the team at JSK custom design created a modifying scrambler from a BMW ‘r nineT’ and dubbed it the ‘chocolate slider’. the heavy alterations maintain classic themes while still making a widely fun motorcycle capable of handling streets and dirt roads. to deal with rocks, mud and water, the team relocated the exhaust up over the valve covers. this resulted in pipes being very close to the riders legs, which they solved with thermo wrapping made from carbon fiber the heat shield from the high temperatures.

the engine oil cooler is was also moved up to the from where the headlights are to further avoid damaging natural elements. to round off the package, dual sport tires were fitted for better on and off road grip and performance. a custom aluminum gas tank and tail fairing were handcrafted to keep the weight down for better mobility. more a cleaner look the gas tank hides the electronic and mechanical vitals and provides supplementary protection. the handlebar is changed into a carbon fiber BMX style v-bar to help reduce fatigue and is know for improving cornering leverage when going fast on dirt roads. the southern california custom shop dedicated themselves in creating the ’chocolate slider’ to be a modern street and dirt rider from a classic BMW.
