FlatRacer Mancha Branca
Our FlatRacer Mancha Branca BMW Cafe Racer started with a challenge from Clymer Manuals to produce a unique bodywork for their CCR project that was unfortunately shelved when Haynes took over.
This was the perfect opportunity for us to start our long ambition plan to develop a full fairing kit for the BMW R2v Series. We are great admirers of the original Cafe Racer look and British short circuit racers from the 60s but very seldom we see this kind of Cafe Racer transformation.
After nearly 5 years of slow development, it is here. The Flowliner full fairing offers superior aerodynamic advantages contributing for higher speeds, lower fuel consumption and enhanced rider's comfort..
To complement the look, we've developed a short tail kit (FlatRacer Daytona tail) so the bike's design would flow and the stance would be spot on.
As per our mission statement, the bike was to be modified without altering irreversibly its frame or other main ancillaries. Certainly a formidable task but we've allied our frame dictate with practicality by developing new stainless steel mudguards, fitted at the rear with our alloy L679 tail light.
Our Mancha Branca would serve as development mule for many other parts that we intend to incorporate in our catalogue of parts. These include our new FlatRacer Flowliner full fairing kit, FlatRacer/Tarozzi rear sets, FlatRacer 4.5" & 5.75" s/s mudguards, s/s battery tray kit, FlatRacer alloy triple clamp and many other parts for the Monolever and twin shock series.
As extra fun, we've decided to use parts from varied sources and models, confirming thus the interchangeability of components between different BMW R2v Airhead Series, from the 1969 /5 to the later 1995 Paralever, by using some ingenuity.
Our Mancha Branca features a 1990 BMW Monolever frame and a 1972 R60/5 engine bored to 800cc. The gearbox is post 81 (lighter flywheel), rear wheel from a GS mated to a 18" rim and the front wheel from a Paralever just to mention some of the most noticeable parts.
