BMW Full Custom Build - R90/6 Airhead Rebuilt from the Crankshaft UP!

Описание к видео BMW Full Custom Build - R90/6 Airhead Rebuilt from the Crankshaft UP!

Grab a snack 'cause this is a long one! This 1975 BMW R90/6 was an ideal candidate for a complete custom transformation. It was a solid runner and in good shape overall, though it was far from a perfect specimen. With over 53,000 miles, the engine was in sore need of a rebuild and had received some suspect work in the past. Additionally, the paint job looked good from afar but was far from good, with plenty of chips, small dents and some wobbly pinstripes. Some overspray had made its way onto the engine and frame as well. This video shows the enormous effort that went into turning this staid old-man BMW into a hopped-up custom done in the popular euro-bobber style.

If you'd like to see more about the work that went into this bike, there's twenty additional videos breaking down each phase of the build, where I explain the what and why of each modification and restoration process.
