Well I finally got brave/stupid enough to get into the garage and start my prep work.
Tail is off along with muffler
Body work is off
Lights off
Some observations:
Working with ski gloves on because its -6 = Not fun nor easy.
If not for this forum, I would have never ever found the screws behind the roundel (except when I ripped everything apart in a fit of rage).
I have a strong urge to punch German engineers in the throat. They hide screws/bolts everywhere! Those damn tail lights had screws hiding bolts and they managed to position the roundel screws in a position that a socket allen key was too small but every extension/allen key I had was too long. (Well played BMW...well played).
I have a full Laser exhaust on the way, PC 3 (Wish we could get a five for our bike or a Bazzaz). I've also ordered a full set of bodywork from Sebimoto. I've been told it will ship this week from Czechoslovakia.
I plan to keep the colors as close to stock as I can. I ordered a set of the BCR decals from Denmark. They should match stock pretty close.
Now that I finally have the body work off, my girl will begin her weight loss program. I'm trying to be careful though. My master plan is to race her this year and maybe next (depending on how the bike and my body hold up), then convert her back to street for our golden years. So I'm not just cutting wires out or stripping everything out. My best guess is that the bike will still weight more than my competition on their bike. Once I get on her we'll weight close to twice the competition! hahaha.
But it should be cool and fun.
I'm also looking forward to safety wiring everything. It looks like those round headed bolts, and counter sunk bolts should be a blast to drill. FUN TIMES! But I will wait until I can work without winter gloves for that fun.
I'll post and review as i go along.
