We have completed assembly of our R60/2 restoration project. As you can see the bike is stunning. I especially like the solo seat and alloy wheels. We tried to stay as close to stock as possible. The elegance of the BMW design is not enhanced with extra chrome or gaudy accessories, even the small tank looks perfect on this bike. We will paint the battery black so it looks more authentic. After a little fine tuning the bike purrs like a kitten. We will treat it like a new bike, with 500 easy miles followed by an oil change an valve adjustment. Steering head bearings should also be snugged and brakes adjusted after some break in miles.

These mid 60's BMW's are truly a pleasure to ride, smooth and quiet, the quality is obvious. Take a another look at episode 1 as you can see we turned back the clock and erased 40 years of neglect. It is very rewarding to own and ride a motorcycle you restored yourself. I would encourage anyone with the desire to restore a motorcycle to go for it. If the bike you decide to restore is a BMW keep us in mind. We are always available with parts and technical expertise to help you complete your project.

Happy riding and wrenching.
