Great video man thanks for taking the time to post it. Snap ring was a tad tricky, good idea wearing the safety glasses the second one I did popped out and flew across the garage.
Older bikes have always been easier to work on than the modern sport bikes with all their plastic fairing parts that first need to be removed. Modern naked bikes are a little better, but still not as accessible as the older stuff. Looking forward to seeing the new project!
Good for you on finding the "alternative" method of removing the legs and replacing the seals. There are---at times---tried and true ways on tackling repairs that are not always the most efficient. Having done this more than once on airhead GS bikes, I too learned there was no need to remove the entire fork leg for this job---cheers.
Nice video as always :-) Remember to fill in the right amount of oil in. That model needs 0.47 liter in each leg after a rebuild. The amount in the manual is only for an oil change :-)
I’m guessing but those normal snap rings wouldn’t work as the eyelets would interfere with the fork leg sliding up and down hence the low profile snap ring
I'd never even heard of this particular model BMW before seeing yours. Over the last few months I've seen a bunch of them turn up on Bring a Trailer and sell for a nice chunk of change... like 30 to 40 grand.
Much easier than my old 1986 VFR750 fork seals - that's for sure. Did you check for burs in the chrome stantions before inserting them into the seals? Any Idea what caused the original leak - brittle rubber maybe?
Loved your video again!!!!! Keep up the great videos!!!!! This made the work look not much more difficult than an oil change or you just make it look easy!!!!!!

I always appreciate how in-depth you go into all of your projects! Can’t wait to see what’s coming up next!!

Wow, that bike cleaned up nicely, that body/plastics look brand new👍

Awesome video, I can't wait to see the next bike!
I loved the video, you’re really in depth!

Impact is the easiest way to get the drain bolts out.
THX! I love this! I learn so much. Regards from Sweden.
Well done! Looking forward to your next project 😊 It was well covered, I guess it is an older bike. Did I see a license plate on the left side? 🤔
Fancy seeing you here.
Can you film the Speedo/tach renovation?
Just got a R100gs PD last week 70k miles, will need a service book, any help, thanks
Is the next project you got covered up there a Kawasaki GPZ?
What are you going to do with the bike once it’s finished?
Great vid!

You add Honda cr for sale
Yep. Putting the ramp against a wall don’t really work for all applications.
I think the more you work on them you will give alot of Fs for there engineering :) BMW do stand for Bikes Made Wrong
that fork braze looks to thin!
Boring episodes
Please go back to restoring Honda’s And what happened to the Frankenstein bike made out bits and pieces
