BMW Scrambler Full Timelapse Build (R80RT)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 22 фев 2020
- I purchased this 1983 BMW R80RT off of craigslist in pretty decent shape. It ran perfect mechanically other than a small exhaust leak where the header pipe had rusted through. Cosmetically it was not in the best shape. It had been repainted atleast 3 times from what I could tell and there was red overspray on every inch of the bike. Most of the original panels were cracked, broken, or repaired. The footage is a compilation of all the work I did to breathe new life into this machine and convert it into a scrambler/bobber. Thanks for watching! If you want to see more details about the build head over to my instagram @baycityrestorations

Hi, the front and back suspension is oryginal from bmw or U bought from different motorcycle?
@@Fizjobody The front suspension is original but lowered an inch an a half. The rear suspension is aftermarket 420mm shocks.
Hey what is the color code you used for the tank?
@@crystal_beast_gaming House of Kolor Galaxy Grey over white basecoat.
Thanks for sharing. the R80 rt front rim size is 18" but the amazon link you shared is for a 19" rim size and this tire doesn't have 18". how did you fit a 19 tire on an 18" rim size?
That paint removal time lapse was the most satisfying thing iv ever seen
You turned that thing from an old man's bike into a badass street machine! Great job!
Great job, thumbs up for the ladies helping out.
💪🏻 They were a big help!
Holy crap, I think this might be the first ever BMW boxer I've heard that sounds half decent! Nice job
You gave that machine some serious appeal! Your paint is puurfect.
Unbelievable combination of creativity and skill. Well done.
"Amazing"Thats the word that describe this video. You and your family did and excellent job.
I hate people with your level of skill & craftsmanship. lol. TRULY a BEAUTIFUL bike in the end. Sound, stance, attitude, colors, ALL done spot on. Congrats and enjoy the ride.
Thank you! Been putting a ton of miles on it and I love this bike!
Very nice job of converting a nice running older BMW tour bike into a sweet looking/running scrambler . It also looks a bit like a bobber so you’ve gotta be awarded extra points on this. Wishing you many years of safe and fun riding 👍
Percy Barbarossa thank you for your kind words and I appreciate you watching the video!
I can't get over how gorgeous that bike is.
So, I freaking love the transformation of the bike. I grew up on the back of my Pop's BMW's He passed away last month and left his entire estate to me which included 6 BMW M/C's a Kawasaki a Goldwing G1 1200 and a Moto Guzzi. All of them have utility sidecars. He was single and 77 so the bikes were a bit heavy for him to manhandle, the
sidecars evened things out for him.
I've made my living as a Welder/Fabricator I think I'm going to retire and start building bikes like yours with custom handmade sidecars for touring. I think I have a nice start...
Restore them if needed I'm not against building a café racer but it's nice to see a old bike in good condition, keep them alive 👍
@@joaoxufre9296 yeah? Thank you for your input, seriously! They all are 1980's- early 90's in beautiful condition. The utility sidecars are cheap aluminum diamond plate. I think brings down the value and beauty of the bike. Your opinion does make me think.
Could not agree more leave it as it is - just maintained it - maybe restore essential like tyre and brakes and engine oil - smile while doing it
Awesome story man! I agree with the others. Do the correct maintenance to the bikes tires, fluid change etc. and then just ride them and enjoy them! Maybe turn one into a cafe bike so you have a nice selection of bikes to choose from on any given day.
I have just bought an r90t after not riding for 30 years. Im a photographer and want to blog with my dog lucy. So, of course I need a sidecar for Lucy and me to go on adventures. I'm interested if you are willing to part with one that might work with my bike. Dogs Instagram is @ luckylucyliu DM me...or check out my Flickr which has my contact voctor carter.
This is a wonderful build sir. Thank you for posting it.
Ps. The exhaust note is brilliant.
Nice build, brother!! About to start a K100 build. Thanks for the inspirtion!
Hows it goin
Blah blah you ain’t gonna start shit
@@ElHuaso89 what's with the sass this morning??
@@TheInja This channel definitely inspires...... take your time and enjoy.... don't forget to take many photos, so you can keep a record of times and dates.
the finished product is unreal, i need one lol
Mate, love the bike. Great build. Especially like that it looks like your family was involved in the build, got a cx500 in the garage at the moment that my brother and I are about to start tearing down so we can completely rebuild it. First bike my brother and I will do..... hopefully one of many, he doesnt ride and has never shown interest in bikes. But with the virus going round and me having a pretty sever back injury I need help to do this now, and he jumped at the opportunity.
But thanks again, when I'm bed ridden with pain I watch you tube builds and yours is one of my faves, inspires me to keep going with it. Thanks, look forward to seeing more builds!!!
Greg,
Gold Coast
Australia
dredgerygc thanks for the kind message that is really awesome! I hope you make a full recovery and enjoy building the bike with your brother!
This is so freaking awesome, you’ve inspired me to build one. It would be perfect for cruising the PNW! 🌲🏔🏍
Absolutely incredible!
12:52 decent sounding bike, love the build.
Nice job, I've got an 85 R80RT with R100 jugs on it in Colorado Red, all original with all the hard bags. I bought it with the intent of turning it into a cafe racer, but after getting it home and riding it, I just couldn't do it, it's worth much more in the original condition. Such a classic bike.
Cracking build ! I’ve got a 1976 r75 in original condition and on only 5k miles I keep thinking of selling on. Your video has given me inspiration to customise it to something like yours. Love it !
Awesome man! Check out my Instagram and message me on there if you have any questions. I check messages on there more than I do on here.
The best part is watching ladies were helping. Nice project man
Thanks man! They were good help. I didn’t want to scratch up that freshly powdercoated frame trying to get it in by myself.
dude, this video sent a tingling through my speedo area, well done man!
Haha! Cheers man
Thanks man! Glad you enjoyed the build
@@BayCityRestorations you deserve more subs.
Thank you! I’m working on getting some more content out very soon. I’m working on a 1979 Suzuki GS right now and then I am going to be building a BMW K100 cafe style
@@BayCityRestorations looking forward to it man.
This is so amazing, I wish I knew how to do all of that myself
On behalf of the BMW Club New Zealand, very nice build you have there. Was very pleased to see a BMW flag appear on your wall at 8.39 👍👍
I am in love with these old bmws now! I also have an 88 K75 and recently picked up an 86 K100. Thank you for the kind words I appreciate it!
Ull find it was up at 4:31 min in 😊
Now THIS is what I'm talkin' about!
Awesome build. I had the same plans but those old boxer BMW's cost an arm and two legs over here these days.
Gwlyddyn they are getting very hard to find at a good price. I was lucky to land a deal on this one.
12:56 Sounds so good
Daaaaaammmmnnnnn, this dude built an entire scramber in under 14 minutes....😉😉😉
DAMN!!! Hi garage is cleaner than my room! You got yourself a new sub just for that!
Bark Industry haha thanks for joining the channel! I try to keep it as clean as I can! Currently running out of room though with 5 bikes
@@BayCityRestorations what if i want one of those bikes??!
Beautiful build mate.. love it, I also like 10:30s where all your family trying to put the engine together..😄😄😄😄
Thats why I love scramblers/cafe racers
What a sweet build, congratulations. Nothing says family like the girls getting involved in the project.
And let's be honest.. A Girl getting real busy in her Fuzzy slippers is where its at... Awesome...
Officer: 'Do you know how fast you were going?'
You: 'No, I have know idea.'
I use gps speedo on my phone and QUADLOCK bar mount
What a beautiful bike. This is the definition of “Functional art’. Very smooth video. I would recommend slowing down a bit to get more of the actual building. I would also recommend including some of the design process. Other than that the video was both entertaining and informative. Thank you for posting such a high quality video for all to see. I’m definitely looking forward to the next creation.
What a transformation absolutely awesome 👏🏼
Absolutely outstanding. From every angle this looks stunning!.... You created a beautiful machine. Well done!
Thank you! 🙏🏻
Damn that’s a nice bike. Great job !
Amazing transformation dude ! It’s a beautiful lady now !
Thank you! 🙏🏼
Can't stop watching this amazing I really want to get a gorgeous BMW like this great job Sir.
Wow the transformation is insane 😳
Asombro su trabajo, mucha dedicación y amor por lo qué haces, éxitos amigo !!!
That really is a bike i would buy.
Whoaaah at first I’m like wtf is that I came here to see the other thing and then I skip forward and WOW great job dude!
What a beautiful beautiful video, omg am so happy to see the dedication & attention to details & the great results! Love it thank you man, keep it up.
Thank you!
Man, you've really inspired me to get off my ass and build a bike.... awesome vid
Thank you I appreciate it! Keep your eyes out online for some of these older 80's era bikes. You don't have to spend a ton of money to build yourself a cool bike.
@@BayCityRestorations yeah actually I've got my father's old bike that I would be restoring later this year...hope to bring her out as beautiful as yours
@@BayCityRestorations how did you learn to build motorbikes? Im 21 I want to start lol
I appreciate the guys artistic direction and the result is something to be proud of. At the same time we lose another classic BMW in the process. These days a lot of customizers strive for a situation where the car or bike can be put back to original condition and thereby preserve the future value. Having said that, I'm sure this dude thought of that and was willing to lose future value to have enjoyment in the present.
I had this situation with my 100 all original down to the bolts 1940 Chevy Master Deluxe sedan. It sucked. Slow, unstable, unable to just drive with modern traffic. I didn't care what so ever about future value in my case because I never ever plan on selling it as it was my father in laws car that was passed down to me. So present enjoyment was the name of the game. It's a hard decision sometimes.
This is one of the best builds I've seen.
I appreciate it!
The gas tank part is satisfying 👌
10:17 Looks like you’ve got some awesome help putting that motor back on!
Yes! They were a massive help!
Точно!
DAMN that's HRAD !
Man i love your builds, could watch it all day long
Great work!!
Really appreciate it! More builds are on the way!
This man deserves a million subscribers. Love your work man.
I really appreciate it!
Excelente trabajo, felicitaciones.

Good going bruh
Am so glad i found this channel..
Daaaang, that thing looks awesome! A real work of art!
DAMN!!! I want one ! Do it again. 🥴
Nice man
I have seen 3 BMW scrambler builds. All three were unique in their own ways. However, this build looks outstanding.
Thank you!
Just wow, watching this during covid 19 quarantine happy I found your video what an amazing job from🇨🇦
Wow that bit with the fuel tank was the opposite of watching paint dry.
Am i the only one who play this video on 0,25 speed ? Lmao
I just want to appriciate his hardwork and masterpiece
Yes, you're the only one. I forwarded it to the end.
So unique, so special
Man that thing looked great!
That's a HECKIN' CHONKASAURUS dude!
Man im 19 and only riding 50cc scooter.Im in love with bmw cars and bikes.Hope one day i can rebuild one bmw bike and make it cafe racer theyre so pretty 😍
Awesome man! Stay focused on the goal and one day you will have a nice BMW cafe racer sitting in your garage!
Бесконечно можно смотреть на огонь, воду и как облазит краска с бака
это точно
Absolutely agree!
That is a work of art you can ride. Amazing job!
Thank you! Cheers!
Great job love the bike I like seeing it in person. hard work pays off bay city restorations is the best in town. Thanks for all your hard work
appreciate it brother!
That’s really really good I’m not a bike fan but this made me a fan I’ll like to know how much was the bike and everything that cost u after the build too pls
super cool
Thanks !
WELL DONE!!! Thank you for the vid over time!!
David Wiseman thanks for watching man!
i really enjoy this restoration drinking my coffee awesome job mate 👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Beatyful build!! Great Job !!
Couleur you please Tell me which shocks you used and how you fixed your solo seat?
Thank you for your help 😊
Thank you! The seat was custom made so that it slides directly into the bmw’s tube frame and then it is bolted through an existing hole already in the frame.
I work for a BMW vintage motorcycle shop on Los Angeles and I spent 3 days hunting down shocks like these for a guy who wanted a custom job on his bike. What I found, talking to the company that makes the shocks, is that they're the shocks made for quads/ATVs. Ordered them and they worked perfectly. I hope that helps in your search.
Really nice build. Only thing, the upload doesn't fully credit you with the amount of work involved.
Agreed! I’d love to see how many hours this took, start to finish!
It turned out great. Congrats
Unbelievable build bro! That bike came out so good!
I appreciate it man! 💪🏻
Hi. very nice Project! I'm From Kazan,Russia and i build BMW R100 from Soviet Motorcycle Ural. BMW R100 is not for sale with us and it is very expensive to bring in and spare parts, and the Urals are very suitable for configuration.
Круто, есть видос? :)
Maga да, на моем канале
How is it driving with Those offroad tires?
Love The Work you did.
Thank you! aesthetically the tires are exactly what I wanted. They are pretty good on the road but of course have more vibration at higher speeds 65-70mph. Since this is mainly a bike that I plan to do local trips with they work perfect for me. If you were building a bike to do on/off road cross country riding I would probably get tires with a little lower tread.
Another nice job.Well done guys.
Pretty bad ass love how your family was involved
Great build, I've been following on Instagram for a little bit. how long did the builds take, and did you do any upgrades like Moto gadget stuff?
Hey James, thanks for following along with the builds! I have not built a bike with moto gadget equipment yet. I am a painter/fabricator but I do not know much about electrical so I like to keep that part of the builds as simple as possible.

Great job! What a difference! A bike you can be proud to be seen on......
Thank you!
Amazing Build...Love it!
4:27 - Aaaaaaaand... up goes the BMW flag! :)
Out of curiosity - what would a custom like this one retail for ?. I love the bike - just don't know if I should continue to lust after one if I can't afford it - lol ;). Thanks
Ewan Black I’ve seen them sell for anywhere between 10k and 25K depending on the level of the build and parts used. However you could buy a stock one for under 4K and modify it yourself!
What a transformation!
Man that is really nice work. That thing looks like a blast to ride!
beautifull, only thing it's missing are the stripes on the engine.. the aluminum part needs to be same color as the wheels
While I get what you're saying, it would've been kind of difficult to do- maybe especially with hi-temp paint. I would have done the entire cylinder head and belt cover to match the wheels and then ground back down to have the aluminum stripe contrasting. (I don't care everything blacked out.)
@@EricRShelton yeah alot of work.. I understand you. would look really nice tho. this aluminum is okay too but for me its to bright of a shade.. you have given me alot idea for my 2 stroke tomos 15 slc
its a 2 stroke single cly with 50cc and portmaped to around 13hp. so thank you for that sir! have a nice day.
Is the frame and engine still the original? If so you did an amazing job making it look new.
Yes, all original frame and engine just repainted and fresh powdercoat!
Beautiful build!
That is so damn dapper. I was thinking how to rebuild my 82 R100RT..... Thanks so much mate. Awesomeness
Appreciate you watching! I have a 1978 R80/7 that I will be rebuilding next.
Can you write the name and model of the rear shock absorbers?
I bought the shocks off of a friend and they have no branding or part numbers. They are 420mm long.
They're shocks made for quads/ATVs. I don't remember the part number, though.
@@mscottharris Thank you! I'm building BMW R100 on the basis of the Soviet motorcycle Ural
.
And let's be honest.. A Girl getting real busy in her Fuzzy slippers is where its at... Awesome...
Amazing build! Wow! Just wow!
Great build. It looks awesome!
10:19 I'm sure the wife is happy about that view.
you know it lol
Welp, better keep your butt pressed against that seat! Also, is this really an R80? I didn't know they came with radiators and those carbs look pretty big.
These are air cooled engines that is not a radiator it is an oil cooler. Certain R80 and R100 models came with them as an option
That is the most beautiful bike I have ever seen
Thank you! 🙏🏻
This is pure Love! Great work!! 🥰
Much appreciated! 🙌🏻
