New R100 Cafe Racer...

[Dutch Von Shed]

Just picked up this little beauty ... 95% done and just needing a few tweaks. Suggestions welcome!!!

For me, the clocks have to go she needs indies, just for starters... Maybe a flatracer tank?

/5 headlight bucket w/ integrated gauges, bar-end signals, send me the tank when you find a replacement, and ride the shit out of it!

 

[Dutch Von Shed]

Agree with all of that IndieSol - although I might keep the tank now I've got used to it - plus it matches the seat and I don't need to repaint it. Front fender is the biggie, as I ride home in the rain yesterday and had a face-full of roadwater the whole way.

rad! i love it!
i would leave the tank, clear headlight, move headlight down a bit to flow with the line of the bike, and maybe powder coat or paint the wheels black

Good looking bike man! I agree with the gauge mounted into the headlight bucket. Maybe some bar end mirrors. But that's just my personal preference.

 

[Dutch Von Shed]

Things are a-changin' ... Just ordered a FlatRacer Fairing kit, as I love the Imola SS-style fairings on some of the Beemer Cafes out there. This means keeping the clock and the headlight bucket, but will give a sleeker look. Something like this...

or this...

Holy shit, that bike you posted with the silver fairing looks incredible.

 

[Brentscafe]

Love the fairing, bike's going to look bad ass!

 

[sinbad85]

looks great!
what about a fork brace?

 

[Frog]

Agree with sinbad, you need a fork brace, what about some mini teardrop indicators on the seat hump to keep the lines clear, bar end up front, or mount mini indicators onto the headlight support bolts.

 

[buckeyebike]

Love it!

 

[Dutch Von Shed]

Fairing is going on today!!!!

I'll post up more pics when she's fitted (unpainted)... and I need to mock up colours. Not sure whether to match the silver or go gloss black for contrast.

 

[Dutch Von Shed]

Indicators, mudguards and fairing now fitted to the R100S.

The fairing needs paint yet and the mudguard needs lowering and maybe simplifying, but I'm getting there...

 

[JustinLonghorn]

Looks good to me, sir.

 

[sinbad85]

wow!
i am into that fairing bigtime
