1977 r100/s

Undergoing restoration. Color is not final, but keeps it from rusting after sand blasting parts. Painted the plastics to match so it looks legit for now.

I think it is called a Meyer, or Mayer....I really like it...It breaks up the chest air very nicely, and still give an open bike look and feel...and it seems really solid.
 
I just did a look up...It is Maier Windscreens..Here is another view....

Sah-weet!!

A '72 with side reflectors on the head light ears? Is it a long wheel base machine?

Our VINs must be pretty close together. My Dec.'72 build-date LWB is VIN 2999159. Sold as a '73.

Thanks! Are side reflectors not included on a 72? I can no longer tell what is stock vs interchangeable mods for these bikes during this period. There seemed to be a lot of minor tweaks at each part of the factory to dealer to owner chain. ;)

I was fortunate to find her in the condition I did, but even then it's been a 8+ month gauntlet of a learning experience getting her cleaned up and running.

She's a SWB bike. Not the best for long distance touring, but more than enough for my needs. ;)

I think I'm a year off from you. Built late '71 sold as a '72. Frankly, I'd take either one in a heartbeat ;) Most enjoyable motorcycle I've ever had the fortune to ride.
