My mum once told me

My brother popped over a few weeks ago, so I put him to work:D
Looks better already:p
Why you’d want to hide this lovely motor is quite beyond me:comfort

Today is Sunday,
I’m faced with a massive dilemma,stay at home and help my wife in the garden in 30 dog full sun.
Or fuck off to work in my nice cool workshop.
I have an unwritten rule that I only do my own stuff on a Sunday,
So,,,,,
The strip begins:clap

Gearbox oil came out clean so hopefully I won’t need to sell my body on the streets at night to sort it.
The engine oil came out like piss with a fair bit of shimmer:blast

All of the breather pipes,were perished and split,so I guess that has contributed to this:eek:
Looks like the timing is pretty good for a pull down
If the bike had been stood much longer some corrosion would have kicked off in here:barf

Found it,how the fuck did it get in there:blast
Why can’t fuckwits leave things alone ,or at least RTFM:rob
Weird,you cannot fit the shafts till the heads are torqued,or you can’t torque the head if the shaft is fitted how on earth did the shim end up being fitted under the head nut,,,lol

Nice one Mikeyboy although I would add that if you don't already know, you're going to get fekk all out on the street for your body. Absolutely feck all.
 
Looks like a small amount of work to get it restored :blast what style are you going for with this one?
 
Jeez, that's good going for a day's work :clap



These being what? Followers??

Andres

Yep,cam followers,
Hopefully the cam will be ok,from what I can see ,it looks to be.
I want to keep the motor rebuild realistic,if it’s looking ropey I get all sorts of daft ideas to fit silly pistons and cams,bla,bla ,and it ends up costing a fortune,:blast

P3 cam, hig comp pistons, late LeMans big valve heads and big fuck off DelOrto pumpers ~ you know it makes sense :D :D

This bike will be a cafe racer,
I’ve never built a Bmw cafe racer,cos they never existed,my dad was a cafe racer when I was less than a twinkle,
the nearest Bmw got was the R90S ,however motoguzzi always had the le man,
I had a poster of a Mk5 le man on my wall as a kid,but I was young and poor.:D
I also drooled after a Montjuïc,
A few of my mates had jota’s And mirages.
So this bike has been on my list since I was 20.
So I’m going to build my dream bike,,,, then sell it :D
