I was forever under the opinion that Airheads never looked good modified or customized...until I found this channel. These Airheads are incredible. Robert, you have the touch when it comes to these bikes, as they are as close to perfect as one can get. Well done!

My man! I agree with you, I dislike customs that set out to deliberately look “custom”. Does that make sense? I love the originals, I’m a purist at heart and every modification is done sympathetically to improve performance whilst always trying to pay homage to the originals.
Another sweet machine. Love the attention to detail and build quality

Nicy done, but needs a poper rear mudguard to look harmonic

Thanks but… err… it has a lot of rear mudguard
Wonderful attention to detail and execution of your vision. To think a 50 year old m/c can archive this sort of performance says something about the lasting appeal and continuing aftermarket product development of the 247. Aesthetics and design considerations are always subjective and unique to the builder and end user. Seeing more of the process and build in the presentations would be a nice addition to this video series. Keep up the good work---Cheers!

Wisper Pipes are the S. IT!!! Great job Mate!! Do you get the evil(speed wobble)?My R80/7 did. A braced swing arrm fixed that problem. My Man is a bit cheeky.🤨🤭😁

Hi Keither, we’ve done away with the speed wobble. Bracing in the frame, bracing on the forks and 21st century suspension on the front and back all help keep it planted. This one’s got 18” wheels front and back, 17s can feel a bit lively but have their merits
Wish my R18 looked like that, damn!
