Boys with their toys
Over a year ago dermot mentioned that he had an old R80 he had bought ,wanting to build a project bike,a street scrambler!
Eventually it ended up at my workshop
After some research ,and a few emails with pictures a basic design brief emerged.
Here is what we started with

Some photos as it arrived

The bike was pulled apart ,to see what was worth using,binning and selling
The frame went off to mistacat for some mods
Then powder coat.
So here is our starting point

 

[mikeyboy]

New mounts for the fuel tank,relocated battery box,new headraces,swinging arm bea rings and rebuilt propshaft
