Another sweet machine. Love the attention to detail and build quality

[@RoughchildMoto]

Thank you very much!

[@classicmusclecarexhaust1988]

I was forever under the opinion that Airheads never looked good modified or customized...until I found this channel. These Airheads are incredible. Robert, you have the touch when it comes to these bikes, as they are as close to perfect as one can get. Well done!

[@RoughchildMoto]

My man! I agree with you, I dislike customs that set out to deliberately look “custom”. Does that make sense? I love the originals, I’m a purist at heart and every modification is done sympathetically to improve performance whilst always trying to pay homage to the originals.

[@loris199]

Nicy done, but needs a poper rear mudguard to look harmonic

[@RoughchildMoto]

Thanks but… err… it has a lot of rear mudguard

[@lenbremoit3906]

Wonderful attention to detail and execution of your vision. To think a 50 year old m/c can archive this sort of performance says something about the lasting appeal and continuing aftermarket product development of the 247. Aesthetics and design considerations are always subjective and unique to the builder and end user. Seeing more of the process and build in the presentations would be a nice addition to this video series. Keep up the good work---Cheers!

[@RoughchildMoto]

Cheers! Thanks for following along and paying attention. 247 24/7

[@dennisgreene5055]

love the Wixom bags! Had em on my 73SWB and 77/100S. Airheads forever!!!!

[@RoughchildMoto]

I fell in love with the wixoms all over again with this build

[@fauveride]

Wish my R18 looked like that, damn!

[@RoughchildMoto]

Ah it’s under there somewhere

[@mysticmusic6045]

this is a really nice resto-mod.

[@themancaveclub]

Fantastic job!

[@RoughchildMoto]

Thank you very much!

[@dennisgreene5055]

love the mirrors! they are so cool when they're not intrusive to the look! s

[@DispatchMoto]

Just stumbled across this channel, love what you're doing here!

[@RoughchildMoto]

Thanks. Stick around

[@Keith-rk4td]

Wisper Pipes are the S. IT!!! Great job Mate!! Do you get the evil(speed wobble)?My R80/7 did. A braced swing arrm fixed that problem. My Man is a bit cheeky.🤨🤭😁

[@RoughchildMoto]

Hi Keither, we’ve done away with the speed wobble. Bracing in the frame, bracing on the forks and 21st century suspension on the front and back all help keep it planted. This one’s got 18” wheels front and back, 17s can feel a bit lively but have their merits

[@andrewd7586]

A beautiful job!👏🏼👍🏼😎🇦🇺

[@RoughchildMoto]

G’day mate
