... we've discovered within the last couple of years that they're just as much fun on forest service roads as a modern GS!
Same bike with "convertible" RS fairing I installed last spring. (a lot easier to do than you'd think)
Probably the hardest part was the handlebar and controls and cables?
Finally got around to completing the conversion of my 1983 R100 to an R100RT. Pulled the Vetter Windjammer V of and converted to an RT. The lowers were modified by the PO so there is no need to remove the headers to take them off. The trailing edges were cut. I smoothed them before I had the whole thing painted. Also had the rear fender, side covers and Luftmeister saddle tanks painted.
A new tinted windshield from ClearView is next and a leather Corbin (this one is getting pretty worn out).
I'd be interested in pinstriping/no pinstriping opinions. And if I should pinstripe it, what color(s).
Yes, I bead blasted the valve covers, they were in pretty rough shape. Then two coats of engine enamel followed by 3 coats of bumper paint. Cooked them on bricks atop my woodburning stove, then rubbed them with Mother's to get a little sheen.Very nice job,she looks beautiful. I would pinstripe the bike. Blue or white.. Those valve covers look nice,did you repaint them?

Ok, that was a suggestion TricycleRob made too.Nice bike Tony! And good job on the work you've done. George suggests blue or white pinstripes and I agree.

The original pinstriping was white with a small red (common on R100's I've seen). I am leaning towards white with blue.yeah, definitely needs striping- that is just too much black. Light blue, white (or both together, ala motorsport styling) or gold. Red could do it too.
