Clocked and drilled VZ rotors to the /7 pattern. Waiting on billet to turn the 16mm thick adapters for the rims.

Thanks, dude. That tire is pretty old. The plan is to put a good set of Dunlops on there before she hits the road.

Not sure that Shoei has a big'nuff hole.

Got the front wheel finished up proper. 16mm spacers for the rotors and shimmed calipers...

Lowering the subframe means altering the side covers, if I want to go stock. It altered the angle of the down tube enough that it pushed the covers to a weird angle.

These covers were already given a repair, so no biggie cutting them up...

I cut a wedge out and a 1/2" from the notch at the top right...

Lay down resin and mat. I like to spread the resin with the finely serrated edge plastic to-go knife, so I can drag the fibers across the edges of the mat, around edges and corners...

Nice work, very few folks will know you did that after it's all painted.
 
Re: 1977 BMW R100/7 Miles Von Muncher Hellride

Well, my /7 tank is pretty fucked. I think I can salvage it, but major surgery is about happen. Sad...

The light rust film is just because I rinsed it with water after phosphoric acid.

Could leave some exposed welds depending on the look your shooting for. Those tanks aren't cheap unfortunately. Perfect horizontal line might play into a paint theme though.

I have a line on a $250 tank. Still pricey as hell, but for a tank that's pretty much perfect, I think it's worth it. This one will take a week to get right. The whole bottom of this tank is a quarter inch of corrosion and liner mixed together.
 
Re: 1977 BMW R100/7 Miles Von Muncher Hellride

$250 is a good deal.

For sure. That's as cheap as you'll find.

Max BMW posted a tank for $100 on eBay with $50 shipping. It's dented, but very fixable. I jumped on that tank...
