I have been pondering what to do to my BM. I have tried to sell it. Didn't really try hard to do this.

I have decided at having a go at semi bobbing it. This will not be a quick flash in the pan project.

This is what I have done so far today.







This is what has inspired me. Mine will be matt black. I am thinking of smaller tank for mine like this one. I know bobbers are supposed to have no front guard. Mine will have a very small one. I have my eye on a solo saddle for it already.

More photos NEED more photos



I never wastse my time building idols to worship I see them for what they are

FUN self motavated and personal

I think it is an Australian breadbox.

The bobbed BMW in the photos is not mine. I found the photo on that thing call the internet. I want my BMW to end up like that one.

Now you've gone and ruined my hope for a clean solution to an old issue. It really IS an Aussie bread box, isn't it?

I'm workin my project BMW to a assembly between a cafe and sport bike that I can travel on

I went back to drum they are lighter and can do a decent job NEW shoe materal

Doin SWB as the handeling can be quicker ( thats the only Assy I never tried )

Local paint for easy maintance

Drop on seats (Solo and a custom crafted Dual pan)

Design thoughts.

Cast aluminium seat. I can rivet two small leathers pads to this. Spary this matt black too. Then with my Dremmel I can engrave a design around the edge that is still exposed and not covered by leather. Mounted with Scissor springs to give my arse that extra bounce over pumps.



Mirrors to keep with the fact the bike is German.



And I like the 'limp dick' tail light to go on the rear guard.

Locally sold is a trailer light LED that is 2 element and Looks likea MotoGuzzi light from a early Ambo CEV type

as far as what I have a LED stocker

Leave it alone

Playing around with cardboard to mock up a solo saddle. The shape is not finale. I will have a go at making my own out of tread plate and see what it looks like.
