Nice purchase Mr Boxer esq !!
Looks the dogs danglies....you WILL have to tell us all the spec ( love that front end
Guy that built it must have been real upset to see her go !!!!!!
Cheers Kenny
Basically she started life as a R80GS Monolever (probably a PD of 1988 vintage)
In 2004/2005 she was transformed into a special GS
The front frame was strengthened (HPN style) and powdercoated GS Basic blue and the Q Tech rear end was added
The motor was overhauled and checked, then a Siebenrock 1000cc kit was added, taking her up to 60+hp, together with a new Cam for more torque and a gearbox overhaul, with HPN lower 1st and longer 5th gearing added
Rear swing arm & shaft was extended, by HPN and a long travel Moto - X piggyback Ohlins with 3 way adjustment, was added
The front end is a new 2005 spec Yamaha WR450 48mm KYB unit, with 250mm Nissin rotor, caliper and master cylinder, matched to a WR450 Excel front wheel and hub. Springs were upgraded and forks revalved, for the extra weight of the boxer.
Fatbars and clamps were also added, together with a TT IMO computer.
Exhaust is off a stock Mono GS, mated to a Cagiva Elefant Alloy silencer
She came with both the 32 litre Mono PD tank, which has just been refurbished to new condition and is superb, plus the smaller tank suitable off roading excursions.
She looks absolutely gorgeous with the PD tank, which blends into the Q Tech rear end a treat
So there we have it..................
Here a selection of pics from the build
The finished article.........
She was entered into a couple of Dutch events, which her original Belgian owner either won or won his class..................so she can shift
As with any Airhead there is still a few jobs.............namely
New switchgear and the exhaust system to sort out, possibly Keihan front end mated to a Siebenrock or HPN rear silencer, plus maybe a better headlight/cockpit.......but I quite like the Enduro one
So there we have it....................a superb machine and very different to my Adv
I'm sure we'll have lots of fun
