Description

This build has been a labor of love for 3 years. The bike started as a 1978 R100/7. It’s been transformed into the custom beauty you see before you.

Work Done:

1. Replaced old front end with a Ducati GT1000 setup from the Triple tree, earings, nd shock arms to the axel, ub, reak calipers, otors and headlamp. It now rides like a modern performance bike while looking like a vintage badass.

2. New Siebenrock nikasil cylinders, tainless pushrod tubes and pistons - piston rings and wrist pins

3. New extra-capacity oil pan for cooler operation

4. New gaskets throughout – From oil pan to drive shaft to cylinders, ransmission, tc. She leaks nothing.

7. Complete and perfect R100/7 tank polished, lear-coated, ealed by http://www.fueltankservices.com/about.html using a proprietary and absolutely amazing technology. The tank will NEVER rust from the inside.
