Yesterday I figred out the wiring for the BMW R90/6 ignition
switch that
had been cannibalized and stuck on anothe bike by a tweaker...and
if I
dont get called in to So. Cal tommorow..will try to get Trudy
runnng.
master cylinder for the front disk brakes is leaking, she needs
new fuel lines/filters etc etc but she should fire up. All the
handlebar switches
need removal and cleaning lubing etc....once I get her running, it
will
be time to mask off the engine, rattle can paint the frame, put new
rubber on her and repair the Luftmeister fairing and saddle bags.
Its
the usual Bmw blue with white pinstripes, but have been considering
repainting it Afrika Corps colors with the AC palm tree logo on the
sides of the gas tank.....g

Fun, fun, fun... I got two winter projects a husky 500 from the 70's
that someone gave to me after they got tired looking at it in their
yard for the past 30 years and a 1969 T100 Tiger triumph motor that
is going into a norton frame. The T100 is in perfect shape.

cheers

OOOH...a Tiger! Thats gonna be nice!

If anyone wants another project bike to rebuild, I have an '80 Honda
CB750 that I'll let go cheap. There is no tank or front fender and a
few other pieces are missing. Just make me an offer. I'd hate to
see it get cut up and go to the recycler.

That would be one of the DOHC motors ? I got a couple of SOHC bikes in my
yard ... mid-70's vintage . One is just millimeters from being a runner ,
just needs some clean-up . The rest are parts bikes .



That is correct, it is DOHC.
