We have never covered any International builds before on our website, but this particular build deserves a special mention. We are proud to present our first article on an international build in collaboration with All About Automobiles.
We truly believe there is nothing better than people around the world sharing and getting in touch with each other through common interests, hobbies, passions, and for that moment nationality, religion, caste everything is forgotten as we sink into deep conversations which connect us on a different level and wavelength.
This brings us to this amazing, one-of-a-kind build made by Mr. Jallal who lives in Morocco. Only through our passion for automobiles is how we got in touch with each other, and we would like to thank him for allowing us to cover his build.
We start with the heart of the build, the engine, and for a refreshing change, and, no it is not a Royal Enfield but a beautiful BMW r60/7.
Mr. Jallal started by tearing the entire body apart. The entire body is built over this engine, apart from the engine, nothing is stock, everything from the chassis to the seat to the fork is custom made.

Jallal has gone with the Girder fork front suspension, which complements the custom classic or to a large extent vintage look. The front brake has been sacrificed, while the rear drum brake has been retained. Jallal did mention that since his client had ordered this build to be placed in his house, as a showpiece to be admired, and to be looked at in awe during bike shows, the on-road stopping power was not a priority.
The handlebar was cleverly designed by combining 2 handlebars. The vintage-looking custom seat comes with one massive spring in the center, unlike the conventional twin spring setup. Also, it is amazing how a normal-looking tank once cut into 2 with 2 fuel inlets and the mix of talent from the creator, makes the final output look so drastically different. The divided seat design flows with the divided fuel tank and compliments beautifully.
The casing to house the battery is custom made covered with leather, the same leather that is used for the seat as well as the handle grips. A very unconventional slender rectangular headlight is placed in the front. While the rear gets the classic chopper-placed tail lamp. This tail lamp looks as if it has been picked up from an old car.
The color of choice is candy red and silver mixed with chrome, and the final output is nothing less than gorgeous.
