You have obviously worked hard to create your vision. Some will say you are on track to a very nice custom, others will say why do that to a really nice original bike? I wish I could find a bike like that for such a good price.

I agree :)
There is always 2 different point of view..
But i've a r1200r 2009 and i don't need another original bmw.
I would to find a r100 original and here i can find for around 1500 dollars.
Maybe next year :)
