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.

just my attempt Will , thanks for the comment , keeps me plugging away at it

can never match so many fantastic works performed by many others

some of them are now passed on ,
but including Halo and Smithy just for a start ,,,,  those guys  really have a talent eh ????
I guess ive tried things that others may never do and finding some results along the way

 to be honest I'm really happy if I have inspired someone in some small way

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

83-84 engine cleanup  - Page 2 20170920

83-84 engine cleanup  - Page 2 20170921

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

83-84 engine cleanup  - Page 2 20170923

83-84 engine cleanup  - Page 2 20170924

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?

When you start putting it together, will you be using white cable ties?

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

83-84 engine cleanup  - Page 2 20170934

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 ...

83-84 engine cleanup  - Page 2 Screen11

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

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

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

very inspiring, Charlie Smile

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 Wink

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? Wink
