BMW R65 Scrambler by Meat and Grease

About a year ago I’ve stumbled upon a custom motorcycle from Meat and Grease. A small workshop in Belgium owned by two IT guys who needed some time off the desk. So they’ve decided to start building motorcycles next to their day jobs. In september I’ve featured one of their first bikes, based on a BMW R65RT. A pretty cool bike for starting bike brewers. But they thought is was time to improve their work and grabbed another R65RT and turned it into this R65 Scrambler.

You can find a list of modifications below the images.

Marcin & Marcin from Ratbikes did an awesome job on this Honda CB350 Café Racer, so we kept a close eye on them. They took this BMW R65 LS a part and turned it into a great custom ride. It’s hard to recognize the original ride in this one, and we see a lot of Indian and Harley-like design. The list of mods is thorough:

front suspension Springer WLA modified shortened and strictured
frame modified (70%)
engine lifted
modified differential
modified gearbox
Mikuni VM38 carbs
R60/6 wheel
Honda CB50 fuel tank
R71 brake and clutch levers
Avon Speedmaster MXII tires
Brooks seat
Motogadget speedo
Lithium battery
And al lot of new parts

BMW R65RT Scrambler by Meat and Grease

With a daily job sitting behind a desk in the IT-business you can create a lot of cool stuff. But still: it’s behind a desk… These Belgian bike brewers wanted to do something more than just clicking their mice and ticking on their keyboards. So it all started with a passion for 2 M’s: Meat and Motorcycles. So to get more “greasy” they decided to start building custom motorcycles. Meat and Grease was born. So when building motorcycles, you can expect that they flame up their grill to enjoy some meat after a day in their workshop.

Their first build is this cool BMW scrambler, based on a R65RT. Mods:

Sandblasted & powdercoated frame
Sandblasted & powdercoated wheels
Sandblasted & painted gas tank
Biltwell Grips
Wrapped exhausts
Fresh fluids all over the bike
New rear shock
New subframe
Custom seat
Custom lights & indicators
New Heidenau tires

And most important: no sign of a CPU inside!

Here you can see where they came from:

Looking forward to see more of them!
