Build Kickoff: December 16, 2013



Ladies and gentlemen, here we go. After more than a year of planning, we are beginning to build a vintage BMW R90S from NEW PARTS ordered directly from BMW. Modeled on a 1975 R90 S, this bike is composed of parts sourced from BMW's extensive catalog of new parts for old motorcycles. The build is happening at MAX BMW NH, with three technicians representing all three of our locations. Stay tuned to this page for updates, or get even faster access to the progess by liking us on Facebook or by viewing our our live video feed.

On Monday, we prepared all of the parts that we will need. It was fun to see all of the parts in one spot. It has taken hours upon hours of time to identify, order, catalog and organize all of the parts for this project. We're pretty sure that we have them all, but we are certain to find out in the next couple of days! Here's a shot of the parts getting ready to go: (click to enlarge image)

The build is set to begin at 9 AM on Tuesday, December 17th. Updates will be posted below. Thanks for following!
