R75/5 Needs Wings-Long Odd Post
Posted: Wed May 09, 2018 12:44 am
I'm a long-time lurker here and have enjoyed my visits to the point where I trust this crowd with an odd circumstance and request for advice.
A college friend of mine just passed on and left his 14K R75/5 (I was with him on my R69S when he bought it new in Connecticut) to another friend who is a well-funded professional eccentric (and under no circumstance can be allowed to even consider riding it) with the following caveats: 1) Bike must remain operational. 2) Bike must have wings mounted. That's it. Wings and Operational. That's the whole deal. No more data.
So I guess if you consider that the donor (a rancher/poet/song writer/tech guru with good welding skills) spent a lot of time on the Playa at Burning Man and also consider that the new owner has lots of space to properly display a modified but operational R75, you can begin to address the problem.
I would happily receive suggestions as to what to build. Something - whatever - will be actually professionally constructed and it will be put on display.
BMW. Wings. Operational.
Thanks.
