More skeptical about this project than the last, but it's winter setting in, and can't just sit around doing nothing. View attachment 42416
Had a good day, went crazy, not quite half done, but got into it. Turned cold, a little snow, no sweat. Looks like it's possible to do, tricky with all the mounts and the exact positioning of certain stuff like the headlight grommet. Really like the way it looks.View attachment 42438
Thanks indeed 898!
My dad was never too big on Christmas, he lost his faith during WWII; had to order too many of his men to do things that didn't end well for them. Christmas was almost a non-holiday in our house.
But the most meaningful holiday to him, and hence us, was Thanksgiving; thank you for surviving, thank you for friends, family, and our freedom.
That is some serious skill you have, man.
the headlight hole took a few hours and still are not exactly right to my eye,
It's first this, then that, and then, oops, forgot that and now it can't be adjusted, rats.
It seems that thinking about something you've never done, not screwing it up, is as much effort than actually doing the work.
Honor the guides, Oak, Parkhouse, Cutter, Snobum,Porter, Glaves, and a score of others that others can mention, who went ahead and showed the way. And then remember all the volunteers and others at MOA without whom, no forum. And then remember all the metal shapers who've pounded out everything from dustbins to fenders, and welders who's skills are absolutely remarkable.
Airheads are like medicine and you don't have to see a doctor. Our forum has it all from tear downs to polishing, to solving niggling little gremlins, to planning the next route, it's great to be an airhead. If I hadn't bought an R60 back in '81, life would have been a real bore, so thanx to BMW too.
One of my chief likes of the BMW airheads was their propensity to be worked on my their owners. Unlike Honda, for example, even way back in the early 70's, which were extremely difficult to repair without a dealer. .
