wow, that GSXR looks great!

R100/7 just came in this morning at 6.00.

Like this one: just a few modifications (fender, seat, muffler, ...) give a completely different look.

 

You can spend a lot of money turning a BMW /7 into a café racer. That large tank is almost worth its weight in gold. Several years ago, I found a 1978 R100S in a "barn" and was thinking about café-ing it. Decided to leave it stock. Much better expense/value ratio.



nice bike Mike...Larry

Very nice!    Airheads are very pleasant bikes to ride.

Oh, and Mike Simon, yours is very nice too!

Looks great, SGT. How does it run and ride?

I loved riding my buddies Beemer.  The thing I remember most is how "bottom heavy" it was, that feeling was new to me.  But it still got up and went!

Did´nt ride her yet. Will have to make her run and then have to go to the MOT.

Mounted the front fender correctly (180°) and cleaned her.

Did not yet manage to get that battary out  :( :(, Frame too narrow by a few mm. Maybe together with the battery case. Or thgrough the engine....

Looking for a set of side panels, ideal in black met.

Thank you sir!

Great choice! Love me some airhead action. My Ural has a boxer style motor....she has some grunt down low. Let us know how you like it once you take her for a spin.

 I did enjoy my R100 RT most of the time.
A really cool feature is the balanced center stands, take either wheel off, and it sets down on the other wheel.. no blocking or dicking around..
