Seriously, what are your intentions with the bike? 100 miles a year or a 2500 mile summer tour every year? To me those intentions determine the level of both mechanical and cosmetic work.
I personally would not powdercoat the frame. Too many stories of corrosion underneath.
As a warning about dollars. You can easily drop $15,000 on this restoration. And with that result you may be able to sell it for that much.
oh. thanks for the warning on the powder coating. ill dig deeper into that.
i havent heard that BMW acronym before...and i just retired from the auto parts business. good one.
ya, i planned for 15k. prolly wont ride it much. was my dads bike and will pass it on to my kids or grandkids.
