Re: At the risk of excommunication
I could have , but the base bike is an R80 ,the gearbox and running gear started as R80 .....and it's about mechanical perseverance . I thought this was the place for it .

It didn't even look good let alone run. I want to see a Porsche flat 6 in an airhead. That would be something. Better yet, two airhead motors coupled together to make a 4 cylinder.

Re: At the risk of excommunication
I know nothing about these engines and swaps.
What I do know is that even at my worst and poorest momemt of my youth, I could not possibly work in that mess. My brain can't even look at it. I think it requires a free spirit type of person.

Is that full scale? It looks like a model. Doesn't seem to be a working machine. Airhead yes, but not a BMW. Russian?r90s wrote:mattcfish wrote:Still trying to figure out what the point of doing it was. A heavy 800cc motor to replace a light 800cc motor?
