The best custom motorcycles are never truly 'finished' — Pier City Custom's BMW R nineT is a perfect example. Pipeburn features the build, which has continued to evolve, absorbing new ideas and lessons from its builder ever since it was first introduced as a black flat tracker back in 2017.

'A custom is never finished' — I nod deeply at that line. Pier City's R nineT has kept changing shape from a 2017 flat tracker, growing alongside the builder. Tinkering with one bike relentlessly, never getting bored, always evolving — that's exactly a builder's way of life. This is a bike whose real depth, the accumulation in the shop, you can't grasp on paper alone.

R nineT-based customs are a fiercely contested arena, with builders all over the world taking a crack at it.

'Never truly finished' sounds nice, but it could just as easily mean the direction was never settled.

A project that's been running since 2017 is already at the level of long-term maturation.

I love the idea of a custom that's never finished — you can feel the builder's passion in it.
