, I strongly recommend you give him a call:

He made a couple of compact roadsters and two scramblers, one based on an R100GS with Paralever rear suspension, the other on a rare and very versatile R80ST, definitely my favorite out of the lot.

Notice the vintage Rolex Submariner with yellowed tritium indices. Nice.

Honorable mention to this Ducati, that managed to make me think "hey, nice bike" for just a second.

But of course the real winner was Witold, who has gone completely bonkers and showed up on his Honda Spazio kitted out with LED lighting under the fuselage. This thing is bright. Well done man.
