Roland Sands BMW 9T Cafe Tracker

From Roland Sands (regarding Danny): “We built the bike for a friend here locally that’s a big BMW fan. He’s got quite a few unique cars and bikes and this was one he wanted for a display in one of his stores. He was really into the board track direction so we blended that idea with a bit of café race flavor to come up with something in between. A Café Tracker maybe. This bike was a close cousin of the Indian we did a while back that had a similar shaped gas tank. But with the BMW we wanted to keep all the suspension modern and fully functional where the Indian was a rigid with a girder fork. This obviously helps with the way the bike rides, but with the stretched out neck it steers a little heavier than the stock bike. It’s still manageable and fun to ride though and with the narrow 120 x 21” Dunlop tires it still steers pretty quick.”
