We know Kingston Custom for their amazing ability to add sizzling hot character to old bikes with subtle changes and refined custom work. Here's their take on the BMW R75/6, a bike which blends in the classic brat and bobber styling.
For starters, the engine was tore down completely and rebuilt to perfect running order, then blasted with glass beads for an impeccable matte finish which makes a wonderful contrast with the dark red paint job. The rear hub, hand controls and a strip in the middle of the rims got the same treatment for a consistent look.
The seat was remade with genuine leather with diamond stitching and is rests above real Sachs Hydro Cross dual shock absorbers. The rear fender is in fact the front one, relocated and looking as cool as it gets.
The small and slender tank comes from a small-displacement Yamaha, and its low profile matches the lowered fork for a solid brat racer look, while the megaphone exhausts with reverse cones evoke the Norton machines.
We totally dig the uncluttered look and the fact that Dirk Oehlerking, the man behind Kingston Customs went for the ultra-modern Tarozzi aluminium rearsets which are a surprising match for the whole build.
Not exactly suprised to see this awesome machine nominated for the Bike of the Year award at Wind-Blown...
