How's it going all, been lurking here for a year or two now. My names Brent, I'm 26 and live in South Florida. I work as a Chief Officer on a 187' Yacht, currently in Greece. Been waiting for the opportunity to buy my first motorcycle and build a fun Cafe. Well the day has finally come. Just picked up a 1976 BMW R90/6 on ebay. Prolly paid way more than what you guys would have paid, but I fell for it so went for it. Always planned on going with a CB or XS but then i saw this Airhead, and here we are.
Anyways its my first bike and I'd like to do everything myself, but my experience is far from great.
First and foremost, my first plans are Rear sets and Clip ons. I'm happy with the look of the tank, and can live with the seat at the moment.
Going to have a buddy help with cleaning up and relocating the battery/wiring.
What else should I look at doing with the airhead? Who should i look at for parts/accessories, any good companies out there offer anything?
Unfortunately, as stated, I'm working on a yacht in Greece/Mediterranean. We'll be over here till October than back to Florida, so nothing is going to happen quick. Have to get my friend to go pick it up for me this week. He'll tinker with it a little as well while i'm gone.
Any helpful advice will be great, going to be spending all my free time now doing my homework on the airhead.
Here's a few pics from the ebay listing.
