Quite like this!

Could find space for one like this

I saw something similar this morning, in green rather than red though.

So could I, but who could build such a bike?

My airhead project is too far underway to change plans now ,so it will have to be the next one

No good then, there a 2 stroke

I like that a lot, the only thing I may change is that heavy looking front tyre. Probably one of the nicest BMW scramblers I've seen.

More of a a flat tracker look

K70s - are they the new TKCs?

Like the basic styling but looks a bit unfinished to me. Don't really get scramblers, seems to be a bit hipster with no real purpose in life, but the parts seem to have been put together with some thought.

Good lines, but I don't like the redundant airbox. It's got huge holes for the pipes but silly air filters bunged on the sides.

Agreed!
Fuel do have some really nice ideas but always seem to be poorly finished off,a lot off the custom builders fit mikuni carbs for some reason,and then don't solve the problem you mention above.
My bugbear is the coils,why leave them there
There is prob room under the tank for a twin output Dyna or dynatech mini.
Would clean up the lines no end

It's not a scrambler,it's a flat tracker

Fair do's but same applies re form over function.

V.true but for a simple nice looking machine for posing and going to bike nights and such I feel sure it will function just fine

Hmmm, There is quite a nice form there…

I was playing with my Triumph Trackmaster tank on a BMW ST frame, and there's definitely a nice look when there's a a gap above the starter cover. The rear wheels on proper flattrackers are 19" with a full profile fat (125 ish x 19) tyre and this would help get the right 'tall with big wheels' stance without a daft swing arm/gearbox angle too.

Maxxis do readily availible FT 19" tyres in the UK but the fork yoke width (i.e spindle length) has to be pretty wide to fit the front one in.

I do like the look of the huge air filters on period XR750 harleys and big brit twins, but agree that the airbox must go if such things are being used, or a huge central K&N a bit like Ritchie Moore's reset thing may look OK.

Dunlop list the proper flat track tires on their Oz site, so the authentic look is still available.
The big filters are foam on most old pics of genuine flat trackers.
I think there are faux air boxes around which would take a small LI battery and probably a small twin output coil too, which would clean up a couple of areas.
A back mudguard, tail light and indicators would probably be mandatory in most countries if anyone actually intends riding it on the road, and earplugs and asbestos underpants would probably be nice too.
Inlet stubs a couple of inches longer would probably match the long exhausts better, but as there doesn't seem yo be any connection between the petrol tank and the carbs any improvement would be marginal at the best!

Someone mention flat tracker HD? how about something like this ?

Yup, The foam ones are very forgiving for misplaced knees/feet/ankles/thighs too, simply deforming rather than dislocating off the stubs like (from experience) th emore rigid S&B / K&N types can.
