No - I didn't need it.  Yes - I love the styling.  No - I don't know how I will fit it in the garage yet.
The handle bars are a modification? I seem to remember a more upright riding position. Looks classic, love it.

Yes - custom bars, custom seat, custom tank.  Exhaust has been bobbed.  Custom headlight.  Front and rear fenders have been cut down.  Original "Snowflake" wheels have been powder coated.   Original instrument binnacle has been removed, and a Motogadget Tiny has been installed instead.

 

Ignition was moved from the normal spot on the headlight to the lock for the seat lock down.

 

All I will probably do it it is do some exhaust wrap on the headers, and clean up and spray the exhaust ends flat black.  That's it.

 

My shippers got there before the check did this morning.  Owner is unhappy with me, but gave the bike to the shipper, and is going to hold the title until the check arrives.  He's also asked the shipper to not release it until he gets his money.  Should work out OK - shipper won't be here until later in the week.

 

I will add more pics when it gets here.

They'd probably de-trim 2002's also.

I think you're a bot. No one has ever seen you!

 

...Though I guess the check cleared when I sold you those seats!

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
