Id love to try one of those internal throttles. Robert do you offer any test rides out of Bike Shed, Butterscotch, or your place in Pasadena? I can't promise I'll commission anything any time soon ( I just purchased a 20k bike) but I'm itching to try one of your bikes. Loving the content guys.
Where do you keep finding all those beautiful Marchal lights! I like the conversion to LED, I didn’t notice it because the light seems very warm, Nice touch! Still looking around for a Marchal light to put on my R75/5.
Now, that's what you call a Pitt Bike. Those BMW tank liners are a nightmare. Mine decided to come off in huge sheets AFTER I spent £££ having the outside of the tank sprayed and pinstriped. I used electrolysis to get rid of the rest of it and just run it bare. It's doing ok, but I do keep it as full as possible to prevent rust.
Thank you sir! I feel your pain. There are tank liner folk out there that can preserve the paint and get you setup with a new liner. I'd guess you're looking at a 10 year lifespan with no liner at all
Nice build gents, even if it wasn’t for Brad!🤭 I have a 1980 R100s full standard resto, a 2003 R1150R Rockster, which I’m converting at this time. It’s a bulbous beast!🤣 My every day is a 2020 R18 First Edition. Cheers from Australia.🍻👍🏼😎🇦🇺
I don't think the alloy rims are the original ones from this bike because the R80 '85 rims do have a bit of a curved shape at the side. These rims are from a younger R80. I've both of them... that's how I know. You can actually see this at the still pictures.

I’m sold on this channel,, loving your work and I’m starting to like air heads much more, in fact I’ve just recently retired and need a project
My man. Stick around!
Looks cool lads. Love a BMW.

Good question!
@@RoughchildMoto In the meantime I bought a set of beautiful Marchal 810 lights, now gotta find some brackets to put on my /5.
Love your build mate thanks for sharing.
The color is beautiful.
What was the time/budget.
A lot of both

Mr Pitt is a lucky man. I want one. Now.....
Beautiful work mate
Thank you

Cheers mate, here’s to us
Brad Pitt has an airhead ! You’ve just made my day 😂 I can only pretend. Cool as
It actually kinda looks like Brad Pitt somehow. If you have any instrument clusters for a 92 R100R in your discard pile I’d be interested.
I agree and that was my intent, thank you for noticing. All discarded parts go to Josh @ Parts Haus, give him a call
Thanks for the info!

taking my levels of BMW nerd knowledge to new levels! thank you!
Stunning work
Thank you!
@@RoughchildMoto brother if you weren’t so far away I’d have you make some tweaks to my BMW
Do you only do airheads?
We only do airheads 👍🏻
Where is the battery?
under the tank
RIP headphone users
Godspeed
For a guy that is desperately trying to find an unmolested 85-87 BMW R80 with such a limited run, these builds piss me off.
Good job we’re not here to serve you. However if you ask nicely, I have more than a few unmolested R80s stashed away. But you gotta ask nicely
@@RoughchildMoto If I ask nicely you'll sell me one of your stock r80 monolevers?
@@Upperoilcan yeah working on it
Please never stop making these works of art, especially the bobber fantastic 😍
@@RoughchildMoto I finally got a stock 1986 BMW R80 for very cheap and I didn't even have to ask you nicely, OOOPS.
well, it looks like garbage to be honest...
Thanks for taking the time to leave your charming comment
Love the shit kicker look the tank gives this bike keep up the good work no offence to Brad
