BMW R nine T gets machined parts by Roland Sands Design
BMW R nine T family gained two new members last year.
BMW Motorrad has introduced finely customised machined parts for the R nine T family. Produced in high-quality aluminium, their extravagant design is mainly intended to lend expression to an individual passion for fine, premium-grade motorcycle technology.
Made by Roland Sands Design from California, these machined parts for BMW R nine T use a special manufacturing technique which ensures a surface quality with attractive contrasts between glossy black and aluminium. The parts are initially made from an aluminium forging blank using a CNC-controlled machine tool after which, they undergo elaborate hand-polishing. This is followed by an application of a black coating.
Selected areas are then milled once more so that the original distinctive aluminium surface becomes visible again. Available machined parts for the BMW R nine T include
- Cylinder head covers Machined
- Oil filler neck lid Machined
- Belt cover Machined
- Headlight cover Machined
- Handlebar end cover Machined
- Rear axle cover Machined
- Bevel gear bearing cover Machined
- Swinging-arm pivot mount cover Machined
The Original BMW Motorrad Accessories design program also offers some fine-quality customising parts that allow the members of the R nineT family to make their bike stand out from the crowd an aluminium fuel tank produced by hand in boutique manufacturing quality according to rigorous BMW quality standards.
