This 1977 example has been re-engineered with 21st-century technology by Roughchild Motorcycles in Los Angeles, California. The bike was fully disassembled, rebuilt to exacting standards, and upgraded from the frame up for enhanced safety and performance. Professional restoration and thoughtful mechanical upgrades ensure a unique riding experience. Key upgrades include an LED headlight, zinc-plated hardware, SunRims aluminum rims with stainless steel spokes, Brembo brakes, Ohlins shocks, a Cone Engineering full stainless steel exhaust system, and more. Having been driven approximately 613 miles since its restoration.</p><p>Constructed on the R100RS, the restoration emphasizes the bike's classic café racer style. The frame was repaired, braced, and factory tabs removed before receiving a gloss black powder coat. The gas tank, front fender, and headlight bucket were refinished in Tunda Green Glasurit paint, adorned with hand-painted pinstripes and BMW roundels. A custom subframe with a flush-mounted brake light and turn signals was added along with a /5 headlight bucket and LED fixture. A new Motometer speedometer incorporates a tach and indicator lights, while the hand controls are new OEM units, modified for the custom wiring harness. All original hardware was zinc-plated. It rides on 18” SunRims aluminum rims with stainless steel spokes, wrapped in Bridgestone Spitfire tires e heads feature valve seals and an electronic ignition system powers a single dual coil mounted under the tank. Jetted and tuned Mikuni carburetors enhance performance, and the factory airbox was drilled in the style of a 1977 R100RS. A lightweight high-torque starter complements the lithium battery, which is safely housed under the gas tank. Additionally, the factory charging system has been upgraded to a modern unit. Up front, Showa USD forks are mounted via a custom triple tree, while the rear suspension is handled by Öhlins shocks with external reservoirs. A full stainless exhaust system by Cone Engineering.</p><p><br></p>Hollywood Royalty Loves Robert Sabel’s Vintage ‘Airhead’ BMW Customs<p><br></p><p>https://www.forbes.com/sites/billroberson/2024/07/30/hollywood-royalty-loves-robert-sabels-vintage-airhead-bmw-customs/</p>
