- This original old airhead was shipped into us from Hawaii for a full restoration. Once discussions started that soon became a mild custom with some changes here and some changes there, throw in a hot rod 1000cc engine and all of a sudden you've got the Greatest Hits.

Pure class guys! A bit too much music in this video though. All i want to hear is you guys discuss the beautiful bike!
You know what these post production guys are like, it’s one big disco to them
Beautiful. Very tasteful. Your client will be pleased, I'm sure.
Have to echo the music volume- really its existence at all. No one is clicking on this to hear it
Slick work
Thank you and noted
Man I love the detail and I also love how proud you are. Beautiful ❤
This looks so cool & vintage. Reminded me of the Honda cafe racer from the girl w/ a dragon tattoo!
yeah I liked that bike too
Tremendous amount of work! Beautifully rebuilt😊
It really was, and a great end product. Now it lives in Hawaii with a rider capable of embarrassing people on newer bikes
Magnifique transformation. Du bon travail. 👍👍👍
Chateauneuf du Pape!
Very sharp! Great work!
Thanks a lot!
@RoughchildMoto The owner is my good friend. The bike was rough but running when he bought it. He brought it up to the condition in which you received it. Your level or restoration is what he wanted. I'm very excited to see this Bimmer when it is returned to him!
What happened to bikes? Nowadays its all plastic and weird angles and proportions. This is art
preach
From the craftsmanship side it’s nice work. From the restorers side it’s a kit bike with all the non period changing.
There’s room for both. A stock /6 is nothing to write home about, I think it would be a wasted endeavor restoring it back to original.
Nice work
Owner must have deep pockets to cover the labor and parts costs He’s probably got more into it than it’s worth
Rich in heart
I have 2, 73, r75 toasters and a 66 r60/2
All wonderful bikes in their own right
The little compartment on the top of the British police petrol tank is not for tools (they go under the seat) or sandwiches, but for a police radio set
Now it’s for Pastries
Great builds people. Would you ever consider selling pieces for build your own bikes? Bits like the custom front spoked hub for the upside down front forks you use on most builds I think would be very popular. Cheers.
Maybe one day
Very Nice build. The original 750cc engine makes 50hp though, not 30.
Thank you. I assure you it wasn’t making 50hp after 48 years on the road
Nice build, what tyres are fitted?
Avons on this one. Nice all rounder
What kind of horn, start and turn signals, old or new? I sold the same bike, a 74, small tank for $3200 in 2018 here in Honolulu.
We’ve opted for horn and turn signals from the earlier /5 series. The horn is a used original in great condition and the aluminum turn signals are new reproduction
Ex ol bill bike.
Very tasty.
Thanks a lot
Electronic ignition?
Now it has TwinSpark electronic ignition
Must have cost an absolute fortune.
more like two
If it is Portuguese, you can fit a Pastel de Nata!!
thats what I was thinking of!

Seat is a copy of a 5 not a 6 model, exhaust is wrong also, and yes I have a BMW. Why is it popular to alter what is a perfect bike.
Hoske mufflers, period correct. Seat was deliberate. Bike was less than perfect before we restored it. Spread light
Weirdly condescending guy
I know, working on it
Not impressed at all.
We’d be doing it wrong if YOu were!
Probably more like 65 or 70 hp. Beautiful Job. Original is always best. I have a modified '77RS and totally stock '79RT. Love the RT and the RS is having everything electrical replaced.
