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.

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.

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….

[Finn666]

saw this honda in st.gallen yesterday…while on a walk, trying to get the way too much consumed alcohol out of my body, before driving back home to bern (2h)

Nice lid.
