  She's a beauty, great job on the rebuild, I have a 1994 R1100RS that I've taken on two 1500 mile trips now without missing a beat, and I average 50 mpg with more than enough power for any situation. Your two lane country roads keep me on edge knowing how little attention people pay to oncoming traffic, especially motorcycles. Wishing you many safe rides.

  I love that view while riding, as I've said before takes me back to the 80's. Same sounds etc. Sounds like you're on a real learning curve with regards to maintenance, I hope you end up with a reliable two up tourer as both my R100S and R100RS were and I look forward to seeing some more.

  Not sure whether you understand German? If so, look at the channel of "Onkel M". He has a video in which he gives a comprehensive explanation of why not to use a clamp to adjust the free play on the rocker arm. He recommends shims as the proper way to achieve the desired clearance without stressing anything.

  Not surprised by the tight valves. A few heat cycles, new gaskets and studs can do all that. Sounds like everything else is just bedding in issues. Fantastic how good these old “R” bikes are when looked after and have the Bings and ignition. Enjoy the summer!

  Probably one of the most enjoyable rebuilds I’ve watched. Your attention to detail is amazing and it appears only the best options were taken. Not really surprised though as it was the same with all the changes you made to the Interceptor. I think you now have a scene stealer where ever you go. Big congratulations on this.

  Hi daddy , I got Powerage headers for my 650. I want mine to change color to that copperish brown … shall I take brushed steel or glossy steel headers ?

• 
  @WildlifeMoto10 күн бұрын

  Go for non brushed as you can polish them easier. If you want yours to stay a nice straw colour, you’ll have to polish them back to shiny steel from time to time. It won’t take long for them to go dark brown or even blue.

• 
  @WildlifeMoto10 күн бұрын

  I mentioned it in a later video but not a whole video on it. The stud was cut either side of the engine to get it out of the frame. A slide hammer was used to pull it out of the engine and each stump had to be drilled out of the frame. It was properly seized in place.

  Nice job, thanks for sharing! Great you managed to DIY it -- new instruments are expensive! Is the LED light for the charge state (battery/regulator) bypassed by a resistor? I think it needs one as otherwise it can cause regulator failure. I imagine if it was from a special kit for an airhead then that would be factored in.

• 
  @WildlifeMoto12 күн бұрын

  Thanks. The green LED lights were only used for the background on the dials. The index lights are still incandescent bulbs. There is a Katdash kit you can get to change these if you want. I’m guessing they have figured out the correct resistance for the charge light.

  Amazing job restoring that classic bike. So happy for you that it's up and running. I have a similar bike: '77 RS and it makes a similar valve clatter even after a full top-end rebuild. I also swapped out the rocker covers and the originals are noticeably quieter. I have a Beeline attached in the middle of the bars which is a tidy spot for it. You're crash pad would be in the way (and maybe the steering damper knob). I ditched both of those on my bike. Don't think they do anything.

•

  Thanks Michael. I was thinking about machining a new damper knob that could also house the Beeline. Could be a fun little project.

  Amazing. Hopefully, she'll be a great bike for touring! In some ways, it's better to tour on a bike in "used" condition as you won't be worried about it. As long as she's mechanically sound, you'll get many happy miles out of her.

  You've done a superb job. It looks stunning. It's probably a far better bike than my standard 1980 R100S was in the 80's. The first things that caught my eye as different to original was as you said, discs, tappet cover, rear suspension and lack of folding ignition key! However I don't think that detracts in any way, it's just different. I hope you have some great times together.

  Beautiful resto, with the aim to ride. Expensive but you will have a superb bike that can do it all today. How much would a similarly priced new bike cost…..plus it’s yours and you will know every part. As for tyres, get the best you can afford as a bike has minimal contact with the earth and unless it’s just for sunny Sunday afternoons….well staying on the bike seems quite agreeable 😀
