Anytime we can talk motorcycles with William Plam, its a good thing. Just a few weeks ago we went off the page (just a bit) to look at the development of the R35. This week, a similar diversion but one we think you’ll enjoy— a deep dive into vintage German 2 strokes.

On the program this week, part one of our chat with Matt Cooper from R90X. If you are not familiar, R90X offers a full line of front brake upgrades for your airhead 247 and is a proud independent product developer, which we love to feature here on the program. This was a long, in depth convo with Matt so we’ve split the interview up into two parts—first up is Matt’s origin story, so to speak, we’ll dig into a bike he’s had—seemingly forever and we’ll cover some general airhead brake talk—all in this episode. Part 2, which will air in a few weeks, will cover R90X product offerings and what the home mechanic can expect when doing a front rotor/disc conversion.
