Starting to build a 1979 BMW R65 Airhead - Picking it up from Tony and Disassembly

[@anthonyalmes2098]

Does anyone have any suggestions or neat ideas for this bike?

[@bernibeckmann9753]

I know what I'd do to your bike because I'm currently doing it to my R100GS minus one thing. I'd keep the motor, frame, swing arm and final drive. I had a frame shop take 1.5 inches out of the frame down tubes(raises engine, straightens trans to driveshaft angle) and frame bracing. Stock engine with TM34 Mikuni carbs. Taller 5th gear. 320 disc brake kit on stock forks c/w 19" front wheel. Simplified electrics, single round headlight and stripped of everything that is not needed. Sort of a HPN type build from the mid 1980's. With your bike I would also look into a beefier Japanese fork. Subscribed and will watch your build, whatever you do. Points taken off for pod filters, missing fenders and Firestone tires lol

Yep, keep it original.

Always so entertaining! ❤❤❤

What an exciting build! Looking forward to see how this Bimmer build takes shape. I’ll work on a few more sayings for the next video 😂

Looks like a fun build. Biggest surprise is 98% of your viewers aren’t subscribers!

You have to keep that classic Black and Yellow out in Pittsburgh

Nice video! Do you travel often to pickup motorcycles? Or source most of yours locally?

Hey! Great videos! Quick question though, what happened to the 750 triple? I am about to purchase one as a project and I may learn something from this.
