rebuilding a 55W in Buenos Aires

[55W1985]

So Oliver sent me a 10KG heavy box to me with some Tenere stuff & bicicle items.
Among them where the long awaited front rack!!!!!!
And a nice exhaust header.
Mine had a dent that im shure it was reducing output!

And here the new one after carefull cleaning,sanding and paqinting with "Rust Oleum" high temp paint.1200°C.Best so far of all,even VHC.

Also installed the lately total rebuild White Power shock! Now i can adjust both ways! And works really fine!!!!!

Forgot to mention that i will do a support bracket for that reservoir on the back......

Hi Karl,
your bike still looks good!
Funny my little present fits your requirements.
Is that really the header I was sending to you?
Looks bloody nice!

Just used my A2 bolts and new paint.......and the bike needs a nice clean too.If you look close youl notice it.Been riding under rain those weeks.

So as told before the rare front rack is here! Thanks Oli
As it was red(whitewash faded) and i like more the black on this bike,blasted it and now its satin black.

The optic mesh was not there,I will do one in plastic to add with zippers.

It has a nice design and offer a big contact zone.

As stated on the very beguinn in 2010 this bike was inspired in Mark Mezos famous 3AJ resto!
Here both views. Before after.....
