Plans so far is take of plastic,speedo,bars

Trying to find old ford round headlight and some exhaust wrap
cut the back off and make round bar. Plus seat base and new seat and take paint off tank. :D
 
So I've been a busy boy:D

Forks shorten by one 'n' half inches
suzuki efe headlight
paint taken off the tank
Rear sub frame cut and welding round bar for seat pan.
Exhaust are beenin' done at the moment (got me a pipe bender :D )
They will come out the side of the block like top fuel drag racer style
Exhaust wrap cus' am cool :rolleyes:

Sorry for rubbish photo's using my phone :rolleyes:
 
I owned one of those a long time ago, a K100RS 8v. Despite its weight and floaty suspension, it could shift and I often showed a clean pair of heels to some so called "superbikes" back in the 1990's. :)
 
This is the 8v k100 non abs!
Better one of the k100!

Am thinking of ditching the F.I system and sticking some carb's on it for velo stacks :D

Sorry ment fuel injection. This is very early Injection system and works well. Only thing is the air flow meter is a right pain to get around :rolleyes:
Am wanting to bye pass this and the only way to do it would be carbs from some 600cc thing.

I'm liking this, not my cuppa, but great seeing projects like this. What finish you going for on the tank then?

Tank is going to be scotch brite all over for the "dull" look also the rocker covers might also get it to!!
I also have a spare tank which is been painted soon. The theme will be the ww2 shark teeth.

Got a sun visor strip i need to weld on to the head light when i get time
 
Hoping to get it on the road for winter but with all projects.......

Awaiting on fork seals,exhaust gaskets,oil and that all adds up!

Thank you all for nice comments
Some thing a little different from a harley/cafe racer/bobber
 
I thought you only needed a gold sticker / British cert if you wanted to have a track day? As most organizers require this?

I didn't think there was any requirement for a helmet to be "road legal", providing it covers the skull?
