Romeo's Beemer VIII

2012 - another year  - another bike.  I am only doing this one bike this year, which is my 1982 BMW R80 which has been hanging around in bits for a year now.  The bike is currently at P&D in Horsham where we are sorting the frame and metal work out.  Details are gradually coming together, and its going to be a sporty looking bike although it wont be sporty in the context of modern sports bikes - still if I go fast no one can see me!

• Donor bike a 1982 refurbished BMW R80 bought on Ebay
• 23" wheels in BMX snowflake design using Avon rubber, hand built by Taylor Made Wheels
• Front forks and front brake from a Harley FXD as they were free and in my garage - rear is the existing shaft/drum.
• New hardtail frame built by Dave Batchelar at P&D
• Existing tank cut down to reduce bulk.
• New small front mudguard and an integral cafe racer style rear fender, which a custom seat to connect.
• The bars shown are for demonstration, but its going to have flatter drag style bars.
• Exhaust will be 1.5" stainless and a 2 into 1 finishing in a Supertrapp muffler on the left side
• Paint, lights and other details ....havent got a clue yet
