A side view of the ongoing master project

Today we discussed the next steps. The project is picking up speed as we need to get some parts lazer/plasma cut for the spagetty inlet manifold. The replacement carburator has been in a ultrasonic bath last week, and looks pretty clean now, hopefully on the inside too.  The effects of the tank look really fantastic. Also we had a triggerwheel cnc frazed in order to better manage the timing.  This due to the higher octane level in LPG 110 octane instead of 95 octane in gazoline. We shall see what the consumption is. For the first time, today, I realised that I have to have the bike inspected TUV. So I need to make an appointment as the certification, in getting a slot a the inspection body could take more than 3 months,

My BMW K1200 Motorbike Project to run on LPG

I would like to start blogging on an odd project. A project which is about getting a motorbike to run on LPG (Liquified Petrolium Gas).
As you are already aware, the Netherlands has the highest gazoline prices, and driving approximately 50,000km a year is an expensive hobby, if you do not have a company car. Also with the over-congested highways which reduces your average speed to less the 50km/h.
With these facts in mijnd as well as the "scruge" factor (as my wife says) I had been contemplating for more than a year and a half about getting a motorbike to run on LPG.  With quite some research on the net, I was conviced that it was possible.  Not beeing the first to attempt an odd project like this and having researched TUV & Road-Acceptance certification/homolgation, I now had to find a bike.

I started looking on several auction sites, and of course have a Yamaha FZ6 with ABS I wanted to absolutely have ABS.  The choice of bikes was quickly reduced to less than 4 models. To spare you ended up bidding on a governement auction for a BMW  K1200RS (actually K1200P) with 100,000 km (ex-highway police bike). This
