1978 BMW R100

3. It doesn't seem like too many DUers do.
This is turning out to be a very lame thread. :(

20. Cool
I wasn't sure if I had the correct one up and sure enough I don't think I had the right model, so I had to change it. Apparently, I need further lessons on these things. :silly:

14. I love the Ducatis
I have been dying for a 900 Monster for a while. Not the prettiest Ducati, but a nice machine, fairly priced.

16. lol
I'ts a bone shaker all right. I need to get off my ass and put it back together. The main differences between mine and the one in the pic are the exhausts, mine are little chopped shorty pipes and the rear fender, I have a "ducktail". Other than that, the look pretty much the same.

17. My Bonnie has straight pipes too.
It has the stock frame though.

Mikunis, electronic ignition, and sweet red/purple metalic and pearl paint.

19. sweet
love that straight pipe sound. Yours is a '76 so I bet it has a left side foot shift. That's something I'm crafting while mine is down for rebuild, control crossovers so my shifter and brake are where they ought to be!

21. Yeah it is the Americanized version.
That actually caused a bit of a snag with the pipes. I had to make 'em shorter than I wanted cuase they got in the way of the kick starter.

BTW . . . that bike was rebuilt in my livingroom in 98. :P
