R1150GS ,a "project bike"

I need to keep the bike mobile,till I have some space in the workshop,but it doesn't stop me pulling bits off,
Lenses and bulb holders off,

Remove zip ties,and remove wiring from rear

Remove rack,lighting assy ,mudguard and pannier rails

I've just subscribed . So how does that work , do I get e mails telling me progress ? Not done it before but love these threads

Round to the front,screen, cockpit trim,headlamp,indicators,beak and tank off.
Cut off zip ties and start disconnecting the wiring

Few more bits off

And more

Bike getting smaller,pile of bits getting bigger

Enough for today

How's it going Mikey.

been on hols so not done much on this one,back on it in a few days

was that kirkcaldy in fife mikey? I'm sure I was watching this for sale at some point and kicked myself for missing it. ended up paying more for s scruffier 1100 (if it's the same bike)

Update

As time moves on and Mikeyboy is a very busy man, I thought I'd updated this thread with a few photos.

Mike and I were planning a project with this bike, which turned out to be a bit prohibitive because of costs. So I decided to keep the bike myself, and asked Mike to make it my keeper.

You'll see the photos below, they are the only ones I have but you'll see how things have moved on.

Looking very nice Tufty, imo best of the modern gs to keep. Mikes doing a lovely job.
Btw when are you next there. I'd like to see it/ you and chat to Mike about some work on mine.

I can't believe that's the bike I saw on the service day back in late March. It looks amazing!

Have the wheels been powder coated and re-built? (Along with a load of other parts powder coated, of course).

Looks close to completion
