looking great chris, all the old patina'd parts are gunna make a sweet hack with character hope to see it on the road soon.
That's looking good Chris Always liked a vehicle that has a story behind where all the various parts came from. .
Zoom, Zoom Double Hoske mufflers. redoing the top end including rod bearings and bushings. Summer is officially in Chico.
After machining 5 spacers my 15" powder coated alloy wheel is installed with a Michelin 125/15. Hopefully this weekend I will get my front disc brake and and 4 piston caliper installed.
Looking forward to your disc brake update, I might be tempted to do something along the same lines myself
Here is the new front wheel and brake disc. I'll swap the swing arm tomorrow for the one I welded a caliper mount to.
love the "smoothie" hack wheel, looks like a spindle mount vw wheel for a manx or sandcar. really looks great with the skirted fender.
does it rise at the front on braking? surprised you ddn't make a floating caliper mount. I like your machine, looks like an old outfit that's been in use for years. And you get to pick out all the best years of BMW parts, too. Better than a stock restoration.
The funny things is I don't know. It might lift, but I've been riding these old things for so long I don't notice it. The conversion was done in the 80's and it's defiantly a bits-o-bike. 40mm carburetors on a R90 motor Crank fired ignition from some VW parts /6 rear drive conversion /5 headlight bucket .....and soon to change some more.
They're not that wide. Finished up my front brake tonight mm disc and a piston Brembo caliper from a R1150.
