Here is the top deck of the rear wheel well. it turned out pretty good we need to fiberglass the inside of the wheel well next.


So the main floor was used to make the sides and now it was time to cut out the floor to make the rear wheel well. This was the a bit messy but I did it outside and had the proper safety gear on (Mask, eye protection etc.).

Here is the 1200 cc motor! It is very large. I recently took off the alternator so I could remove the starter. The starter was just sitting there at a twisted angle it was not bolted to the intended mounts. Another reason to take the bike apart. Things that were amiss on the K1200 RS. I also hooked up a spring that was loose on the throttle return. Now I can figure out how to mount the engine to the frame.

  1. Hi, does the flying brick engine have a separate gearbox and conventional clutch like a BMW r motor, or is it integrated like a modern jap bike? I am wondering if it would be possible to split the 2 and mate the engine to a car gearbox, thus gaining a reverse?

    Love the build, keep it up!
