Title: Girly 'Battlecat' rescued from the breakers!
Post by: thelonious on March 24, 2023, 05:45:27 AM
This poor 955i was in a shocking state when I got it from a guy in my bike club for a few quid. Look at it now!

Work done includes valves re-shimmed, replacement clutch, replacement exhaust system, replacement shock (NOS 885i shock with 955i spring and custom mount), bike lowered and both stands altered, front wheel blasted and powdercoated, all bearings replaced, brakes completely overhauled, lots of stripping and painting, electrical mods, tyres, full service... All DIY except the powdercoating.

You've done a mountain of work, a credit to you.
Not many out there these days have the patience nor skill to take on a "restoration"  :thumbsup

That's some fine work there  well done in jeering the tigger on the road.

(Edit: not sure where 'jeering' came from, was meant to be 'getting'. Think auto-correct was playing that day)

I see you haven't re-instated the crash bars
