Gentlemen,

I would like to introduce myself: I live in Germany and I have been riding airheads since 1976, starting with an R 75/5 (SWB), moving to an R 100/7 in 1979, which I stil have today (one does not part with a lady one has celebrated one`s silver anniversary with), and some other airheads over the decades.

??? Those forks look contemporary for a R100/7. The only anomaly is that a straight /7 would normally only have one disk, but even the twin discs could be original, it was always a factory option to fit the additional disc.

Oh, and Alphons... a big welcome to the forum

Welcome ! Sweet machine !

That 1/2 fairing looks more at home on an airhead than most I have seen of late.
Seat as well ... Knoscher pieces ?

Welcome Alfons, pleased to meet you.
I've spent most of my money on women, motorcycles, and beer.
The rest of it I just wasted.

That is a nice bike, Alphons. You are inspiring me to consider renewing my insurance this year.
