1971 BMW R60/5 Project Build - Partially Completed


⭕ I have been working on rebuilding this 1971 BMW R60/5 but Ive realized I am really not into the project. The bike was my fathers for 30 years and I took over it 2 years ago, in running but tired condition. I immediately set out tearing it down to fix it up as a restoration and scrambler flavored light customization. Other than having the wheels refinished(which are beautiful!) I have not made and cosmetic decision mods- so you essentially have a clean creative slate to proceed with the build in any way you see fit with much of the dirty work done.

Details...
- The bike is currently totally torn down to the frame. All parts are carefully labeled bags and boxed up.
- I have replaced all the seals in the motor and installed a new clutch.
- The motor is ready to go back into the frame.
- The frame and some other metal parts are clean and ready to go for paint or powder coating.
- I planned to keep some of the patina of the 45 year old bike rather than try to make the bike look factory again so the motor has been degreased etc but not super cleaned/polished.
- The cylinders, heads, pistons, and valves have all been gone over and refurbished by Randy Long- one of the best in the biz for airhead resto. ($900 job)
- The wheels have been powder coated black and have new stainless spokes , and new bearings all by Woodys - again the best in the biz (another $900 job)
- Carbs fully rebuilt by Bing - the go to for work on these. ($500 job)
- Seat pan stripped of seat
- tossed original plastic rear fender
- Needs exhaust and handlebars
- Includes many of the specialty tools needed to disassemble/assemble an airhead(clutch puller, etc.)
- FWIW, while not a pro, Im a pretty particular mechanic making sure things are done right
- I have spent $3650 on parts and services plus the cost of the bike.

I attached a few pics of the current state and bike pre tear down.
