my 888 strada

henk wrotehere some pic's of my beetle. it is a '67,it has a 1776 engine in it now wich is real fun on the road and suprise alot of cars on the traffic lights. we are building a fire breating 2110 IDA powered engine as we speak😁 the new engine should be able to embarrass porsches and ferrari's when i launch it at the traffic lights. it has real fuchs wheels,the fronts are rare 4,5" wheels wich where only produced in '67. hope you like it.😄 henk!!!

I would argue that that is a 66 model. My Dad had one and I learned to drive in it when I was 10. In Australia, at least, the '67 had the different tail-lights with the flat bottom, and "1300 Custom" on the rear panel.

henk wrotei bought a carbon/kevlar fuel tank for my 888 today. yes,i know no corse or SPS tank but at only 75!!! worth the gamble. and i bought a 50mm exhaust system as well don't know wich brand.

Lovely!

Ever tried to cut Kevlar? My supplier sells a carbon/kevlar weave. You need a VERY sharp pair of scissors and a lot of patience ...

They sell different shears to cut it with, one side of the blade has serrations to stop the material from sliding away.

it is a '67 but with the wrong decklid,the cabrio decklid is indeed from a '66.
a '67 has a "half long" decklid and the some one year only stuff.
when my new engine is ready i gonna post some pic's of it here as well.

henk

hey Phil,

thanks,that's the plan gonna put some tires on the wheels so i can really start then.

henk!!!

henk

the forks and brakes are on the bike.
gonna have to change the fender holders a bit as the fender is rubbing the wheel.
also still have to change the clip-ons to the alu ones i have laying and change the brake and clutch levers to radial ones,if any one has a radial clutch lever for sale please let me know.
next then is the steering damper and the Y-air intakes.

henk!!!

henk

some more work done today.
the carbon Y-airintakes are mounted whit the dash.
still has to change a few bolts.
i also gonna have to change the brake and clutch lever to radial.
the brake lever is touching the dash,shis could also be beacause i have two seperate brake lines coming from the brake lever.

hauge

It looks great!
Are the tripple clamps standard, machined to fit the ohlins?

henk

thanks,stock tripple clamps not machined.
this ohlins had the right diameters to place in the stock clamps.

henk!!!

Jasper

That looks superb mate. You should be well pleased.

henk

thanks i'am.
i hope to put the radial brake and clutch pump with the ohlins steering damper next week.
like building it but i look forword to when it is done to take it for a ride.

henk!!!

henk

today i fitted the radial clutch pump and radial brake pump together with some new hand grips.
i also test fitted the carbon fairing but that will need some work to fit nice on the Y-shape intakes.

henk!!!
