1978 BMW R100S restomod update
Tumblr media
took a few hours the other day to get back to working on the bike! so nice to finally take a break from desk work and do something hands-on. had to grind the threads of the filler cap (thank you, Dremel) and use a tap and die set to get the petcocks to thread onto the tank, because the handmade nature of custom parts means nothing fits easily
the tank also took some massaging with a rubber mallet to fit the frame and seat properly. oh, and I was able to finally massage the seat brackets (with that mallet) so the tilt pegs allow it to open and lock correctly
now all fits!
so far I've rebuilt the carbs, added new lines and filters, installed a hand-crafted aluminum tank (from India via eBay!), fitted an aluminum flip-up filler cap and new petcocks to the tank, replaced the ancient tires with modern ones, added a new lithium battery, and done other things here and there, and test-fitted the OEM fairing (needs repaint though)
coming soon: I have a set of little streamlined café-racer style blinkers that'll go on the stock stalks after some modification, and need to decide what goes into the fairing's open portholes where an oil gauge and clock were originally installed
@bugs-are-buddies is going to pinstriping the fairing and tank (and side covers, if I replace the stock ones with aluminum panels), tying everything together style-wise. we'll also do something fun with the tank indentations where the BMW logo usually goes. oh, and I need to fabricate mount struts for the fairing
should be ready for the road about when we start getting snow! 🤣 but on the plus side, it'll also be ready for the vintage motorcycle show that takes place every February here in LFK - it'll my my first bike at a show!
can't wait for riding weather

BMW R80/7 de 1978 de Upcycle Motor Garage
Un aspecto impresionante no siempre significa una excelente experiencia de conducción, y esta BMW personalizada R80/7 de Upcycle Motor Garage, con sede en Austin, Texas, se ubica firmemente en la categoría de "motocicleta como arte".
La inspiración para la construcción surgió de un par de neumáticos de tractor Firestone de 16 pulgadas que el fundador de Upcycle, Johnny Nguyen, tenía en el taller. Un modelo R80/7 de 1978 resultó ser la combinación perfecta para los neumáticos, con Nguyen fabricando un nuevo bastidor rígido y conservando solo el tubo de dirección.
Se instaló una horquilla springer clásica de TC Bros. con una rueda delantera de 16 pulgadas de Harley-Davidson con aro cóncavo, y una rueda trasera con aro de radios Excel. La BMW airhead conserva sus carburadores Bing originales y la caja de aire de aleación, con un escape personalizado equipado con un silenciador de Werkes USA.
La creación de Nguyen está actualmente en subasta en Bring a Trailer.

CARBON AIRHEAD: 1977 BMW R75/7 by 17-year-old (!) @sb_5.0 of Texas, built in his parents’ garage on late nights after work and early mornings. “The goal of this bike was for me to use my existing skills and use the project to expand my knowledge and experiment with new building techniques such as using carbon fiber and in-depth fab work.” Featured in @handbuiltshow 2023!

OUT OF HART. I’ve started listening to the Pod Meets World that Rider, Danielle and Will are doing together for BMW. I am loving hearing all these stories from behind-the-scenes and rewatching the series with them.
That being said, it has also renewed my love for Katy and what GMW could have been. I still REALLY wish that they could have had more serious storylines like with BMW. There are so many episodes I had ideas for that I wish we could have seen. I really wish they hadn’t made Riley so much of an airhead and silly. Like she could be silly and sweet but they made it to ridiculous levels that made the show very ‘new disney’. 
It seems Hollywood doesn’t think the newer generations can do anything seriously or without sexualizing young characters. Disney may not have done the second so much but other networks seem to do that a lot which leads me to believe there might not have been any good place for the sequel series to have aired. I really wish we could have gotten more out of GMW than we did.
If anyone still wants to play at all let me know. I deleted a lot of my older posts and have been trying to clean up Katy. My Katy goes by a different backstory and I don’t agree with the VERY quick marriage between her and Shawn. I do ship them but with more of an established relationship and slower. It didn’t get much time to build. I am a HUGE Angela fan so very mixed feels about how Shangela ended up.

Motorcycles by BMW Motorrad
Since 1923, BMW Motorrad has been developing motorbikes. BMW's Corporate and Brand Development division is responsible for the brand. BMW Motorrad's sales set a new milestone in 2015. Its motorcycles are built for performance and quality and adhere to stringent environmental regulations. Continue reading to learn more about BMW motorcycles.
BMW motorcycles include flat-twin or boxer engines. The first BMW motorbikes were powered by flat-twin engines. To address cooling concerns, the BMW R32 was designed in 1923 with a longitudinally mounted four-86 cc flat-twin petrol engine. It had a power output of 6.3 kW (8 hp) and a top speed of 95 km/h (75 mph). The shaft drive, adjustable shocks, and single-sided swingarm were all features of this motorbike.
The BMW motorcycle engine, like the motorcycle industry, has evolved. It has progressed from single-cylinder machines to miniature twins. The R1100RS was the first serial-production BMW motorcycle to use a four-valve head. This engine is believed to have a lot of pulling power and run smoothly.
BMW's water-cooled cylinders and heads are a hybrid of air and water-cooled components. The water-cooled system decreases mechanical noise while improving combustion stability and lowering exhaust pollutants. The new BMW motorcycles have 125 horsepower and are powered by two compact radiators hidden inside the side fairing panels.
Boxers and flat-twin engines power BMW bikes in the R series. Other BMW motorcycles have air-cooled twin engines and classic Airheads with water-cooled heads. Furthermore, certain BMW motorcycles use a combination of air and water-cooled cylinders.
The R18 is powered by a newly built two-cylinder boxer engine dubbed "Big Boxer" by the firm. The new engine is based on the iconic boxer engines associated with BMW Motorrad for over 70 years. These engines are well-known for their high-performance technology as well as their dependability.
BMW is focused on producing low-emission bikes, such as hybrids and electric models. It also investigates the use of hydrogen engines and the development of greener fuels than standard fossil fuels. There are numerous models available that fulfill tight emissions regulations and fall into the lowest tax bracket. As a result, they may be eligible for eco-bonuses in various EU countries.
BMW bikes are well-known not only for their motors but also for their design and feel. From the body to the chassis, the business employs cutting-edge technology in every part of the bike. It thinks that a bike's concept and design attract customers rather than its motor.
BMW bikes are an excellent choice if you are considering purchasing a bike. These motorcycles are well-designed, dependable, and reasonably priced. While they are not the fastest, they provide exceptional performance and handling. If you need a bike for a short trip, BMW has several models.
If you're new to riding, the G310 GS is an excellent place to begin. It boasts a fun single-cylinder design and is reasonably priced. You can also try the F 750 GS, which has ABS and a parallel twin-cylinder engine with 90 horsepower. If you need more power, the S1000 XR has a 165-horsepower inline four-cylinder engine and is ideal for road-based touring.
BMW motorcycles are noted for providing outstanding comfort and a tailored fit. They're also recognized for having a lot of low-end torque. Many bikers swear by BMWs and can't imagine riding anything else. These bikes are built in Germany and are of high quality.
The BMW S1000RR is the best-rated sports bike. Before comprehensive commercial manufacture began in 2010, the WSB homologated RR sold over 1,000 units. This sports bike has a 193 horsepower engine with a 14,000-rpm redline and an assortment of electrical wizardry and traction control.
BMW began manufacturing aviation engines in the early twentieth century and released its first motorcycle in 1923. The firm still uses the flat-twin boxer engine design, and a variety of versions are produced. The R1200GS Adventure is one of its most popular models. These motorcycles accounted for roughly 28% of BMW's total annual production. In addition, the company manufactures chain-driven and shaft-driven variants with engines ranging in size from 310cc to 1,802cc. The business also produces motorcycles for dual-purpose, sport, and off-road use.

Dutch Startup LM Creations Turns BMW R Series Motorcycles Electric
Dutch Startup LM Creations Turns BMW R Series Motorcycles Electric
Have an old BMW R series motorcycle you want to keep to the end of time? LM Creations can help with that by turning it into an electric motorcycle. The transformation might seem a little extreme and it also might hurt you to think of transforming an old airhead into an EV, but with the way the world is going, it makes sense. The company does a decent job of keeping the BMW R series aesthetic…
