Looks really good. When do you expect her to be running?

I wanted to finish her by the end of the year but realistically I don't think that's achievable. I'm approaching the thick end of my final year of Mechanical Engineering at TUKS so I'm struggling to find the time these days. I still try to do at least one small task every day or two to keep the progress going.

Redoing the front shocks hydraulic seals and some new inners at the moment, will get a fresh coat of paint too.

Pictures to follow:

Some parts on order at BMW, should receive in about 3 weeks. Here's some pics of the old shock seals and new ones.

Also bought new dust seals for the throttle bodies. It's the small touches that make the difference...

Bought a new rear tyre, Pirelli Speed Demon 120/90/18, my goodness the price of bike tyres are ridiculous.

This is so true.
3 years ago I could buy a SET of new Michelins for R2k, last year just the rear tyre cost me R2k. The prices have rocketed.....

Good to hear it is running, congrats!
My front tire that I bought the weekend was 2500. Almost had a heart attack.

Any updates?

Just finished wrapping the wiring harness in cloth/fabric tape.

The fuel injectors are ready for a coat of paint too.

I've installed the new hydraulic seals in the shocks and have refilled them with new oil. All the drain and filler plugs are torqued so now it's just in need of some paint.

Of all the cafe racers I have seen that is the best looking. Saw it a while ago on pintres, think it's a K100?

Love how the bike is starting to take shape! Thought I would share what my girlfriends dad has recently completed.

Rear brakes have been set and adjusted. New rubbers for the foot pedals and gear shift lever.

Few odds and ends ordered from BMW. Should be here in a couple weeks. Ordering some of the big stuff too, as funds become available, like brake and clutch lever /master cylinder kit, clip on handle bars, cnc grips and clip on mirrors, headlight, tail light, universal switch set, Throttle mechanism etc...

Still a long way to go but she's coming together.
