A friend bought a 1985 K100 brick for a cafe racer project however it proved a little beyond him ....... he had sold the fairings, purchased headlight, LED indicators and a u frame for the cafe racer seat, but that was about it. I offered to take over the project for his costs to date and now I have a Brick.
At present just planning the project and then will start the full strip. Aiming for something like the attached as the finished product.

Asking because I'm curious, not because I'm buying!

I guess knowing that they may be going to revitalize someone's "bring it back to original state" dream, rather than a bin somewhere, is a bit comforting for those of us who like to keep it original.
I wonder if syntax is better with the negative before the positive or the other way around.

And yet there they are, in the photograph, as big as life!!Certainly, reading can be bothersome. :laughing4-giggles:

I think negative before positive, because current travels towards the negative while charge travels away. If you don't have any electrons in motion, no current, no voltage. The electron surplus starts out on the negative terminal, then they flow to the positive. Thus, negative first, most especially in syntax. Right?
Now, with that settled, what does "deloop" mean in the context of bricks?

Right?the first and sometimes only thing wannabee cappuccino racers do to a brick to try to make a huge heavy german bike look like a small bore british bike. it is the amputation of the metal frame "loop" behind the seat.

It stops being what it was designed to be, instead best described as a fashion accessory.
I expect my bias is obvious.

Some of the guys here have owned and ridden K bikes for ever and some of them are even helpful :laughing1:.
Completing my build was a lot easier because of this resource.
So welcome aboard and good luck.
By the way when they refer to de-looping they mean the complete removal of the rear end and either chopping or replacing with a short hoop at the rear end. Like yours :johnny

When you de-loop the moto your downunder neighbor (http://www.motobrick.com/index.php/topic,13444.msg119924.html#msg119924) is collecting the unwanted frame tubing for his new hobby
Good luck with your project
