I'm parting out my 1977 R100RS, let me know if you need anything.
Folks,
I picked this bike up in April 2016. Finally, on September 1, I got started on it. I had to finish up work on the 1975 R75/6 "S" update and completed that in July.
I wrote up a project page and added my build plan. You can find these here:
My goal is to complete this build by September 1, 2017 so I can ride the bike to the 40th anniversary get together in Pennsylvania later in September.
I have repaired the damage to the fairing panels and I'll be writing about how I did that soon.
I hope this material is helpful to those working on a first year R100RS. Here is what I started with and where I am so far.

Sure looks nice. I made it to Sipaup this year, but did not see you. Did you make it? I would have love to seen this bike, it looks great.
Well, I was close by in Taos but I wasn't able to go to the rally due to other family commitments.
Best.
Brook.
Brook,
Looking good! I'm at the same place, ready for paint. I PM'd you tonight.
Was shocked at the price of paint kit! Are you going stock color, if so what source
did your painter use? Paint code, color info, if available.
Thanks
Jeff
Pardon my ignorance, and I couldn't hook up to your links, but why do you leave the mechanical advance unit in there? Is it so you can quickly revert to mechanical points?
The Dyna III uses the mechanical advance...the points are replaced by 1) pickups 180 degrees apart and 2) a donut with a magnetic spot which is affixed to the shaft of the mechanical advance and 3) a "brain" which interprets the signals from the pickups to open the circuit to the coils. His picture of the parts:

It does look like 3 of the 4 links Brook provided don't work.
Nice to see a fine old motorcycle being upgraded with modern components, without affecting the bike's character.
