BMW R NineT Restoration

I didn't want to just buy a bike. I wanted to make one really feel like mine with my effort and elbow grease. Rather than buy a £15,000 plus brushed aluminium BMW R12 NineT, I wanted to find and revive a brushed aluminium BMW R NineT for less than a third of that price. Watch how I get a rough example and make it better than new, with rust removal, rust conversion, better paint, updated Koso digital dash, a DIY tubeless wheel conversion, upgraded Nitron rear shock, fit and balance the tyres myself, make my own custom tail tidy and fit retro lights. All with a minimalist and clean metallic retro look.
