Reminds me of a /2 I modified a couple years ago...... in photoshop
That would be awesome.

Wow, sounds great with the old style mufflers on the Oilhead engine, especially without all the clatter noise common to the old Airheads.
I recall, over 15 years ago, an article in the ON about a buildup of a /2 chassis with an R100 engine, and the disc brakes from the late 70's, on a Earles front fork. Made a really cool bike out of it.
I have always thought BMW should never have built the R1200C like it was. But instead build a modern interpretation of the /2, or an R69S, with the Oilhead engine. That would have been a classic BMW cruiser much more than trying to emulate some flat-twin style of a Harley or a typical American cruiser.

No PS here, real VW conversions have been around for years. A buddy of mine had a /2-1600cc VW rig to tug his Velorex. It wasn't fast, but you could pull stumps with it... provided the final drive didn't pack it in.
Several companies offered conversion kits; this one is by Butterfield I think.
