BMW 1979 R100RT Rebuild

My 1979 BMW R100RT suffered a connecting rod bearing failure. The motorcycle is 374,000 miles young. I thought this was the end of an era. Thanks to MAX BMW&devotion to keeping vintage airheads alive, I was able to benefit from their expertise and have the bottom end restored. I also owe thanks to the folks at Euro MotoElectrics for their huge inventory of vintage airhead parts. They were also a wealth of information in helping me plan my restoration. Other players include the folks at North Hollywood Speedometer and Bing carburetors. The bike is together again and running. It is 11 degrees and snowing right now, so it may be a few months before I start riding again. The video is a rough biography of what I did to put the motorcycle back together again when the engine bottom end returned from MAX BMW, New Hampshire. Some of the details of the steps were not recorded, so look at the video as a rough outline. The music in the video was composed and produced by Jordan Critz. The compilation is called Ambient Mix For Focus and Workflow. You will find Jordan Kritz&compositions on YouTube. Click the link above to visit Jordan Kritz and experience his amazing work. I guess I am now entering a NEW ERA with my bike. She turns 44 in May. It should be a fun party. Ride SAFE.
