He did some interesting stuff but even when he was a privateer he was well supplied by BMW
He rode the rotary engined bikes before going back to BMW
I tried on the front of an L300 van in 1988, it just fucked my exhaust and the threads on the cylinder head
I was looking at the twin to that bike last week just down the road from work
I screwed the engine back together on a late cammer that had one side knocked off. Bit of welding on the cases and a s/h barrel and (lower compression) piston off ebay. Went OK but someone will get a surprise when it needs work, LOL.
Incidentally, if anyone knows the trick to keeping both cam chains on the crank while you button each side up, I'd like to hear it. I managed with a couple of pieces of bicycle innertube slid down the chains but I'm sure there's a factory tool.
Lol! Looks like a school metalshop project

Which reads to me as: there is no way they would give it a VIN plate without spending a lot of coin....
there is a whole site that does kits for those bikes.
the café kits actually end up looking okay compared to what the std bike looks like.

Don't you look at my accountant.
He's the only one I've got.
Was up for Buy It Now for $26500USD with no takers.
Now has bids at over $18k USD.
Nice bike. Worth that sort of money? I don't know.
