AN AWESOME 1977 BMW R100/7

I spotted this way-cool 1977 BMW R100/7 at a local show this weekend. The bike was modded into a cafe’ style by a chap named Bob Long in Sevierville, Tennessee. Here’s what he did:

Completely disassembled the frame and cleared all unnecessary mounting lugs
Painted frame and components with PPG PR4 Red.
Painted side covers, tank and rear fairing in PPG WA600R Black and PPG GAN Silver
Rebuilt forks and stiffened with 8mm bushings.
Replaced rear shocks with Hagon SA adjustable coil-overs.
Added Burley Cafe’ rear tail section and custom seat cover.
Added Cat Eye tail light and BR sport mini turn signals (front and back).
Added European spec “low bars.”
Added “Pea-Shooters” slip on mufflers and header wrap.
Deleted rear fender and shortened front fender.

I think the results are fantastic… I love this bike!
