ITS FINISHED !!!
The shed built (quite literally in a shed on the Isle of Harris) BMW R65LS (missing all the LS bits:-( ) is completed. Passed its MOT yesterday. Did I say pass or sail through with flying colours ? Oh yes it was the latter.
I had never so much as changed the oil in anything and this thing was fooked ! Stripped to frame. Rebuilt carbs, fuel taps, new lines, cleaned and stripped inside of tank, rebuilt entire braking system (all new), sorted wiring, cleaned, treated and painted the frame etc etc etc. Hundreds of hours between 4am and 7am over 7 months and it lives and rides brilliantly. Here’s a few pics (the after ones are first !) to prove that anyone can have a go at this !!!
