The build begins! In this episode, I’m transforming a 1986 BMW R80RT ex-police bike into a stripped-back bobber / café racer — complete with LED lighting upgrades, and plenty more custom touches to come.
This episode in my BMW R80 build series, where I take this classic airhead from its stock touring setup and turn it into something truly unique.
In this video, I:
• Showcase the R80RT in its standard form (with a bit of its backstory 👀)
• Strip off the rear subframe, seat, front fairing, and side panels
• Start planning the custom frame, electrics, and design direction

More updates coming soon — including custom wiring, frame mods, and that police-bike backstory…
