Beautiful home-made R100GS

So nice!
R100GS from Malmö, Sweden.

(Not the R80. Scroll down!)

Dennis, who built the bike, actually re-spoked the rear wheel to compensate for the 20 mm offset that the new R1100 swing introduced. Can you imagine? Spending 50 hours on the spokes to move the wheel 20 mm sideways!

Great looking bike, but 50 hours on the back wheel!! I was going to do the same mod to my GSPD, glad i didn't now

I can understand completely. It is what separates your passionate motorcyclist form your average motorcyclist.

Although details are always hard to make out on photos, it looks like a nice job. But I've noticed little details such as the rear muffler running nicely parallel to the rear subframe brace.
