In April of 2008 I bought my first BMW airhead bike, a 1973 R75/5 short wheel base toaster. I decided to do a full restoration of the motorcycle, hopefully not having to do too much with the engine. With the odometer at about 59,000 miles, it ran a little rough, but alright. My goal was to disassemble, refinish, replace or repair, put it back together and go from there...
Here it is in the garage, with the seat and carbs already removed. As you can see, a previous owner had done a fine hack job on the headlamp bucket, probably to install a fairing. The headlamp and front turn signals were missing.
On that note, let the restoration begin...
