I didn't realize how much you had invested in 'Freedom', sure makes me wish I had contacted you earlier! Hope you made money on the deal, but even if you didn't, it looks like you enjoyed the work anyways. You don't come across as somebody who spends much time idle handed.👍
lol just about broke even on the deal. Person seemed nice and really wanting to get a bike to ride again so I sold him the bike for a very good deal. I put much work into this project but it was well worth it and I got to enjoy the bike for a few months before passing it on. You sir are correct, I do not sit idle for very long. I am always on the go doing something. I am afraid age is starting to catch up to me but I will keep fighting it. 😀 I'm looking for my next project but it may take awhile cause it seems folks think their bikes are gold, lol. Mike keep looking, I'm sure you will find something. Take care and God bless brother
That's a lesson i took too, some time ago. Either your a mechanic and you love to ride and repair or start project. Or you're a pure rider. And as a rider, you can't afford to put all that free time you want to ride on mechanic. The essential stuff of curse. But not it all😅 Hope the years will bring you more nice projects
Right now I’m restoring/blacking out a Harley ultra classic. If interested check out the playlist I made for that project. Any how thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. 👍🙏
Awesome! I'm from Spain. I have a F650GS (2000) since last December. I bought it while I was looking for my first bike ever. I fallen in love with the bike inmediately. I'm working for restore it but I don't have enough knowledge and experience with bikes. Your video gives me a lot of good ideas and inspiration. Thank you for sharing it. And sorry for my English 🤦♂️😅
Hello Mate! Cudos on your bike. I bought a 650gs 2000 in a heavily used condition. Thinking about restoring it. Have you done any work in yours? If so, can we in touch to exchange information and ideas? I live in Milan, Italy.
It's just so impressive to see a mechanical craftsman repairing, fixing, refurbishing, creating instead of the usual mechanic just replacing parts... 💗💗💗
@@TechnMoto Got myself a 2003. Fixed it up over the past year. Ran into more then a few problems regarding the Fi system. Painted a few parts but painting the whole bike like that is so nice! Very bold. Makes it look sharp.
love it , I did similar but to a 2009 g650gs , from red to blue it was also my main transportation during this time , which was about a year , I ve got that up for sale , and Iam on a 2003 R1150GS , Both are on Riders share , Great Video , and I appreciate your videos as they helped me in a big way , To get this done , doing it myself Thank you 😎
Thanks bud. To be honest anyone can do this. Just takes some time and practice. Wish you safe riding and happy times on your new bike. They sure are fun. 👍
Thank you for sharing this video! I'm curious to know how you added the front lights that are on the side of the front suspension. Will you have any pictures of that?
Amazing restoration brother. I recently bought a F650GS 2001 and I’m trying to fix a few things. Do you know any website where I can buy the seals for the water pump for a good price? Thanks a lot, god bless
I have a 650 gs Dakar 2003 that I bought in Minnesota in 2015 and rode it to Alaska , it was with 5000 miles now is about 24.000 , for sure it’s needs a very deep service , where are you at ?
Google says- Where is chassis number on BMW f650gs? 650GS Engine The VIN is on the RHS behind the Steering Head. check the production details for the machine. The number is on the LHS down under the clutch cover.
Amazing job. But spray painting it won't holdup. Especially the metal parts. Powder coating is the only way. I painted the plastics on my DR and lightly sandblasted them. Then primered twice, painted twice. And clear coat twice. If it wasn't for the sandblasted texture, with the soft plastics it would have flaked off or chipped in no time.
Hey! Can you telle me what kind of system did you use for the additionnal light? I have the same bike and I'd like to get one like yours. Great video by the way!
i am modifying the original exhaust of my g 650 gs 2012! I opened it and changed everything! tomorrow I will post a step-by-step video on the meh channel, if you want to follow.
Take it to a shop to get checked. Sounds like the bike is overheating badly. Could be a number of things. Bad fan, oil unit, temp sensor, radiator, oil level, wrong oil etc.
well done dude! BMW has come out with some of the worst colour schemes in the history of the two wheels with this model... 🙈! You have do e a great job 👍 . Paint wise , do you prime, spray , then seal with a varnish? Doesn’t it scratch off ?
No. I used krylon plastic paint spray. Then I buffed it out. Came out great and has held up well. Pretty nice considering the materials I used and the price.
Observei muito capricho em alguns pontos, como, por exemplo, a utilização de torquímetro, a substituição dos fluidos, mas em outros.... Um absurdo! A vida útil dos rolamentos da coluna de direção ficaram reduzidos (com um pouco de sorte), pela metade. Adotem outra técnica para remover e instalar rolamentos. Se fosse no Brasil é porque é no Brasil. Pintura com tinta a partir de lata de spray, não dura dois meses. Solda elétrica com a peça encaixada na moto? Que coisa né?!! Criticar é fácil, alguns irão falar. Deve ser por causa da Pandemia. Que venha a vacina logo. Se depender do Bozo.....Gilson Nunes Maia do Brasil
6 months later all the aerosol paint is scratched and flaking off all the alloy and plastic components and the bike looks worse than before..... child like mentality..... oh well....the other RUclips viewers liked it.....
Spray can paint used and this is your comment. 😂 no one in their rite mind thinks this will last forever but certainly will be ok for more than 6 months or at least till I trash it on dirt.

Hey Meredith, thank you for the kind comment. May god bless you and yours.
Looks amazing! I think all the black paint makes this the best looking f650gs I have ever seen!
The bike looked better in person. I have since sold it and the new owner is happy with it. Thank you for watching and commenting.
Чистота и порядок в мастерской. Приятно смотреть.
👍
If I were the original owner I would want my bike back. Nice job Mike.
lol ya right
Wow I'm green with envy, very professional job
Thanks 🙏
Awesome job 👍
@@9Joel9 thanks 🙏
10/10 never would have thought to paint the wheels, engine, & swing arm like that. Looks great! Taking a few notes...
came out much nicer than I thought it would. This was my first time doing it like this.

Sorry bud. I sold the bike. Go to the bmw playlist. I did a video on them.
here is the video with links in the description- ruclips.net/video/FxSbq6vRivA/видео.html

Sorry no. I would do a google search. I do know parts for these bikes are not cheap. Good luck
Really nice resume from your work👍 really great result
Thank you 🙏
I’ve got one of these. I’m thinking of doing all of this. What weight fork oil was that? I think I need heavier. 👍🏻👍🏻
In the description of the fork rebuild. I think 10wt
Espectacular!!!
Thanks
Cool video and I like the quality off of them cam as well..........thumbs up man and stay well

Solid effort there mate, results are fantastic!
Thanks a ton!
Rad!

Wow dude. I just bought one myself and I want to paint the engine and chassis black as well. Did you have to take the engine block out?
No. I did the engine with it in place. Just mask off everything that is not to be painted. Good luck. 👍
Great video my friend =) Will keep it open till the end and also clicked that scary like button
Thanks for the visit
Nice work buddy! Came out real nice. Looks like a whole different bike!
ya new owner is enjoying it
I have a 650 gs Dakar 2003 that I bought in Minnesota in 2015 and rode it to Alaska , it was with 5000 miles now is about 24.000 , for sure it’s needs a very deep service , where are you at ?
Sorry, at this moment I am booked till mid next year or longer with stuff. No way I could take on more. Although thanks for the offer.
Thanks Kindly for the response
Can you answer this question please?
Where is located the frame number on a 650 gs 2003? Not the vin .
Thanks Kindly
Google says- Where is chassis number on BMW f650gs?
650GS Engine
The VIN is on the RHS behind the Steering Head. check the production details for the machine. The number is on the LHS down under the clutch cover.
Great video Mate, I wish I was mechanically minded, it looks like fun.
thanks, it can be fun or at times frustrating lol
Nice Coverage and interesting. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks
Mate you're quite handy with those bikes! Looks great!
Thanks and thanks for stopping by
Nice work man, good attention to detail. I am too lazy to do all that but I enjoyed watching you do it. 😂
Thanks 🙏 I appreciate you.

Hey! Can you telle me what kind of system did you use for the additionnal light? I have the same bike and I'd like to get one like yours. Great video by the way!
basically just some waterproof LED spot lights with some wiring and a switch to control them.
@@TechnMoto okay, but how did you fix it on the fork? Did you required some type of adapter? Or just a basic hose clamp?

Hi I have an f650gs 2005 the oil light keeps on lighting up and the bike ends up heating up. Any solutions
Take it to a shop to get checked. Sounds like the bike is overheating badly. Could be a number of things. Bad fan, oil unit, temp sensor, radiator, oil level, wrong oil etc.
👍👍👍👍👍👍..................😜😜😜..........
Thanks 🙏
I put a YZF450 front end on my Dakar.
Cool 😎
Fantástico, ¿Cuánto puede costar una restauración así?
Thanks 🙏 not sure what it cost I did not track it.
How much would this cost?
Really depends on what’s needed and wether your paying for labor. If your asking what it cost me I couldn’t tell you cause I did not track it.

✌️🤩
The Coulor-combination is good…. But the paintwork is quite worse.
thanks
never painting a bike with a paint spray!, and tail rack is very unsafe wit all that sharp corners
Lol-the corners are unsafe ? The whole dam bike is unsafe! Motorcycling is unsafe, period. 😂😂😂
