Clear

The bike started as a 79 BMW R100RS frame and then converted with a late 80's rear mono shock suspension with all new or rebuilt parts. Frame has been stripped and de-tabbed and is currently in acid etch primer. Custom tig welded rear seat mount and rear set mounts. The rear swing arm, driveline and wheel are from an 88 BMWR100. The front suspension is from an 08 Suzuki GSXR 1000. Forks have been completely rebuilt with new seals and internals. Fork tubes were stripped and powder coated satin clear. Custom 12mm spacers were made to mate the stock GSXR suspension to the stock BMW wheel with new 99 Honda CBR 900RR front rotors. All-Balls conversion bearings were used both in the neck and wheels hubs to make the conversion correct. Rear swing arm has new pivot bearings and drive shaft. Rear sets are,Tarozzi, and are fully adjustable. Most of the hard work has been done and really just needs a motor and electric. All controls are included as shown and both front and rear brakes work. Steering damper is also included. Gas tank is from the original R100RS and has been stripped inside but still needs etching and tank sealer. It does not leak. Last few photos show a mocked up seat option which was planned but never completed (included). No motor is included.Bike comes as shown and includes clear title. My reserve is much lower than what I have invested in parts alone so good luck with the bidding. If you have questions, please ask. 269-266-2171
