As with many of these stories. It all start on Craigslist. Some kid who didnt know what he had sold me this bike for 1K. Needs a tons of TLC but has compression and most of the parts are there. No keys though? But hey, title in hand so I'm happy. See photos below for my starting point. Thus far I have stripped everything down to bare pieces and have been in process of painting and coating everything (frame, differential, sub-frame, swing arm, engine, engine covers, yadda yadda)
Also replacing every nut, bolt and wavy freaking washer on this guy, soo finding MaxBMW and their parts fiche's very handy.
Semi-Gloss Black frame coating from VHF (used on my Zook and proved to be very durable and way cheaper then powder)
Cast Aluminum color coat for engine and diff
Thinking about black for wheels and some two-tone homage for tank and fenders.
Biggest purchase to date was the new "Peanut" style valve covers (way way better look)
Up next is the Thunderchild Diode and replacing most of the electrical system. Clutch, throw out and fly wheel all surprisingly great. Keeping a single front disc [for now].
Still deciding on seat and rear fender combo to go for. Much more to come!
