Post photos of your vintage (pre-1970) BMW motorcycle - Page 5

Hi all,
This bike belonged to my dad, who purchased it new in 1970. He had the dealer replace the telescopic fork with an Earles fork as he wasn't fond of the new US style fork. It's a gem to ride and has less than 11,000 original miles.

Jeff ,
Your bikes are a thing of beauty.
I was looking at your web site and studying the way you mounted your Craven bags .
Your page inspired me to get a little creative and use some Yankee Engineering .
I have a set of Golden Arrows that used to be on my 74 /6
I just bought a 87 K RS , it didn't come with bags .....?????
Check this out !

I hope this picture does not offend anyone here in the Vintage section.
Take Care ,Tom

Here's my pre '70 airhead, sans tub.

That's most certainly pre '70...pre /2 also...pre a lot of stuff! You'll probably have to help most of us out as to exactly what model that is. Is it an R12?

Where did you get the saddlebags??

Hi, you're right, it's an R12. It was built in 1940. The bags were on it when I bought it; I think they are available from Dreher in Germany.

Cheers!
