Always strange pulling apart something you've spent so many hours building, but at the same time, very exciting! Can't wait to see it finished! And R.I.P. white t-shirt. 🙏😅
Yeah, that’s right. But a necessary step of the process. Can’t wait to get the parts back. And the T-shirt I guess is now one of my dedicated wrenching shirts haha
Ich finde den Tank echt so schön. Ist wirklich ein Kunstwerk. Ist in dem Auspuff eigentlich etwas Dämmung drin? Sieht auf jeden Fall relativ kernig aus^^
Danke dir! Ich finde auch, dass er sehr gut geworden ist. Und auch schön, dass er noch die Geschichte des Motorrads weiter trägt. Und der Auspuff ist auf jeden Fall ordentlich. Ich weiß ehrlich gesagt nicht was da noch drin ist außer den DB Killern. Der hat ne Enummer aber muss mal gucken was der TÜV am Ende dazu sagt…das wird auf jeden Fall noch spannend 🧐😅
Great video I’m just about to strip my BMW r100RT down and decided to see if anybody had made a video on it. Those marks you’re blending off are called “flashing marks” from the forging process. Some of your parts are indeed “cast” but when you see those longitudinal lines those are “flashing marks” from a heavy forge hammer and so they’re forged parts… much stronger than cast.
Oh really? That's very interesting. Just did a little bit of research on the difference. Thanks for pointing it out. Also, good luck with your R100RT. How is it going and what's your plan for the bike? Cheers, Joshua!
Hi Joshua, Right now I’m at the 100% disassembled stage. Transmission apart, valves, heads, cylinders, etc. block is empty. Parts for the rebuild are trickling in as well as specialty tools for reassembly. Frame color, tank color, wheel color etc is the tough part for me. I’m still undecided. I have chrome parts, so I was thinking black and chrome? I’m undecided. I liked your idea of keeping the tank original and how you named your bike. I’m intimidated about going with Moto-Gadget. My weakness is electrical, but, I watched your video a few times. Your bike looks beautiful. I’m getting excited to start my rebuild soon. I sourced many parts from Flat Racer and Edgar goes out of his way to help Me. I’m transforming the RT to a Monza faring cafe racer with solo seat and rear faring. My next build will be like your style. They’re cool looking!
