Hello everyone I'm new to this forum but really wanted to share my progress with this upcoming project. My name is justin, I'm 23 and live In Winnipeg manitoba.
I'm no mechanic by any means but over the last year I have discovered a passion for working on bikes. This past summer I've fixed up 3 Hondas and wanted something different !
I had seen a few BMW airhead bikes and instantly thought wow boner machine I need one. I posted an add on kijiji and two weeks later I bought this
The guy called me b said he had two, one being completely apart... I figured if I wanted to learn everything that was the one for me! He was more then surprised. So I paid $1000 for the bike w\ TOD (or as my gf would say for a couple boxes of parts....)
I'm yet to decide exactly what I'd like to do with it but first things first I plan on sending the frame and other pieces for powder coating this week sometime. Meanwhile this will give me time to reassemble this engine with the $200 worth of seals n gaskets I've just received.
I will post my progress ad or questions I may have along the way. Please if u have ideas or suggestions along the way I would really appreciate it your input, thanks everyone.
