Ya for sure benthic, you should make the trip to the OC for Vintage Bike OC. I'll be there, even if PROJECT-S doesn't make an appearance, I'll still be there. I actually help Joe, the organizer, with logistics and photography, so I'm there every month that I can make it.

Give me a brake... I mean "brakes" :eek1
Last thing to do is reassemble the brakes. Got the rear master back together and on the bike but no time to bleed, had to get back to home improvement project.

Actually, there may have been a JPS BMW R100RS. Don't know if this is was factory produced or just some guy's project, nice either way.

$150 for the four pieces, which I thought was very reasonable. http://www.vandemon.com/

$150 is CHEAP for striping

wheres the mid week update....... sunday is only a few days away!

R100LT · Feb 7, 2013

The JPS paint scheme was " official " from BMW in Oz to go with the BMW race team in the touring cars. By memory there were about 200 of these produced ( some one will correct me soon )

Not to worry samthg, I'm not going to have time this week to finish her so debut will likely be at the March VBOC.

PROJECT-S was put on hold this week while I had a crew come in and replace the 38 year old heater/air conditioner system in the house.
Some times ya got stop the fun stuff (PROJECT-S) to do things that keep the misses happy

villageidiot · Feb 7, 2013

I had a house that was built in the early 60s. Getting rid of the wall heaters and installing central heat and air was the best thing i ever did to/for that house. Good on you for keeping the misses happy. See ya Sunday either way.

Bummer. Hope to see you there tomorrow anyhow.

TINK · Feb 9, 2013

While PROJECT-S is still in dry dock waiting for me to finish the brakes, I've decided to bring the tank and seat to VBOC tomorrow for a sneak peek.

Set up the lift jig to fit the bike with center stand installed. Now I can put her on the lift when ever I need to. Still need to finish the brakes, will be easier to do with wheels off and bike on the lift.
