Ok, Been really quiet on the Forum,
But here is partly what kept me busy.
Specs:
It started life as a R80ST, I bought it, the tank, frame, and just about everyting was paited with a brush, either white, black or silver. The silver was nogal roof paint.
Well I stripped it down,
Powder Coated the frame Blue,
The R100 engine was already running nicely so I did not open,
Replaced Oil seals on gearbox while it was open,
New Clutch plate,
Oil seals on the diff,
Cleaned everything properly,
re-built the carbs,
re-covered the seat.
AND fitted a F650 Front end. I only had to have a shorter stem made for the steering head. The R80 and 650 steeering head bearings are exactly the same. just the stem on the R80 is 20mm shorter.
Also fitted 21" Dakar wheel, disk, and Caliper.
with an aftermarket front fender.
Screen: aftermarket Dakar screen, home made brackets.
AND VOILA, a buautifully running sort of R80/100/650 G/S.
PS. I just about had to force the Tank from an unknown party at Gun Point, as these Basic / Kalahari type tanks are really hard to find.
