FUEL R100 TRACKER HP2
Based on a BMW R100 RS from 1978 the Fuel R100 Tracker#2 was commissioned by Brendan from Scotland. The main idea was to build a bike similar than the Fuel R100 Tracker we built some time ago but unlike that one, we were looking for a more racing look.
The fact of painting the tank and seat in different colors was done on purpose to give that racing look that we were looking for, in any case, the bike must have a small tank, solo seat, high exhaust pipe and keep it as simple and light as possible.
The tank comes from a Kawasaki KH100, a small bike from the seventies that fits very well and stylises the shape of the bike. On the other hand, we wanted to improve the performances of the bike. We started changing the front fork for a BMW F650 one, a Mikuni carbs , K&N air filters, a rear Ohlins suspension, fast throttle grip, etc.
One of the details of the bike refers to the ignition system. The bike has the ignition key on the left side of the bike but it starts with a car start button located under the speedometer.
The bike has a lot of new parts designed by us and machined by a specialist...speedometer holder, bracket indicators, etc.and other handmade parts as the rear frame, the tubular structure under the seat, high exhaust pipes, etc.
We have placed some parts from the original bike as the BMW pin from a BMW Rally in 1977 just to remind the origin of the bike. The bike it handles really well and having lost so many kilos you feel much more strongly the 70hp.

..Con la base de una BMW R100 RS de 1978 hemos construido para Brendan, un escocés apasionado a las motos clasicas, una moto con una clara inspiración en las motos de Flat Track. La idea era construir una moto similar a la Fuel R100Tracker HP que hicimos hace un tiempo pero con un look mas racing.
La moto debía tener un deposito pequeño, asiento monoplaza, escapes altos y dejarla lo más ligera posible. Por otro lado trabajamos en mejorar las prestaciones de la moto cambiando todo el tren delantero por el de una BMW F650, los carburadores Bing se cambiaron por unos Mikuni, filtros de aire K&N, amortiguadores traseros Ohlin, puño de gas rápido, etc.
El depósito proviene de una Kawasaki KH100, con un trabajo de pintura excelente, encaja perfectamentew con la linea y el estilo de moto que buscabamos. Otro detalle de la moto es el sistema de arranque con un botón de encendido de coche situado debajo del velocímetro o un pequeño pin de un Rallye en Escocia de 1977 que llevaba la moto original.
La moto tiene varias piezas mecanizadas como soportes del faro e intermitentes y otras piezas artesanales como el subchasis, los colectores, etc.
La moto se comporta de forma excelente y habiendo reducido el peso y sus mejoras en el tren delantero y trasero sus 70 caballos parecen muchos más!
