I picked up this sadly neglected and horribly abused '77 R100/7 on Pender Island BC for $1500 back in Sep '09, to be my winter project. So far, I've stripped her down to the very last nut and washer and am restoring her from the ground up. It's an expensive and slow-going process, but you can follow if you're interested at: http://s41.photobucket.com/albums/e293/Margaree/R100%20PROJECT/ and http://s41.photobucket.com/albums/e293/Margaree/R100%20REBUILD/ Happy New Year ! _________________________ Thunderbird 1: '93 K1100LT Thunderbird 2: '86 K100RS Thunderbird 3: '02 R1150RT Thunderbird 4: '77 R100/7 Thunderbird 5: '86 K75C

Mighty Manfred Member Registered: 04/30/09 Posts: 169 Loc: The Swamp known as Houston	Whoo-hooo! I'm encouraged by the number of airheads on this forum. Let's start documenting and sharing tips on keeping these bikes running. _________________________ 1987 R80RT "There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus." Romans 8:1

Terrific looking bike. Nicely done! Thanks Vinny, I had a local guy in our vintage club paint it for me. I asked him if he had ever done a BMW smoke paint job. He told me he had never done one but always wanted to. I supplied him with lots of photos I collected off the web and the body parts. Months and months later i had my paint done. I basically told him to call me when "he" was happy with it. Mike _________________________ The good thing is, your damn motor can't read.
