Looks a bit ropey doesn't it? I'd be interested to see how this comes out. Good luck!

I'm in too. I've never stripped an oil head down completely as its all a bit more complicated than standard bike designs.

Agreed the 1150 looks best in mandarin ( with black engine )

Isn't that Sunny Yellow?

Oh! Err!, a sad case of either neglect, or a hard life, but judging by the mileage possibly the former.

I just hope the electrical wiring hasn't turned to verdigris.

Interesting project.

No that was a later colour I believe

Nice colour too, I do like a yellow

I picked up an R1100RS SE last year whilst wearing rose tinted specs and took the specs off when I took the fairing panels and seat off when I got home! There may be points in the wiring loom that have suffered over the years, if so, look on e bay de for one. As for the frame, bars and stands 2 options. Either sand/wire brush them then etch prime and spray yourself or get a powder coated to do them. If you are going to do the engine, plenty of plus gas or penetrating fluid on the exhaust studs as 3 of mine snapped when removing them.
As for the engine, front wishbone and fork lowers, spray on Hammerite silver is brilliant stuff. This won't be a 5 minute job but I bet it will be a beaut when done. Good luck with the refurb.
