Saturday was the best day I’ve had so far in 2018.<\/p>\n
Then Sunday morning came<\/p>\n
Overall – 20 great hours. 1 shitty hour.<\/p>\n
\n\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nWell her she is.\u00a0 My 1988 BMW r100gspd (i.e. 80gspd replica). I started digging into her last November, and now hundreds of hours later, she is ready to roll! Beside the Paris Dakar make over, the bike has some serious mechanical upgrades.\u00a0 Most notably the transmission was rebuilt (including adding a circlip to 5th gear). The OEM driveshalf was switched out to the Emerald Island Co\u2019s serviceable \/ rebuildable unit.\u00a0 The front brake was switched out with a Harrison Billet 6 with stainless steel lines.\u00a0 New TCK80s were mounted and all electric connectors were cleaned and greased.\u00a0 I also switched over the heated grips from my r80rt.\u00a0 Lastly the taillight was upgraded to an ultra bright LED version + a lot of heat shrink cable work to tidy up the lines. Lots more info and post to come! But here is a taste for now! #bmw #bmwr100gs #r80gs #r80gspd #r100gspd #r100gs<\/a><\/p>\n
