|

OK, with a low expectation but a lot of optimism...
Have decided I will not be updating the 750 motor fitted to one of my DB2 project bikes so revised ‘wants list is now
- Seat/tank unit (or just seat and bum stop)
- petrol flap and set lock if not fitted to above
- Petrol tank
- DB3/4 frame caps (with machined ‘ Bimota B’ as per post below)
- clip ons (original)
Thanks or all the offers so far which includes some of the above and others I'm keeping an eye on.
PS these are for a rebuild, not to keep as spares.[/b]20th Oct:- HOORAY!! Now have all the main bits although my 'outstanding' list still has many small parts on it but non are 'bimota specific'. Phew!!
Once again thanks for the help and leads along the way. _________________ Not as many bikes as I would like and already too many to keep up with!

Yeah, I saw the French unit. About the best I’ve seen in the last few weeks I’ve been looking. Most have been in USA and Full clocks/panel. . A couple of rough units in UK only. Was spoilt on my last resto cause I got a low mileage unit in UK for only £40!
Early days yet (he says!)
Cheers
Got some more photos and seller confirmed all working fine when taken off last bike so NOW MINE! _________________ Not as many bikes as I would like and already too many to keep up with!

Good finds there Rolli….as ever.....I do like this "ebay GErmany" website....but is it intended for within GErmany only...Or for local pick up only and NOT for items to be posted?? Reason I ask is that these items dont show up if I search Ebay.de....or Ebay..the world if I set my parameters to ALL items everywhere?
Tank is a DB2 unit....Forks are 43mm....DB2 are 41mm so you would need to change the yokes to get them to fit....No wheel spindle included but thats probably the easiest part to get made.....Nice forks...that have been Tin gold treated also... |

And heres your spare front disc for the other side of Junior...and yup...this is exact same items as DB2 uses....So....its just the rear wheel and seat and bump stop you now need...and you know where the last 2 are...you'll have to "break the bank" and just ruddy phone the bloke up....its generally the only way to sort things out...Oh...And I know where theres a rear wheel...wink wink....SO....youre all done...that must a Bimota World record....Less than 24 hrs for such a list of Unobtainable items...all sorted

Oh...as regards the brake disc...It may be close to its limit....I recall theres a 4.5mm wear limit stamped on the edges and this one says its at 4.85....But...TBH...thats probably got another 10,000 miles left in it...I can check if you want |

Hi Rolli
Thanks for the leads. I do try and keep in touch with Kleinanziegen but its always annoying that you can only order the results as either
- newest results
-cheapest first
The last option means scrolling backwards to finf larger items...very frustrating.....
anyway
Tank is very expensive (for me) so I will pass for now
I really only want a half fairing. I've found a replica maker but posted just in case someone has an original gathering dust (Ha Ha!)
The forks look nice but I would have to check further to check suitability.
The DB2 FE came in both 41mm (Oscam wheel) and 43mm (antera wheel) fork versions . The 'gabelbrucke@ were very different but I'm not sure what reason for change was. To me it looks like there is enough material to machine out the standard 41mm forks but then again maybe not worth risking.
I'll wait until I get my old bike to check! What I dream is that someone crashed their (41mm fork) bike on RHS only and that that they have LHS still. To Own a Bimota needs optimism/luck/persistence I think. I will send message to the seller in any case so we have a contact for later. _________________ Not as many bikes as I would like and already too many to keep up with! |

|

I’m sure someone here said that cEntrepoint hot on a scheme to import loads of bikes broken down so that they were rated as ‘spares’ rather than complete bikes to get around the (dumb?) Aus import rules. No probs with that but they do seem to delight in only partially rebuilding the bikes and then selling off the ‘extra’ bits to make extra bucks. Shite really but Heh ho!! _________________ Not as many bikes as I would like and already too many to keep up with! |

What you need one of those for? youre "just" doing DB2's aren't you? Or is it for an open clutch cover with central Bimota "b" frame plug aka DB5R/DB6R and Brian?...I can get you one if you want....or just buy the 2 that centrepoint have for sale in Oz on their ebay site |
