Custom 1979 BMW R45 Motorcycle

This extremely good looking 1979 BMW R45 custom motorcycle was create in its maker’s spare time. Judging by its simple yet beautiful aesthetics, you would think some expert tuners were behind this project. However, it was only Louis Nel (a motorcycle enthusiast from South Africa) who turned the vintage bike in an updated stunner.

Nel kept many of the original parts and then added a few elements of his own choice. He shortened the sub frame, added a cool PIAA headlight, SuperTrapp mufflers, Kenda trail tires and a Motogadget Mini speedometer. We are also very impressed by the brown leather seat which the amateur tuner manufactured himself with great skill!
