thank you all for your kind words. in germany i got some flak, most bmw-forum-members did'nt like the exhaust nor the high handlebar. and the tires!
 
Harryzet, I like it alot, what rear shock is that, it looks like you might be able to lower the back a little with that rear shock, thats what Im looking for.
 
Yes! Looks perfect to me.

I've wanted to make a scrambler out of one of these but they're to much $$$ locally.
 
johnyrrr, that is a wilbers-rearshock, specially made for this bike. the standard-shock had the habit to scratch the underside of the seat, when driving over a bump. the new one is harder and has a mechanical stop, preventing the tire from touching the seat. when i sit on the bike, it IS lower on the back - its just on the picture, that it looks like it could use a few centimeters less on the shockabsorber. the driving is btw much improved with the wilbers (i also have their springs on the fork), its roadholding
 
The ddt makes me like bikes that i never thougt i would like,now i really enjoy and decided to look further into BMW`S,xv`s and gl`s for a future project!
Lovely bike and nice rubbers Harry!
