There's no proof yet Fred although he needs a mental health day after fighting DMV on BMW registration. I'll let him fill us in.

I'm surprised Carver got all the jig-saw puzzle plastic back together...though we haven't seen any pics yet!

Some peeps judge moments by family. That's cool. But for some reason. I remember time by motobikes. In 79 I bought a KZ1300 6 cylinder. 74 was a TT550. 91 an FLHTCU.


So why do I not recall when I bought Naomi.

But she is closer now, almost 18 months later. Approximate time line. I'm not good with calendars. And I took my time on Naomi. Do it once, do it right. I'll have complete farkle info later. For now, the first ride post-farkling.

I am taking her to Kal Off Road Racing to re-enforce the ClearWater Lights experiment, sponsored by me, by running Sevina's on top and Darla's on the bottom. Yes. I had custom brackets made to run Darla's bottom-side. Don't ask ClearWater for them.

So here we go.

Sevina's on top. Darla's on bottom.


I admit, I trailered Naomi to the street. Finally, the county decided to water/grade the 3 mile dirt road and it was a quagmire.
I like Beemer Don's Bear. It will stay.


So much work. Hours. Wire it once. Not good enough. Do it again. And Again. This bike is clean. Solid. Ready for CBA use.


Well, except for those damn-*** heavy Sevina's. They rattle like a steppled on snake. So off to Kal Off Road.


Yep. Trailer Queen.


This will be my last FJR.

Proudly representing Don Stanley, BeemerDon's, JSNF!

I'll keep you posted with the Sevina bracket re-enforcements.

Tx for following along....

So, what's with the left headlight???

So, what's with the left headlight???

. . . and the blue masking tape still covering the tank?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A Tanji style secondary fuel tank? I recall someone else offering a similar tank build, but what do you have there, Don? Looks like a LD bike with a lot of goodies, and surely not a Candybutt certified mount.

Now that we got some pics, how about a complete jewelry list?

Beemerdons would be proud of what you done.

The blue painters tape on the tank is what we call Carver tape - prevents scratches. I always thought it was a lot like the individuals who put seat covers on new car seats...

I use an Eastern Beaver headlight cut-out harness which enables cutting out the low or high beam to save current. I forgot to switch the light back on after functional testing.

Complete jewelry list soon. The Tanji style tank made by Mike Langford at Maple Farkles. I bought this one used from forum member Griff!

Yeah, well you citified urban dwellers got asphalt or concrete all the way to your princess garages.. I have 3 miles of dirt road that kicks up little pieces of decomposed granite that rub under the tank bag scratching the hell outta the paint!
