Bell & Ross watches and the UK's leading Harley-Davidson customizer have teamed up on a bespoke superbike inspired by Bell & Ross' beautiful timepieces. The Nascafe Racer modified by Shaw Harley-Davidson applies Bell & Ross' principles of impeccable performance, precision and engineering. The way that the master watchmakers develop and assemble their timepieces was reflected by the Shaw Harley-Davidson master technicians when building the bike, which is based on the "long, low and naked" Harley-Davidson FXSTB Softail Nightrain.

To begin with the motorcycle was totally stripped down to every last nut and bolt. The Shaw Speed and Custom team then mounted a Bell & Ross BR 01 Carbon timepiece in a handcrafted center console using a machined section of aluminum. A combination of anodized blue, carbon and stealth-like matte black custom paint was then used on the bike to reflect the watch's design, along with Bell & Ross logo detailing. The compelling creation was unveiled at the London International Custom Bike Show.
