well, I got asked by a couple of folks to post up what went on in my garage. well, here's the scoop.
I had this nice K1100RS, which, after I moved, was languishing in my cellar:
This is not a bike to be parked, so I traded it for this:
then chased down this... a 1983 R80RT that had been crashed, stripped and left to rot on the side of a house.
so I bought it for cheap, brought it home and began removing everything I could and started cleaning things up:
first thing was to remove the huge rear fender assembly
then I elminated the airbox and flip/flopped the bars
then, I did some finishing work on the wheels, engine components, and had Corbin build a custom saddle.
I've still got aways to go, but all in all, it's been a fun, fun project. Next up: elimination of the instrument pod, a better taillight solution, and a chrome front fender
Really nice exhaust!
