Scrapyard dog or Phoenix from the fire?

My decision was made on the finish I wanted on the bike so I needed to mask the engine prior to having the crankcase powder coated in gloss black,
No going back:D

Looking at the BMW bikes website, 6057575 is out of a May 1983 R80ST.
 
Got my frame back from powder:D
Can start the final build now:bounce1

Bugger, does this mean I'm not going to see mine until yours is finished. I'm excited for you, then I thought, hang on, what about mine. He'll want to finish his before mine's done.

Can't wait until we're riding around on our new Mikeyboy Specials. :thumb2


By the way, that engine looks good in black.
