Is this the bike that was smoke grey with silver wheels? I prefer the original look.

She's a beauty, great job on the rebuild, I have a 1994 R1100RS that I've taken on two 1500 mile trips now without missing a beat, and I average 50 mpg with more than enough power for any situation. Your two lane country roads keep me on edge knowing how little attention people pay to oncoming traffic, especially motorcycles. Wishing you many safe rides.

I love that view while riding, as I've said before takes me back to the 80's. Same sounds etc. Sounds like you're on a real learning curve with regards to maintenance, I hope you end up with a reliable two up tourer as both my R100S and R100RS were and I look forward to seeing some more.

Not sure whether you understand German? If so, look at the channel of "Onkel M". He has a video in which he gives a comprehensive explanation of why not to use a clamp to adjust the free play on the rocker arm. He recommends shims as the proper way to achieve the desired clearance without stressing anything.

WM, all of your effort and methodical hard work is really paying off. This is such a positive update: The bike looks absolutely beautiful and listening and watching how the she/he/it(?) now runs and rides must be so rewarding for you. A brilliant job and you should be rightly proud!

That's fantastic to see the classic BMW flying in pristine condition WM! It's been a fantastic learning curve that you probably originally thought was nigh on impossible! So well done & congratulations! Enjoy summer.

Not surprised by the tight valves. A few heat cycles, new gaskets and studs can do all that. Sounds like everything else is just bedding in issues. Fantastic how good these old “R” bikes are when looked after and have the Bings and ignition. Enjoy the summer!

Probably one of the most enjoyable rebuilds I’ve watched. Your attention to detail is amazing and it appears only the best options were taken. Not really surprised though as it was the same with all the changes you made to the Interceptor. I think you now have a scene stealer where ever you go. Big congratulations on this.

Congratulations great job

Outstanding WM! You're the perfect owner/rider/mechanic for that classic...beautiful scenery btw

That’s my favourite type of video, talking about your bike whilst riding. A well balanced air head is so sweet ! 🇬🇧

Hi wildlife moto, well done on shorting out the problems you have had and you are now getting it shorted and the bike is running well and you are getting to grips with and hopefully you will be Abel to get to touring with you both

Awesome! I tried it today with copper flux and a random cable + a blowtorch and… after 4 tries… i gave up, the solder would never stick!… but after watching this, i see i have to do some more research

May I ask what is the width of the L bracket mounting points? I have an older Ventura rack/bag and need to see if it’ll fit.

The best explanation I have seen on YT for this problem. Nice One!

Tomorrow I'm picking up my new Interceptor. I doubt I'll get much sleep tonight ❤

Hi daddy , I got Powerage headers for my 650. I want mine to change color to that copperish brown … shall I take brushed steel or glossy steel headers ?

Did you do an update video on how you got the bolt/stud out?

Türkiye'den selamlar bu motor insanda bağımlılık yapıyor ve park ettikten sonra geri dönüp bakmaktan kendini alamıyorsun dostum.🧿🪶

Awesome mate. I took one for a ride the other day and enjoyed it so much! I now want one.

what a beaaaautiful Piece of machinery and hard hard work!!! congratulations!!! long live 2V boxers!!!!

What a brilliant restoration, you should be very proud 👍

Stunning! Amazing work -- you must be really proud! I really like that you've kept it original.

Nice job, thanks for sharing! Great you managed to DIY it -- new instruments are expensive! Is the LED light for the charge state (battery/regulator) bypassed by a resistor? I think it needs one as otherwise it can cause regulator failure. I imagine if it was from a special kit for an airhead then that would be factored in.

Im about to restore a G/S and having use cerakote DIY before im keen to use it on the BMW Also. Do you know what series / colour they used here for the black? it looks spot on.

Wrong the right side has a slot for the toolroll

amazing bike, but one thing i have to correct wich is the cs, its not classic sport its coupe sport or city sport

Beautiful bike, really well done, little changes are all good, ❤❤

14.26 what are they called you are fitting and where can ypu get them from please.Thank you

Superb, sensible mods and better than new….easily up to keeping up with modern day roads and should see you through another 40 years 😅.

Amazing job restoring that classic bike. So happy for you that it's up and running. I have a similar bike: '77 RS and it makes a similar valve clatter even after a full top-end rebuild. I also swapped out the rocker covers and the originals are noticeably quieter. I have a Beeline attached in the middle of the bars which is a tidy spot for it. You're crash pad would be in the way (and maybe the steering damper knob). I ditched both of those on my bike. Don't think they do anything.

So happy to see this up and running finally! You’ve done a wonderful job!

Fantastic job , congratulations 👏🏻🍾 it looks beautiful

She is looking fabulous. She sounds OK, even if she's got a little clicking from the rockers. Once you get that fixed and the timing sorted it will be perfect. 🏍👍🏻

Ive followed your videos as i have a royal enfield gt650,and out of the blue my cousin said his 1980 r100rs was for sale,so ive agreed to buy it,it isnt a looker but has baan completely mechanically rebuilt,im looking forward to some touring as my partner doesnt like the gt

Superb resto' 👌🏼 Would have been a shame to customise it too much, my R80rt on the other hand was pretty wrecked so I didn't feel bad bobbering it ☺️

You've done a superb job. It looks stunning. It's probably a far better bike than my standard 1980 R100S was in the 80's. The first things that caught my eye as different to original was as you said, discs, tappet cover, rear suspension and lack of folding ignition key! However I don't think that detracts in any way, it's just different. I hope you have some great times together.

Beautiful resto, with the aim to ride. Expensive but you will have a superb bike that can do it all today. How much would a similarly priced new bike cost…..plus it’s yours and you will know every part. As for tyres, get the best you can afford as a bike has minimal contact with the earth and unless it’s just for sunny Sunday afternoons….well staying on the bike seems quite agreeable 😀

Outstanding looking bike. Subscribed so now I’ll have to watch the whole resto series. 👏

Been eagerly awaiting this vid..what a superb job you’ve made and it’s great that she rides so well which is in no small part due to your choices and the meticulous work done. Any idea of the total cost yet or is that remaining private? Good to see you survived the t-bone scare..we’ve all had them at some point in our riding.. road awareness helped you. Atb..Alan

Just got to this episode having watched all of the past ones over the last couple of days. I really enjoyed the journey from tired old bike to beautiful end result. I had a ride with a friend who has an R100S recently and the bike surprised me how well it copes against modern bikes in the hands of an experienced rider. Enjoy it!
