Post a pic of your Airhead

1981 restored

:usaThis is my 1981 I found under a tarp two months ago, it sat under a car port for six years. After two months of work it is now ready for the road again, the paint is original.

My /5 as I found it

I am rebuilding this bike into sort of a cafe racer
it was very easy to find a little weight to take off.

I hate to see things done "half way"

That bike really needs some Side Panel aux fuel tanks done up in the same "Patriotic" Motif!

Hey WildThyme,
I looked at that bike.It was in Leonardsville right?Those flags are something else aren't they? If I remember right he had an extra tank and set of fenders for it. Too much of a project for me. Good luck,I can't wait to see what you do with her.

Wow what a sight when I pulled in the driveway

I thought the same thing when i first saw the bike. Myself and a buddy rode down to Brookfield for the antique motorcycle show and stopped to look at that bike on the way home.I told him he had to see it,but it was gone.I can't wait to see the after pictures.
 
Picked up last November. 3000 miles riding and countless hours synching, tinkering, replacing cables, seals etc. Hopelessly hooked on Airheads.

Pretty bike, what year is it?
Oops...'78 R100RS - PO had "converted to S specs" which to my relatively ignorant BMWness means he put the bubble fairing on and changed a couple of badges...(I put the lower S bars on last Thursday)
would love a PM from anybody who has comments about said "conversion".
(will add bike info to sig.)
