Full #Timelapse documentation on the #Build of a 1982 BMW #R80 into a unique custom purple on gold airhead Photos and video work done by: Ramonhofstede (Instagram)
Thank you! Not a whole lot of people appreciate these kind of transformations. I'm working on another airhead at the moment, a R100RS. Will put out a lot of new videos in the upcoming weeks 👍🏼
This is one of the most beautiful bikes I've ever seen. I ordered an Audi S4 in velvet purple, and I have an ol 1979 Suzuki GS550. I think I'm going to change my plans for the bike rebuild and go for a matching velvet purple tank and seat cowel. Thank you so much for this delightful beauty. You've given me some major inspiration!
Thank you so much for the comment, words like these are great to receive! At first I wasn't that sure about the color combination in general (gold/black/purple), but it payed off perfect. I just finished another R build, R100 on which I did the same colors but then switched the purple for a deep blue metallic. There are some videos about that build on my channel as well.
Saw this bike in insta....fell in love instantly.....great build.....nice color....if one day I'm able to build the bike of my dreams it would have this color on it....this inspired me a lot
Thank you for the kind words 🙏🏻 The color really comes to life in the daylight. I'll make another video of the bike with some proper lighting and some soundclips 👌🏼
This video needs a little more time on it because this came out as one of the best cafe racers I’ve seen. Some of the other builds were too long, some going past 30 minutes. Did those guys forget what a time lapse is? This one is less than 10 minutes and it’s beautiful! 👍🏽👌🏽💯
Thanks for the kind words. I've tried to keep the pace high, so it stays interesting. I'm currently working on another R on which I'll put out more videos on specific phases of the build, but then also keep it under 10 minutes
Whilst the bobber is beautiful and you did an amazing job it's a shame to see these lovely old bikes being taken off the road. My dad had one when I was growing up. I'd love to get him another one in mint condition one day.
Thank you for the kind words 👍🏼They're not taken from the road, only in a other style haha. But I'll get your point. They sure are classics. I also own a original R100RS, and that will keep that way 👌🏼
An absolute work of art. May i ask, there does appear to be a fair amount of space on the rear wheel in the swing arm. I know that it is a shaft drive which does cause restrictions but is there scope to fit wider wheels? The front i know could happen with custom triple trees etc but can it be done to the rear. ? Thanks
Battery box came from sport evolution (Germany) and sits under the bike, mounted to the gearbox. I've used a M-unit so that the brain for the wiring/fuses
Thanks for the kind words. Really love the drive ability of the R's with the weight loss of the fairings. I'm currently working on a K100, more information about that on my Instagram. Will also make a video on the engine overhaul 👍🏼
Probably the sickest build I've seen. Kleurencombinatie is magnifiek! 2 Questions on the other K100RT builds you did (mine is about 90% done): 1. What did you do with the original onboard computer-unit & telemetry? 2. Any experience with the starter on these being worn? (coils)
Thanks! For the K100 Nardo build I've used a M-unit to delete most of the original wiring, more information is on my Instagram page. Didn't had any problems with the original startmotor in combination with the M-unit
@@robertroccii7117 Thank again for the kind words. The latest build, the R100 RS will be a Amethyst 2.0 and there will be more in depth videos on the whole build 👍🏼
@@valentinroger3020 yes spray paint, but did needed a oven cure. I'm going to use Cerakote for my new builds and doing some how-to's on that as well on my page. Subscribe if your interested 👍🏼
Hi I am in love with your bike, very nice, I did enjoyed the video very much. I would like to ask you a question, could you do a video on Moto Gadget wiring, I would love to get some hits how to do it. Thanks
The video was not completed because we did not hear the sound of a bicycle as if it was meat free of salt The sound of a bicycle was increasing the beauty video
This bike is just 😍. I’m currently attempting the same progress and would love some advice. Did you powder coat the engine or just use high temperature resistant paint ? Also which I had the knowledge to customise my forks as you have. Amazing work
Thanks buddy! I've used high temp paint, but I'm going to use Cerakote for the next build (R100RS). I'm going to do a separate video on that on my channel so please subscribe to not miss that! For the new build I'm going to use the plug & play triple from The Powerbrick
The original suspension brackets have been replaced by thicker brackets and just a little lower than original. The seat bracket is just an extension from the backbone from the frame
For this bike I used a single stage paint, but for all my newer builds I've chosen to use 2K high resistance paint and also Cerakote. Cerakote H and C series
Hi, I think your bobber is absolutely stunning, please could you tell me the make of the mufflers/silencer and where I can purchase them for my build . Thanks
Awesome bike! My dad just passed away and left me 6 BMW bikes, a Motorcycle Guzzi and a Kawasaki all 80’s and 90’s and all in real nice shape. I have the time to refurb. Maybe 2 in my lifetime, but not 8 bikes. I’d love to find out where to purchase aftermarket parts like for this bike. Any ideas?
@@corner.custom could you point me in the directions of which ones, they look great! Take it you cut the originals just before the second join between the two sides? Cerakote to finish? They look fantastic!!!!
Prachtig gebouwd! Ik ben net gestart met een vergeiljkbaar verhaal. R75/7. Ik bouw ook op basis van de M.Unit. Mss val ik je ooit nog wel lastig met vragen :-D
Bedankt voor het abboneren. Ben op dit moment bezig met het bouwen van een K100 scrambler en daar heb ik al meer voor gefilmd, maakt het inderdaad leuker om naar te kijken
It's so inspiring to see these old classics go through such a creative transformation. Thank you for sharing. I am amazed by what you do.
Thank you! Not a whole lot of people appreciate these kind of transformations. I'm working on another airhead at the moment, a R100RS. Will put out a lot of new videos in the upcoming weeks 👍🏼
I'd love to see the original bike restored in the same quality, same paint etc.. those large fairings would look cool.
Would look cool I guess with the fairings in the Amethyst color 💜
This is one of the most beautiful bikes I've ever seen.

With these tires you can't go wider, otherwise you'll hot the swingarm. The tire doesn't look skinny and handles great 👍🏼
Beautiful build brother 💪

Thank you, glad you like it 👍👏
Amazing work ! Looks Gorgeous . Please tell me, where did you put the battery and fuse/wire junction box ?

Une merveilleuse œuvre d'art!!!
Thank you👊🏼👍🏼
What a beautiful thing
Thanks buddy
An almost perfect bike
Almost 😁
Not a fan of bobber seats, but a hecking good job on the build! Gotta get me some cerakote black for the carbs too looks sweet
Thanks 👊🏼 Cerakote is great stuff, highly recommended 👌🏼
Twin turbo would look so sweet on one of your builds sik asf
That's an great idea 👏🏻👍🏼
@Corner.Custom I think the look and functionality of their engines are a perfect match 👌
Stunning!
Thank you 🙌🏼
Smart move using the moto gadget! Using it on my custom Honda Ruckus 😂
Got to love the MG stuff, works like a treat 👍🏼
Sehr schöne Twin Shock geworden. Möchte aus meiner R65 auch ein Kunstwerk kreieren...
Thanks man. Good luck with your build 👍🏼👍🏼
Hello, I liked this video, I have a similar project and I would like to have which paint was used? Thank you
The color is called Amethyst. I don't have a colorcode, sorry
Did you use spray paint ?? In powder ?? Did this require a passing in the oven ?? Thank you
@@valentinroger3020 yes spray paint, but did needed a oven cure. I'm going to use Cerakote for my new builds and doing some how-to's on that as well on my page. Subscribe if your interested 👍🏼
I would put a longer bank instead of the small seat it would look better
For this I really want to have a single seater. Everybody has his own taste/ vision 👌🏼
Beautiful
Awesome. I wish I have ability to do the things you do.
Thanks! Just start small and take your time🤙🏼👌🏼
Hi I am in love with your bike, very nice, I did enjoyed the video very much. I would like to ask you a question, could you do a video on Moto Gadget wiring, I would love to get some hits how to do it. Thanks

So clean!

Sehr schöner Umbau. Ein Motorstart wäre toll gewesen.
Thanks. I'll post a video about running and driving soon 👍🏼
It looks really cool, but it doesn't really look like a bobber.
I'm fine with anything you name it 👍
Looks like the rear suspension is mounted at the seat brackets? Was a new one made if not have u had any issues I’m thinking of doing the same.
The original suspension brackets have been replaced by thicker brackets and just a little lower than original. The seat bracket is just an extension from the backbone from the frame
@@corner.custom thanks! Nice job
@@fourrides3242 Thanks, good luck with your bike!
How and what paint did you use on the engine. I have had issues in the past with engine grade paints
For this bike I used a single stage paint, but for all my newer builds I've chosen to use 2K high resistance paint and also Cerakote. Cerakote H and C series
This is a one-of-a-kind build me I know how long did it take for you to rebuild it
Thanks! The whole build took around 200+ hours
Hi, I think your bobber is absolutely stunning, please could you tell me the make of the mufflers/silencer and where I can purchase them for my build . Thanks

great build but never will I understand knobbies on a street bike 🤷♂️
I like the look and to be honest it doesn't drive bad either. At high speed they tend to wobble, but this isn't a bike for high speed
Heel dik! Zeker even geabonneerd, een tip: ik denk het vermakelijker is als je filmt!
