How did you get them so shiny?charlie99 wrote:whilst in there, did some pipes off old gerty , I had got some earlier that I swapped over when I did the head a couple of years ago now , but gerty's cleaned up just fine , just lots of time and noise

after
these will probably go on the old motor ...unless I can figure out a way to make them all more equal and perhaps a collector ? huh ? grin !

Charlie, I think you're just trying to show us all up mate.
Mine just gets a hose down every now and then and a spray of carnauba wax over the plastics maybe once or twice a year.

trying a little electrolysis on the frame
cant fit the whole thing in to anything but bit by bit ...lets see
haven't got a big enough power supply for the current draw , so current limiting the little supply with a couple of globes in series , voltage should rise as the sacrificial anode clags up with crud

so it all rolls on
rush job up north so the fame I put back in the toxic mix on Sunday , got pulled out again on Monday lunch time
it didn't look too bad at that time , but was concerned that leaving it uncovered for almost a week or so would take its toll
and it did
I cant tell you how disappointed I was
oh well nothing for it ....but to grind it all back and go again on this section
quite a few hours later
I have coated the some of the tricky to get at areas with rust converter , just to stabilize it
and have worked that crack in the bridge section back into place
ill tape over the crack , ready for welding later , when I can get it done
now for some primer this time eh?

yeah its going to be hard to blend the red into something of a colour scheme dai ..given that typical bmw colour schemes are ...erm pretty passive in the era
I have a few ideas
with fairing mods as well ...
It perhaps may look a strange beast when finished

hi Guy
yeah still lots of things to try and get
perhaps funkity has a couple of bits that would be useful
inner fairing part plastic the one below is for the left side as a sample .... I need a right hand side one
and maybe a screen for the rs fairing (getting pretty ambitious I know ) ...without broken plastic mount parts
mine has 5 out of 6 cracked or non existant ....lol but I can work around that ...
iv sent him a message
the list is big mate , including a wiring harness + relay box ( no relays required ) for any version of 8 valve k100 that is in reasonable shape
cheers mate

mine has 5 out of 6 cracked or non existant ....lol but I can work around that ...

cheers mate

I might have a (usable?) relay box
Pulled it off the 84 RS.
I assume it can be resuscitated.
I would like to hang onto the relays - for my own use in the future
Wiring loom still attached. You will need to replace at least 2 wires (in top of pic - will be obvious on receipt)
Send me an address. Will post it shortly

Have been speaking to Waz who will catch up with Gaz (then probably Baz, Shaz, Muz...)
He can bring the relay and loom to Newcastle.
Is this of any use?
Otherwise I mail it to you.
Let me know.
Judging by your (impressive) progress to date, you could have the bike going by 8pm Friday night. Expect everyone around Saturday morning for test rides.
Let me know if there is anything else you need.
Regards
Guy
PS pic I tried to attach in previous post was too big. I have PM'd you.

what can I say Guy ..
im forever astounded by the generosity of the locals
thanks for your kind thoughts and generous offer
I had attempted to get a well priced loom out of blighty care of ben kingham but the freight cost was a blinder so that fell through pretty quick .unfortunately
if it can happen ...even getting it to newie ...would be a great start
I have the suspicion that gaz will indeed be already loaded up with goodies heading north
perhaps if it made it to toms place ..that would be a great start .
I intend this year to attempt to have a break over Christmas when I might be able to travel some ...visit the grand kids in Sydney etc ...but call in to newie on the way south ..or north again ..
cheers again guy ... wonderful offer ..thanks

Scientific question:
How much red paint is required for every 5km/h of extra top speed?

Nice work there Charlie - pity it'll be mostly hidden from view...unless you are taking the bike beyond naked and adopting the skeletal look??
As for the extra 5kph....the redder it gets, the faster you will appear to be travelling away from the traffic behind you, but for maximum effect, you need to paint the front of the frame blue to make it look like you are approaching traffic faster too. Get it right, and I reckon you'll be doing at least 10kph when standing still!

Charlie - thinking back to the start of your resto project, what did you use to get your engine block so clean and shiny (apart for a great deal of elbow grease, blood, sweat and tears?).
You have inspired me to have a crack at my sorry old donor bike and see what I can do to cheer her up a bit this winter.

pretty much just degreaser , a few good brushes , a power drill with cup type brush wheel ,( I find a drill speed controller works particularly well for that, to keep the revs down ) all just to clean off the muck
crankcases etc required old fashioned sanding block and appropriate papers .
the timing cover will need to come off again , to install a new cam chain tensioner , when the funds come along ...but no real big hurry on that , just yet .
have fun mate
it looks a really good donor bike you have there
cheers

Cheers mate - I'll get myself down to the local auto & hardware stores and see what I can pick up to start the clean up. Think I'll be having black finger nails for several weeks...

very inspiring, Charlie
Red frame looks killer.
Took my new baby on her first real outing today. A good 20 hours just to get her legal and feeling safe. She really has only one obvious problem left, which funny enough was something that was working...the starter.
But I'm almost glad it went on the fritz, since I now see how easy it is to bump start these beasts.
In about 10 days I've
Changed oil and coolant.
New Clutch cable
New tires
File down and lube a battered throttle cam
Get blinkers, running lights and temp gauges working.
Got a first start on the grunge.
Ride impressions. I ride alot off-road on KTM and GG trials bikes. No street bike since my GS750 which I retired in about 85. But I really rode that thing alot, so it's at least one point of comparison
Ride position is quite "bent". It's fine but I might cramp on a long ride. Pirelli scorps are incredible to me. Great grip even brand new. Very smooth and effortless to lean. It was blustery which moved me around alot more than the bike. It's pretty stable.
It purrs like a gold wing at 42mph. At 60, as you guys know, the buzz is going in bars and pegs, at 5500 it's coming straight up my crotch. But 4k does not feel so bad if you have been zipping around in the higher revs.
It reminds me of the R50 MINI, which does have a buzz, while the R53 has a balancer on the flywheel and no buzz. (I have both right now) Now I remember why I always hated motorcycle mirrors, just enough buzz to make it hard to ID cars at a distance.
I was braced for the "dive" in braking, but maybe all that time on bad suzuki suspension prepared me: brakes seem excellent and very easy to feather.
Running around town the bike is very sweet. Lots of power way down low in 2nd and 3rd. I'm going to have to name her....Angela Merkal?

Thanks to everyone here. So nice to be able to chase down whatever issues the old girl comes up with
Won't be selling this one soon.
