Vintage BMW Motorcycle Owners

Thanks for the additional details on that emblem guys. Something told me it wasn't quite right - but I do still kinda like it. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/pw/ACtC-3evCKVSUBmk2Nd2M-KHQxio09ks7ne5W_Gde64W5sNeeldetjAPz0C9IKnQ4PmAJ2_6cXxvlVu7wf0PcxK6lkzEldUVOZFJ4ck6X40GpnWgDbHhBvRGg4e8qfBHK2F3Ql4Y...

Also filed in the "not quite right" category is this emblem - which is completely bogus I think.  I've never seen one on any original r69 stuff.  Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think someone made this after the fact and it's not a "real" BMW part.  Whatever it is - I'm gonna use it.  There are no ho...

Been looking forward to seeing the paint results. Very nice work! Inspiring.

The left side clutch control was missing when got the bike and this was a real dagger to the heart. I love old knobs and levers, so living without the signature spark advance control was making me lose sleep. I tossed and turned. I posted want ads here and there, and asked many places. I ultimately ...

Looks fun - I'll definitely be interested in your progress. I've been on the same road with an r69 for about the past 2 years (the "old dirty" one on this forum). I'd say you have plenty of budget it you go the route of doing it yourself wherever possible. You are also in the lucky position of havin...

This is kinda the real unveiling as to what this old girl is gonna be. Or a solid preview anyway...

Thanks FL. Give yourself a raise. :D Short update here - thanks to Micha. I knew something felt odd about the way I folded that tab... https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/pw/ACtC-3dfb81kXyaoOnl3SFJlUp0gR-ioOnYl_pRfdlklxyx5Snw0ymI070d1NJeN6M2HsH20HPDLF2ORHw4wZfMMAljzuutIJ1ixHSm99_YoQFHku8C1SfR745elZ32F...

Love the bare metal and love the progress overall. Keep at it! Since you are just down the road in SA - maybe I'll see you out on her one day (I'm down the road a bit in Austin - but visit from time to time).

Glad you posted this. I just went and fixed mine.

This was another place I almost got my ass handed to me - but after actually FOLLOWING my friends instructions - it came back together. I even got away with heating the case in the stove and not fogging the kitchen with burnt oil smell. Resetting that rear main bearing can be both so easy and so har...
