Vintage BMW Motorcycle Owners

Thanks Matteo, I appreciate all the tips I can get. I'm sure it will make more sense as I get deeper into assembly.
I will also contact the guys in Kansas City and Saint Louis about some technical stuff. Thanks Darryl and Scrader. Michael

Darryl, Thanks for the insight. I have been looking at several options and appreciate your input. I'm also putting an R67/2 back together which I dismantled 25 years ago and have some questions on the rear drive and suspension installations . Do you know of any any members with plunger frame knowled...

As simple and obvious as this question is, I'd like opinions from the experts. Recently I dismantled my R69S engine to clean the slingers. I've since discovered that one piston is stock and original and the other is a first oversize. It must have been this way for many years as this is the first tim...

Jose, As one who really appreciates detail I think your restoration looks fantastic. I'm in the process of restoring an R67/2 and do a little work on it each day. It has a long way to go and I am so pleased with the quality of your bike restoration. Enjoy your completed bike as it really is art work...

Hi Dan, Thanks for the great pictures. It looks like I will go with vapor blasting. I have quite a lot of pieces to blast. Is this work that you do for business. I'm told that vapor blasting equipment is very expensive to buy. Should I get a list of what I need done and take pictures so you can esti...

Hi Dan, Thanks for the tip on vapor blasting. I've been looking at vapor blasting for over a year. I had read something about how vapor blasting peens the casting and I was concerned about that. The nearest shop that does that work is 200 miles from me. I wanted to ask if I can have the gearbox and ...

I'm trying to find out any build information on chassis number 537168. it's an R51 but I'm uncertain of year, etc. Thanks for any tips on this bike. Michael

Hi Konrad, Thanks so much for replying with that information. I appreciate it so much. I also have a Vespa 150 Special 1966. Michael
