BMW /2

sptfr43 · 2014-10-29T23:06:47Z

Hello. I'm new to all this and am restoring a BMW R50/2 with a R80 engine. I have an older Watsonian GP to put on it. Is there anything I need to watch out for? The frame has factory lugs installed. What about the final drive gearing??

You need to find a pair of right angle metal guide tubes for the top of those carbs. Given the limitation created by that tank, I think that is your best solution.

I have rerouted the cable to the outside of the tank rather than thru the tunnel. It seems to work ok now. I have put about 50 miles on her.
