bmw scrambler project (a slow build)

[Skudd]

I too think that the tank should be painted. I don't mind rat bikes, but sometimes going from a decent finish to a crap one is at odds with me.

What a lovely read and way to spend my afternoon. Thank you!

The bike is looking good (on the inside) but I have to agree with comments about the tank. I'd like to see it in dark green, please!

[hmmmnz]

the tank was black originally. (not originally of course, but when i got it)
it had been painted with a brush with shit paint that used to slide off with even the faintest hint of petrol,
originally i planned on stripping it to respray, stripped it,
never did anything, started to rust,
quite liked it, so left it,
i may one day take it back to bare metal, which will take less than 10 mins and give it a coat of paint,

but to be honest. meh. couldnt really give a fuck,
as long as the bike is sound then thats sweet, there are other priorities on it than worrying about the paint,

if some one wants to paint the tank for free, im happy to send it to ya

its a long term bike, so one day i'll "do it justice" just not today

well its been a couple of years and ive done bugger all to the bike,
after the gear box was done, i literally parked it up and have not started it since. as punishment for blowing up on me in the first place

i got the tank painted about a by my workmate and told him to do what ever he wanted.
and this was the result

a nice copper pearl type... thing in the paint, all flickery and shit.
awesome job i must say,

i pulled the carbs off and replaced all the jets and gave them an ultrasonic clean, replaced the diaphragms etc

i also decided it was high time i ditched the master cylinder, (as its set up for a twin caliper front end)
in order to do that i needed to replace the throttle, starter button and master cylinder,
which also gave me the opportunity to re-design and custom make some new throttle cables with a 90' bend into the carb so it avoided the exhaust

im waiting on a new/2nd hand ignition switch because some little tard tried to steal the bike, not realising that it had no gas and none of the fuel lines were connected, the little fucks did get away with my ktm super moto though fuckers

any way while im waiting on the ignition i though i best see if this old dog would start after 2 years of just lazing about, like a gypsy bum on the dole

see here for the results ....

you look like you've crashed into an ugly tree

lol,
its a bmw, they are always kind of ugly,
doesnt look like much with out the tank and seat on it.

ive ordered a new set of clocks for it out of the fatherland

its essentially a Koso BA035K00 rebadged
i quite like the koso clocks and have had good results from them in the past,

ok,
cleaned up all the wiring, replaced the lighting relay, and the indicator relay,
led indicators got added to front and back,
the rear light has them built in, but they were a little to close together for my liking,
https://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g257/hmmmnz/bmw%20scrambler%20project/DSC_0784%20Large_zps4ofefrsj.jpg
old front ones were shit, so got replaced as well,

have added waterproof plugs for the new digital speedo thats on the way from the fatherland. so that'll just be a matter of adding the plugs to the speedo loom and she'll be plug and play.

had to also replace the ignition switch, from last time some little chavy prick tryed to steal it

ummm balanced the carbs,

need to order a front brake switch, hobble together some sort of front mud guard, and she'll be good to go for a mot (wof)
i think ill go for a fang tomorrow and do a oil and filter change,

i also have a leaking final drive, so that'll have to be fixed at some point

Regarding the 35mm ammo boxes do they pack enough in. Or are they more for show

I'm considering getting some for my bike but the 40mm. Just not sure what to go for at the moment. Will have to get someone to make up the racks as well as I don't have a welder anyway.

Just looking at replacements for the k100 standard panniers.
