Raven's R80g/s buildup.....went from a good rider to an almost new bike

[The Raven]

Hallo Adam, think your dealer gives the M and M`s as a hint, concerning the switches at the beemer handlebars.
Perhaps they took in munich for each switch, one "m" out off the package, with
closed eye and designed the colors.
Doesn`t matter, cause we all, handle the bares/switches with closed eyes.

WOW, now that is a way of thinking about it. You could also look at the M&M as 2 Beemers riding side by side. The M being the outer loops as handles and the center the frame

Well,
I went and put an order in for my 3.0ohm dyna coil today to match my 1980 era points can. I'm going to points for the simplicity and until I can afford an omega beancan.
I also purchased a R1100R brake caliper and after some machining will serve as 4 pot upgrade to the 2 pot R100 brakes.

Just thought I would post a photo of the progression;

Good evening Raven, looks very very nice. Are there special thermo-socks over your rear suspension and how deep is the snow around your hut?

Hensmen; Dirtskinz shock cover, it's made of neoprene. I had it custom made for the Works shock. The $20USD it cost is well worth not having to spend another $250usd on repairing the shock again. The shaft was scored and needed replacement.

Snow got to about a meter, fortunately it's been warm with rain recently so another few weeks it'll be clear

The GS will be christened with a ride in the mud to get to the road

Herbert: Since that photo was taken I've installed Hotgrips, and Barkbuster Storms. I have a black fender enroute at the moment, as well as a yellow R80G/S logo I had printed up.

Hi Raven, just a remark on your neoprene Shock Covers...
They are not really the best you can do to save the shocks.
Dust might go through and works the fork tubes like sanding it.
My hint: better have a look inside after dust or mud rides.
In competition they went back to rubber covers.
just my 2 cents
