New project ..... Bought an unfinished project originally a bmw 1994 R100R mystic that’s been butchered and mocked up into cafe racer .. I ditched most of it ..some people should never be allowed any were near an angle grinder ....it might of looked ok from the first picture but all loom ends yup include bar switches where just cut off..frame lugs hacked off ...original bmw controls binned triumph fitted why? I’ve sourced a new loom and controls ..headlight rev counter dash and much more ..
Good points only 11k from new ..stored 14 years ..dual plugged heads ..Dyna coils..recent new stainless spoked original alloy wheels and new tyres ..tank painted vw grey white metallic one of my favourite new colours ..that’s about it ..
But I’m turning this one into a gs pd style off road bike ...So over the last couple of months I’ve been collecting together the pieces I need from Ireland Germany and further afield...I always liked the gs style high up stainless exhaust ..one of the items I’ve managed including new old stock single seat and new gs bars ..I’m doing all the trial fits now as I’ve fitted a gs rear frame and will cut and beef up main frame as the Paris Dakar ones are done ..loving this one and the two pics are what I am aiming for without the large tank ..I like the cobalt blue frame ..sending off the cylinder heads for work done by cray engineering they are the gurus on these ..fork legs rusted so complete rebuild on those inc progressive springs new internals ..keeping the r forks and not fitting the gs as dual discs more road biased same on rear as gs uses longer rear shock the r uses shorter better for the paralever flatter angle Drive shafts last longer ..
Once mock up done I will take engine out and do the jobs on that..and frame can be worked on easily on the bench it will be braced in various places ..common mod..some of you enjoyed my last project I think this is going to be my favourite out of the three..
