  • PROJECT UPDATE!
    Finally! This last episode took a little bit longer than the others.
    After the first testride I still wanted to bleed the brakes, just to be sure.
    I also took my time to set the speedo, the process was a bit unclear at first and to be honest I couldn't explain you how to do it after all these months, but you'll figure it out!
    These rides were filmed during summer, right now it's getting cold and the days get shorter so the BMW will hibernate for a couple of months.
    You'll see my brother on his R65 scrambler in this footage, make sure to check his channel and his build videos.
    Next spring we'll ride the Belgian roads again!

    Hey,
    First off: I really love the bike, it's looking so good!
    I know it's an older video, but I'm currently customizing my own R80 and I was wondering what exhaust pipes you're using/ where you got them?
    They sound amazing and look even better!
    Cheers

    Very nice, I just plan a similar project! Can‘t wait to start. May I ask u a question?
    I have a BMW R80/7 year 76.
    do you see the same possibility like your bike? and is it possible to mount cast rims instead of spoked weels?
    your answer is much appreciated
    regards Philipp
    Btw: very impressed 👍

    Hey! I love this build! Definitely a great source of info / inspiration. I was wondering how you like the Vonzeti subframe? I'm considering it for my '87 R80. My reservation is that I've read that some people think they're a bit flimsy / don't fit quite perfectly. What are your thoughts? Cheers!

      @ThomasC  Před 3 lety +5

      What people think is right, both our subframes didn't fit perfectly and took some bending and fiddling to mount. The width of the top brackets does not fit between the brackets of the frame, so we had to mount the whole subframe a bit off-centre. Once it's in place it feels fine and very few people can tell it's not perfect. A local bike mechanic could have fabricated one for pretty much the same price, next time I'll get a custom made one.

    Stunning bikes, great colours just one thing I don't like, the turn light signals, too modern for an aged scrambler. Nice ride

    • @ThomasC
      @ThomasC  Před 3 lety +1

      Thanks! Turn signals are allways a bit tricky. I had the same ones on my Ducati Scrambler and was happy with their visibility. Some of the really bright ones are too small and I tend to prefer safety above style on some points.

      @@ThomasC I agree man, I have a dominator modified in scrambler 1988,and I use 70' style round bar end with the cable inside the handlebar. But you right safety is never enough, still great job man.

    Id rather call that a bratstyle. How much fuel does it consume?

    • @ThomasC
      @ThomasC  Před 3 lety

      Well, it's a bit of a grey zone I think. It's not a very off-road kind of bike, so I get your point :-) No idea about consumption.

      North Korea, but close to the DMZ so you can actually see parts of South Korea as well.
