Were those caps on the top of the forks chromed? (They were on my R60 and were replaced by plastic caps on my R80.) Did BMW get into cheese paring mode and cut the chrome between the two? It's starting to look awful nice by the way.

Chromed on my old r75/6...

Ok,holiday out of the way,
I’ll post some pics tomorrow,but ,the last few parts are on order and the paint work will hopefully be back next week ,
So the bike will be finished this next month or so

This bike was going to be a keeper and has been built as such, :blast

A twist of fate has seen this 90S come into my possession

)
So if anyone wants to own a fully rebuilt and updated classic get in touch

What gorgeous patina. In these uncertain times might it not be more cost-effective to get it mechanically spot-on, clean it and sell it? The new owner might then be more inclined to ride it to St. Tropez and back, rather than riding a freshly restored one to St. Tropez and back and wiping £4-5,000 off its value.

You are welcome Mike, glad we all made it work out in the end, and Anne is really looking forward to seeing the finished product. post mikeyboy magic

Really going to follow this one with added interest. My Dad was on the phone last night saying she had a tearful farewell to Peter's "pet" yesterday.

There is a bit of a story behind this bike
