BMW R80 Scrambler - Part 8: Subframe, mufflers and brakes.

  • PROJECT UPDATE!
    I installed the passenger footpegs, replaced the front brake hose, refreshed the battery box and installed an older style brake pedal make room for the exhaust pipe.
    After cleaning up the rear end (part 6) I had to wait for the ordered subframe and seat to arrive. It did.
    That made everything move forward again: rear fender, licence plate holder and light and mounts for the indicators could then be made, painted and assembled.
    I like the idea of a modular system like BMW designed it, so the subframe will still be attached with only 4 bolts and 1 connector for the lights.
    Maybe I will even get to build a separate 'travel' subframe with a 1-person seat and a fixed luggage rack...
    The wheels got taken care of, but not as thoroughly as the tank. I planned on getting them powdercoated but due to covid19 that would take at least until half june. I decided to paint them myself and I'll get them powdercoated next winter. Maybe even later if the DIY paintjob looks good enough.

      Thanks! But I´m certainly not qualified enough to tell people how they should do things :-)

    I will be working on my 77 R100 this spring and was wondering where you obtained most of your conversion parts such as your fender, subframe etc? Very nice build by the way.

    Hey Thomas. The rear fender you're installing, is that from Vonzeti aswell? How was the delivery time from them?

    Is that the same subframe and seat that you used on your previous r80?

    • @ThomasC
      @ThomasC  Před 4 lety

      Exactly the same!

    Did you sand the rims before painting them black??? I have the same model and like to do the rims also black by myself! Cheers! Andy

    Hi Thomas, I have the same
    Vonzeti sub. What size bolts did you use to secure to the bike? I misplaced my hardware and don’t want to get the wrong parts. Thanks

    HI Thomas! Where i can buy subframe and other??
    Have you an Instagram account ?

    • @ThomasC
      @ThomasC  Před 3 lety +2

      I don't have an Instagram account for the bike. The subframe and seat are a package that is made by Vonzeti.com, but I ordered mine from a dutch shop where they had one in stock the time I was building, since Vonzeti had very long waiting lines.
