Brought it home last Oct...

Did some paint, had the snowflakes powder coated, new tires, and threw a National Cycle windscreen on it. Not a correct S bike, p.o. did not have the correct items. Thats ok for i'm not looking for a show bike, just a nice clean daily rider. It has been a blast!! Put it back on the road last January.

1982 R80/7 TIC (UK police). Exhaust was rotted. Rear suspension shot. Rockers leaking. Carbs leaking. Brakes awful. Tyres hard & cracked. But frame numbers matched and mileage seemed genuine at 32,000 with MOT's.

My goal was to get a sportier riding position courtesy of RS handlebars, and to highlight the beautiful boxer engine. I added the older airbox cover to create the square engine block shape from the pre-1981 bikes, and moved the battery to create some open space to lighten up (visually) the back end. I also wanted to shorten the seat and lighten the mudguard shape. Here are a few pics I took yesterday.

Gorgeous! You made it all sound so easy...... not easy to find a /7 and wire wheels and dual front discs and peanut valve covers... ALL good stuff! kudos!

Kai Ju · 07-23-2012, 10:44 PM

Nice looking bike.
Where did the fenders come from, if you don't mind my asking ?
( I'd love to have the seat you're no longer using)

That's rather tasty. Excellent job hiding the wiring and battery too!

That's a UK Police bike ... If I'm not mistaken they came stock with the wire wheels and dual Brembo setup.

GREAT FIND. Very nice!

But at the loss of the centerstand ... But I agree the bike looks great.

Spot on! Although I changed the valve/rocker covers to the older peanut shape. I believe they have a lighter flywheel too, master cylinder on the bars, and uprated electrics, could be loads more, not sure. You do have to be careful without a centre stand, but I'm getting used to it - It's now a tool to be used for oil changes and whatnot

Thanks for the positive feedback! Although I'm already contemplating a tank respray

@Kai Ju: fenders\mudguards are from flatracer.com - short stainless front, medium stainless rear from a triumph. Both sanded gently with 400 grit to get a brushed effect. Got the exhaust from them too
