Yamaha BW200 and 350 restauration

[Röhrich]

Hi everyone,

One year ago I bought these beautifull big wheeled bikes. They
were used in a Monstertruck show in the Netherlands and Germany. Also
a Fatcat came with them, but that one was completely damaged.
We started with sandblasting an then they were powder coated.
The engines are also completely rebuild with al the bearings, seals, enz.
We also found some "Bigger" tires in Polen, and two new taillights
in Holland and Norway. The plastics are also all new from DCplastics,
and they fit really good. Now we only have to finish them, and then we
will get them road legal.

Nice restoration on your bikes . I have the whole fleet of bigwheels 80,200,350 . I am in the process of restoring my 1987 yamaha bw 350 . Keep up the good work .

[Scootertrash]

Nice work! I want a Big Wheel, but they don't come up for sale around here very much.

[atc350xer]

Beautiful work, nothing overlooked!

Hi,

I´m still looking for an option for the fatcat ( picture ).
I was looking for another engine, or parts to rebuild the engine.
What do you guys think?

[jb2wheels]

Nice work - looks fantastic!

You can get new plastics for the BW200? I had no idea!

When I had my 85, I could still get the tail light from Yamaha. Had to be 10+ years ago, though.

[jp212]

Very, very nice work!

[Röhrich]

Thanks, thanks.

The plastics are from DC, and the 2 new taillights I bought in Zeeland (NL) and Norway.
Now I´m just looking for the cover for the back of the battery/airfilter (BW200es), and parts for the engine of that
fatcat. I would like to rebuild that fatcat also, but the engine looks so bad. And the biggest problem is that I live in the Netherlands ( europe ), so
every little part I have to buy in the USA because fatcat´s were never sold in europe.
What shall I do?

Regards,

[Röhrich]

Your bikes are turning out very nice. You've done alot of really nice work. I have an 85 bw200 myself, and understand what a pain it can be to find some of the parts. I've actually found all my plastic as factory nos, except for the rear fender, which I'm still looking for. I would really like to have a bw350 though. Looking forward to seeing your bikes all finished.

[jp212]

What brand of paint and what color is it that you used to paint the gold rear wheel and hub? Again, very nice work. Your BWs are absolutely stunning!

[ATC-Eric]

Holy cow!!!! They look great. Thanks for sharing.

[Röhrich]

Hi,

JP212,
I don´t know. Every part is powdercoated, I just asked for gold and
the gave me random the same gold as original.

Regards,

[n10sivern]

Awesome job. I just got through tearing my bw350 down to each little part to sandblast. It's gonna be an adventure. Do you know what color of powder was used on the frames?

[Ghostv2]

How do they ride? I have never seen anyone with them before.

[Röhrich]

I asked for red and the gave differend options for it. I chose "feuerrot" firered, I think it is
the standard red and it looks exactly the same.
Its absolutely fantastic to ride them. When I was 16 the RV125 suzuki was new for me to ride with the big tires, but now
with 19 the bigwheel is even more fun, esspecialy the people with their crazy face when they see the bike.

[Röhrich]

Hey people,

I´m nearly finished with my Bw200. I only need to do some little things and then she´s ready for the road.
After more then 20 hours of sanding I used plastic renew for the gastank and it realy works and look shiny new.
I also got al the plastics from another Bw200N that we bought WITH road license in germany, and maybe the only one in germany.
For the Fatcat engine I ordered some parts, but still need allot of them, so if someone doesn´t need someting of their own parts,
please contact me. That would be nice.

Hey i have fatcat engine parts and i'm in the UK......PM me what you need.....

[ironchop]

very nice BWs.....great work!!

[jp212]

Awesome job. I just got through tearing my bw350 down to each little part to sandblast. It's gonna be an adventure. Do you know what color of powder was used on the frames?

I am having my BW200 frame powdercoated and I'm going with Prismatic Powders brand made by NIC Industries, PSS-4783 "Passion Red" and it's nearly identical to the stock BW200 frame color.

[HoustonAE2]

Great bikes! I know this thread is old, but I just got a BW350 and am looking for tires. Any advice? I just seem to find a rear tire...

[Röhrich]

Got the roadlicense now for the BW200, BW350 and the FatCat!
