Title: Anybody outhere like BMW motorcycles???
Post by: SkidMark on April 13, 2014, 06:01:59 PM
I figured since I am waiting on springs for my rear coil overs I would get the old girl out and give her a good polishing.. It is like 80 degrees out here, good motorcycling weather!!! .... Thought I would share a few pics....  Skid

Nicely optioned bike! How long did that take to polish?

Love those rear sets and the steering stabilizer.

We've been out on our VFR quite a few times this season already. It took a while for it to get here, didn't it? You think we're done with the snow yet?

Hey thanks Dave!!!  God I hope we are done with snow!!! We didn't get a HOLE bunch this year but I hope I don't have to break out the snow shovel again!! I'm at about 6000 feet so we get it once in a while..  Yea I sanded and polished my life away when I first built the r75, I looked like Al Jolsen for weeks! She cleans up pretty easy now.. BMW aluminum polishes sooo nice!!! Made the rear sets for pretty cheap, have a buddie with a water jet.. Also Randy from GPR stabilizers is a good friend.. Also helps to have a HAAS cnc machine at my disposal.. :) :) :) The mono shock and swing arm were also made by myself..  If you ever get up to the Reno Tahoe area hit me up and we can go take a spin... We have some incredible twisties and gorgeous scenery!!!!! Skid


The photo is me after polishing for a day.... Mammmie!!!
