oke, here we go.

see if it works with the pics.

when i bought the bmw, i first ride on it, but after 2 months i already wanted to change some things.

started withe the exhaust. put a Remus exhaust from a r1150gs. changed it a littlebit to fit the r1100s.

after that i bought some magnesium rims from a Honda 500cc V2 GP bike. (the one jurgen van de goorbergh raced on)
with PVM rotors.

for the rear i had to make a spacer to fit the rim. because its mounted with a single nut.

then the front had to change. i put some tokico radial calipers on it. it was a lot of work to make it.
about 14 hours per mounting...

al the things i make, i´m making with a normal milling machine....no CNC.

also made some brake/shiftset. (dont know hou you cal them

)

al the parts i make are from ALU 7075 aluminium: very light and nice to work with, and....stronger than steel.

then the seat unit had to go. origional its 17 kilo....sow heavy. now i use a polyester race seat from a Honda rs125 racebike.

had to make a new subframe from pipe.

Very nice pieces of engineering. I allways thought that the brakes where good as standard, but christ on a bike, I bet this one will stop on a tanner

i ride on the bike for a few months whit the other brakes and rims. the brakedisks from pvm had a hard time on the bmw....sow i bought some other disks from a yamaha r6

spiegler disks.

also started with the new exhaust. made it from stainlessteel pipe the use in the milk factory.

on the rear i mounted an aftermarked radial caliper from a moped, cheap and looks nice.
and mounted a shorter reaction arm

haha, yes.

the brakes are insane. compared to this the origional brakes are soooooow bad.

i thought the origional fairing is to big. sow i bought a Honda cbr1000rr fairing and mounted it on the bike, also finished the rest of the exhaust.

later the fairing went of, it was not what i was thinking it would be.

i like a naked bike more....

used termignoni race silencers from a ducati 916

the exhaust was a lot of work, but very nice to do.

sow, already told the fairing had to go.....mounted a headlight from a husqvarna 570. i did some supermoto with it and didn´t use the headlight.

this is how it lookes now. al the origional bmw fearing is gone. cleaned the origional gastank.
lookes nice in aluminium. a lot of people ask me where the tank is from...hahah, only a few know its the stock tank.
