Hey Speedy, how 'bout one of these? The ideal rally machine?
Advertised on vintagebike.co.uk
1943 BMW R75 with dual ammo trailers.
In Belgium. A snip at 18,500 Euros.

You are the first one who likes the colour!
I swapped it for a trike frame, then added three inches to the swingarm as the 16 inch wheel was offset by an inch, and have now brought it back inline.
I have not done much more to it as I am waiting for the wheel spindle to come back,as that is also about three inches wider as well.
I did put some struts on the back though.

Yeah, love the wheels, though personally I might've gone with plain black for the bodywork for greater contrast with maybe some matching yellow pinstriping to tie the yellow into the black. It's quirkily stylish, which is why I like it. It isn't trying to be a Harley clone. Cool. |

I was planning to go black, and might keep the yellow wheels. The bloke I got it from attacked the whole thing with a rattle can, then left it in his garden for a year.
I don't want a posh custom, just something to ride till my trike is finshed.

Just out of initerest, what is your considered opinion of this version?
Wheels are 14inch, Ford 4 1/2inch PCd, possibly off aConsul or similar.

I was going to look for a rascal axle, which is the same PCD as those Ford wheels, but going by the comments on the 100%Biker forum the gearing is crap.
If I do trike it, it will be Reliant with Morris Minor wheels.
Also don't wanna rake it as I would be making a bolt on-bolt off subframe and would like to keep the frame standard.
