1100EF

[IceKat]

This EF came up for sale locally and a couple of hours later im back in Air Cooled fold   

It`s a bit rough in places wheel rims, frame, sun/frost bleached inner fairng from being stored outside for the last few years, but does have new tryes, brakes, new oil, filter etc by a local shop last year. Also an alleged engine rebuild 4000km ago, looks at least to have visibley new gaskets.  I bought it as none runner, once home drained the carbs/tank of condensation charged the battery, freed the clutch off and  its a runner. 

The wife is now threatning to confiscate my van keys..........   

 

 

Stylish mirrors and heated grips helped seal the deal ........................

 

 

Not Beautiful............... Hepco Becker rack and panniers, rear guard and number plate light are truely Hideous on these 

 

An Ohlins shock was a most pleasant surprise 

Some nice screws holding the tank rubbers in place, footrest rubber missing and lower fairng v piece is missing 

 

 

Now i just have to decide it`s fate !

Ohlins shock and those mirrors. Wonder what kind of medicine the previous owner ate. Nice find

That's the color of the first ever 1150 I bought back in 86'..... once you strip all the gayness off it .... it will be top notch as intended !

Good question Toni, i must admit when it came up for sale my first thought was just to rape it of it`s engine, then sell the rest off in parts  But once home cleaned up a little.        Got it running, , removed some of the crap, ridden it a couple of times.  It`s growing on me , so for the time  being i shall keep tidying her up,  look out for a decent  4-1 pipe.                    Possible bandit front end, rear

Look around the forum for some inspiration     

It is also proving to be a lucky bike , two short rides out have resulted in a tip on another EF,  the second trip scored me an ice cream and a Yoshi  presumably slabside pipe.
