i bought this project a few weeks ago 22K miles, not used for a few years, cosmetically average for age but hopefully not mechanically worn out.
Have given a full major service with all the tricky spline lubings and repainted the rear of the frame and the stands which were looking pretty tired.
Waiting to sandblast and repaint the exhaust guard after I had to weld a little section in.
Bolted back together and a quick polish and it'll do me for a while...
(dog is not yet to scale)
Considering how much stuff sits under the front of the rear mudguard (clutch arm e.t.c) I dont know why BMw didnt make the rear mudguard longer... so I made an extension out of a bit of rubber. hopefully it'll help keep that area a bit less wet and crappy.
Cant see it very well but it extends full width to the left and is cut with about 5-10mm clearance round the exhaust. RHS is a bit hampered by the swing arm but should be ok.
Also stuck some grease nipples in the centre stand and clutch arm while I had them apart.
Still hunting a "diamond Grey metallic" (186/617) RHS side panel....
cheers!
