1972 BMW R75/5 cafe

[scrambeemer]

I have owned this bike for about 20 years,its been wrecked and fixed a few times. Its had a few different looks, to bad all the old pics are in the ex's basement or maybe even the trash. I blame my buddy Mike for getting me involved in this cafe racer thing. I need more projects like I need a hole in my head, I now have a garage full of them. This BMW is a 72 short wheel base I bought back when I lived in Vancouver. I did all the motor modes years ago. Its been bored from a 750 to a 840,venolia pistons, dual plugged, lightened flywheel,mukuni carbs and supertrapps. trimming the fenders and turn signals down
