The BMW R80RT build continues! In this episode, I strip the front end — headlight, speedos, and handlebars — and start shaping the classic 1986 airhead into a bobber/café racer hybrid.
I also tidy up a few details in the garage and share my vision for the finished bike, including styling, parts plan, and what makes this ex-police R80RT special. This is where the project starts taking shape.
