Exmoor Pink down here!

Blog updated - got all bodywork on today after a bit of soldering, then wheeled her outside for a looksie.

Very pleased with the results

thanks for the positive comments, will definitely include some wider shots when all the panels are fitted.

Will put new black R1200S stickers on tail unit, then "live with it" for a while to decide if it needs any more graphics adding.

less is more!

blog updated - bodywork day!

pipes hopefully will go a tasteful blue fading into yellow

Popsky - my rates are not too bad!

Would be good to meet up and go for a hoon over Exmoor into Devon - will let you know when I am finished.

I have created a blog on what I am up to regards rebuilding my previously yellow R12 - much easier for me than posting pics on the forum!

I hope you enjoy it and find it interesting

Just had bodywork painted - handed in on Monday and collected today! Minehead Auto Body repairs on Mart Road. Quality is spot on, BMW paint code colours used.

Will post pics tomorrow of all my nice shiny bits, wheels etc...... Christmas has come early

Cheers for this - will call in next week to see him

thanks for image Phil - I toyed with that shade of blue but have opted for the solid blue used on the HP2 for the wheels - 5002 code.

Where did you get your bike painted- recommend anybody in Minehead / Taunton area?

Sorted out photos - have added 3 more showing progress so far. Previous rebuilds have taught me the importance of bagging & labelling everything! Bike needs a thorough going over as after 51k miles some bits are tired. Front discs are 0.5mm under wear limit and very badly lipped. Wheels had blis...

Well I have stripped my R12S down - pics show her naked! There are a few broken bolts to sort and I will probably replace lots of them with stainless. Suspension is off being serviced, wheels are being powder coated, rear subframe and a few other bits also being powder coated. Exhaust will need lots...

Brilliant! Thanks for the links.

Popsky - I am near Wiliton. It's a small world!

Will post some pics of my bike before I start and as it progresses. Weather forecast is ok for tomorrow so I will get her out for a quick blat before i start taking her to bits

sorry - can you replace just the outside rubber grip which is worn, heated part seems ok.

thanks

Dash warning DWA! is active which the book tells me is the alarm battery.

Are they easy to replace or is it a dealer job?

heated grips - very worn after 51K - can you replace just the grips?

thanks
