Flag this garage as inappropriateBMW R80ST "The Copper"
For some info, please visit my site: www.flatracer.com
The bikes have been completely rebuilt by me with a Cafe Racer kit designed, developed and produced by me. Managed to rebuild all of them between January and December 2007.
- Front mudguard is based on original but shortened by 24cm
- Top fairing is based on a Ducati bevel with headlight opening from R90S
- Fuel tank is loosely based on a Manx Sprint 3 gallon with underneath section based on a BMW Monolever Airhead tank (space for the relay board)
- Tail is based on a Knoscher design
- Upholstered seat is my design
- Side panels are BMW replicas
- Rear sets, clip ons and exhausts by Raask.
The Pearl Electric Blue bike, a 1980 R100RS is called The Shed (it was in a miserable state when I bought it) and it's engine is seriously massaged for performance along with a shorter ratio diff.
The Pearl Apache Orange is called The Copper (ex-police bike), a 1983 R80RT.
The BMW Black Cosmos 303 is called The Blaxer, a 1979 R100RT.
All these bikes were completely rebuilt, no nut or bolt undone!
I will also be selling cosmetic parts for the Airheads so I can recoup some of the costs.
