Amazing, astounding, unbelievable, phenomenal... and a bunch of other good adjectives!

Wow, beautiful, Nick!

That's pretty impressive!

I can tell you we had no trouble w the thing. I was really surprised how different from original it sounded when we first got it started. Admittedly, it had been some time since I'd heard it run, but it seemed to me that the sound was decidedly deeper and stronger. When I got it done I knew I...

I'm sorry, Jon, I was mistaken. Had to go through my Hedgehog thread to "remember" things. We used a stock base gasket then used a 1.04mm copper head gasket. I do remember that the bore on the head gasket wasn't 100% right and we did a bit of work w/ a file to get thing to where we were happy...

I know that's what we did w/ mine. Copper base gasket below and regular head gasket up top.

Looks like good progress.

You'll be fine. Maybe if you were going to take your bike to track days and run it hard it could be beneficial, but for puttering around and general riding you'll be ok.

Really nice!

I'll say that it doesn't roll as easily as I'd like, probably the rubber conveyor belt pieces I've got on the floor. It is easier to move by pulling it w/ an old ratchet strap, kinna' like a dog leash so that's what I'll do. It's still better than trying to move it around, back and forth, back...

I like the way you work. Very nice.

I spent a bunch of time thinking about building something to move the bike around the shop and finally decided to just buy one of these: It's heavier and more rugged than I expected and I guess it'll do the job.

In my attempt to carefully farkle this old beast to the "vintage survivor" look I'm going for, I found a vintage Krauser S windshield. It's not perfect but will be improved w/ some plastic polish work. The practical coverage seems pretty good and provides a larger rider envelope. I've taken...

Nice work, Nick. I thought the Germans did things differently... they've got nothing on the Italians. That's some really interesting bits n pieces.

BEFORE: 1975 BMW R90/6 the day we brought it home. Only 41k miles on the clock and documentation of dealer service every 5k from new. Stored on the side stand w/ gas in the tank and the petcocks open for around 32 years. (Picture makes it look better than it ws.) After: Two years and...

Not a huge amount of extra space at the head, but it does fit. Are you going to be able to get to the spark plugs easily w/o taking the tank off?

Found this today... perfect condition and fits like it was custom made for me. Nobody will ever mistake me for a squid, though.

Wow, really nice!
