i love that bmw bobber, to much work for me but. will stick with the bmw frame but cut the subframe to lower the seat and probably use a custom tank

yeh, it's an ask...work and money wise...but it's cool.. thought about the bmw's...untapped in nz...cool bmw chopper in the pics

very nice.

the bmw R100RT i have is a great bike, bought it to modify but it is to mint so i just ride it.
the bmw's are great bikes, would avoid the new ones due to complexity but the old 2 valve heads like my one are great, very easy to maintain and go forever, only weak spot being gearbox which is not a major to rebuild.

sorry to be putting this stuff in a chopper thread guys

think that chopper is a guzzi, which i think is also a good option but more expensive to get a base one to work

this has probally been done to death in this forum already so i apologize for that but can anyone point me in the direction of where to find the likes of 2nd hand frames and engines.

What are you lookin' for dude? 70's style, full-on chop with KnQ seat, springer front end? Do you have anything to get started? I know of a couple of retro chopper groups, PM me.

If ya can be arsed with quite a bit of tinkering the iron head Sporty motor looks way-cool in a bobber. Modern sealants can help too.

probably late 80's early 90's got nothing to get started at the moment was looking to secure a frame and engine before i even look at getting started id prefer to build it up from scratch i have a few ideas in mind and i think it would be easier to start from frame. Than modify an already complete harley and also i need a project.

Does this appeal?
