Thanks for talking off that faring . It is a beautiful bike and i like that the 73 still had the kick starter.
How lovely to see that bike brought back. A testament to what BMW stood for back in the seventies and indeed the people that built the machine so long ago. They were on the cusp of moving away from dull but worthy bikes into the rather staggering renaissance that was the R90s and production racing. As if a technicolour hand grenade had gone off in the design department. The 750 was the sweetest engine in the line-up then, and I’m sure it will still be a nice ride now. Thank you for bringing us this treat.
Very well said John ! I also love the older BMWs .
Your meticulous detail and devotion to doing it right shows just how much you love these bikes!!!
Watching these bring great memories! Miss helping you on projects no matter how small my roll was lol.
Nicely done, getting rid of that after market fairing was a big plus, that seat would have to go as well, just plain ugly but that’s a minor point.
Would have been nice to see the bike being ridden after.. 🙂
20+ years ago I got an r75/5 toaster that was going to be parted out. Now I have 2, 73 toasters and 1 66 r60/2.
I'll be doing the same thing in a couple of weeks.Great job.👏👏
Congrats!!! Beautiful bike. I have a 71 just like it. They are so fun
On chrome I like steel wool and WD40. That bike sure cleaned up nice.
Aluminum foil works great on chrome.
@@grayharker6271 I've heard that as well. I've heard foil and coca cola
Thanks for taking me down memory lane. I had the same year, 1973 R75/5 toaster tank in black with the extended wheel base. Now, I am wondering, why I ever sold it. Great fun!
A 73 1/2 to be correct, that was the change from the short to the long wheel base. So many great times on mine.
SUPER !
Just goes to show that using that tried and tested "elbow grease" works wonders!!!!

You should never wash a /5 with the key in the ignition, great way to get water into the lock and headlight internals. That is why there is a built in sliding cover. The key only seals when it is fully pushed down, but that of course energizes the electrical system.
What oroduct dus youbuse to clean chrome parts? I want to use it in my 62 r50.
And Presto! You got yourself a sweet R75/5!
A question: did you use hot water in your power sprayer? Thanks James Zi
What did you spray on the chrome?
Nearly perfect...
Looks earlier than 73 most Bimmers had disks by then
Not the /5 series
