In this custom build series, I dive into the electrics setup on the ex-police bike as it transforms into a stripped-back bobber. This episode covers everything from the Motogadget M-Unit Blue and M-Button wiring to installing an LED headlight and a Daytona Velona speedometer.
I walk through my wiring layout, talk through what’s worked (and what hasn’t), and share how I’ve kept the setup as minimal and clean as possible — perfect for anyone tackling their own BMW airhead project.
👉 If you’ve been following the series, you’ll know this R80 started life as an ex-police bike. Slowly but surely, it’s becoming something truly unique — part café racer, part bobber, all soul.
