BMW CAFE RACER R75/7

This is the BMW R75/7 Cafe racer build. Its been in progress for some time. I wanted to do the frame stiffening and the stiffened swing arm. The tank will be aluminum as well as the tail piece. I will be showing more on this build in a while.

side bracing turned out well-the sockets have internal tapers that seat on tapered bosses welded to the frame.

Final drive in place to add rigidity while I welded.

Tacked and ready for beads

DOM tubing, torch bent over a mandrel

Tank coming together, its quite large.
