[natehate]

tj, jack, moonshine and anyone else interested
eould you guys be into a sort of swap meet group search
kinda we give each other a list of very specific things we are looking for and if someone finds a good deal at a swap grabs it for the other?
just a thought

[Moonshine]

Nate,

Just post a list of stuff you're looking for and I'll gladly help if I can.  The only thing I'm currently looking for is a 130(?) tooth 1" drive belt.  It's been a good while since I broke mine but I haven't mustered up the gumption to buy a new belt to get Black Betty back on the road yet!

5.75 bates bottom mount head light with decent chrome is my main target right now
also a 18" 40 spoke high shouldered rim (probably off a sportster)

Here is mine. Wrenchmonkees x Kawasaki W800.  Pics not taken by me.

[Giles]

Like that….

[injunjack]

may I ask how much you had to pay to Wrenchmonkees to get that done?

Just curious….

[Gene46]

I won't get into specifics, but here is a link if you are interested in finding out more information.

[injunjack]

OK, hadn't looked that specific page earlier.

Prices seem ahem…a bit steep. I'm just thinking what I paid to customize my W650...;)

[Bluegrass]

G46, looks like they do really nice work - great pics.  I'm sure you will enjoy it.

BMW have built themselves a ninetieth birthday present…

It's basically an R1200R with the forks off an S1000RR, and added bike porn.

More in the press release and press pack.

The FT on Cafe Racers!

[summ3rhays]

Yep, drop bars and different mirrors and that Bimmer is just about perfection.

[Graeme]

Yeah, the Beemer needs clip-ons.

The forthcoming Bell Bullitt helmet looks pretty cool. It should be around $400, with both DOT and ECE variants.

[tatmantall]

Or just chop the mirrors.

That helmet is nice….
