Ok here's my 80 G/S
It started life as a R80ST (82),
and after a bit of work looks like this,
,
When I bought it, the tank, frame, and just about everyting was paited with a brush, either white, black or silver. The silver was nogal roof paint.
Well I stripped it down,
Powder Coated the frame Blue,
The R100 engine was already running nicely so I did not open it,
Replaced Oil seals on gearbox while it was open,
New Clutch plate, as I had no idea how many km,s its done.
Oil seals on the final drive,
Cleaned everything properly,
re-built the carbs,
re-covered the seat.
Koni rear shock. Feels a bit soft though.
AND fitted a F650 Front end. I only had to have a shorter stem made for the steering head. The R80 and 650 steeering head bearings are exactly the same. just the stem on the R80 is 20mm shorter.
Also fitted 21" Dakar wheel, disc, and Caliper with new braided hose.
aftermarket front fender.
Screen: aftermarket Dakar screen, home made brackets.
AND VOILA, a buautifully running sort of R80/100/650 G/S.
PS. I just about had to force the Tank from an "unknown" party at Gun Point, as these Basic / Kalahari type tanks are really hard to find jhere in SA.
By the way, the stickers are actually original Kalahari stickers, don't even ask where i got them.
Still to do:
Suspension travel, maybe Dakar or MX frotn shocks,
Spacer and longer drive shaft rear. i already have the spacer. Just need to find another drive shaft to modify.
