bmw hotrod project "schnell Brutus"

[thumperslaw]

So got the mini moto running and light tune up (does about 40mph) pretty funny thing and great to get around workshop yard!

Also have the seat foam now but awaiting glue to get it stuck down
And then there's the wiring, now bmw are really good at having lots of "extras" to the bike! None the less I've been working thru them and sorting out last persons Bodge job wiring (please stop if it was you!!!!)

Getting close to having it wired up.

Nothing to really update on

Got some glue for the seat and will be sorting that out over the weekend
Still sorting out wiring and what I need and what I don't.
So far i must of saved out kilo in weight
Also running no key barrel
I've hid a button some where ;)
Looks better

What bout one of these? http://motogadget.com/de/elektrik/rfid- ... hloss.html I got them to fit to mine whenever I get the time

[thumperslaw]

Have seen them but that means spending money!

When do you expect to get it finished ?

[thumperslaw]

We got a once a year bike night at casington and it was 5000 strong last year
I hope I get it down for that

[thumperslaw]

Started on the seat tonight
Just need to clean edges up and sorted!

[lloydie]

come on get it finished
i want to see it up and running

[thumperslaw]

Exhaust are next and they are a big job
Want the straight threw looking pipes with out the ear bleeding sound

[thumperslaw]

So i've trimmed the seat up last night and little more today (had a cheeky look with it on the bike )

Couple of niggles tho but i think i've sorted them out now (i hope)

Next up was the side stand. I removed the big centre stand (60kg!!) and moved the side stand to the right. Reason been that if the bmw is leaning to the left for to long the oil goes to the top of the head (flat 4) then on start black smoke from the exhaust pipes! easy fix (thanks honda side stand)

[lloydie]

60kg wow that's a lot for just a stand .

[thumperslaw]

It felt like 60kg!!!
