BMW R51/2 – 1950

Restored 1950 BMW R51/2 Motorcycle.

The engine, gearbox, and rear end were completely refurbished.

The engine was still on the stock bore after over 50 years and within tolerance, but the owner chose to bore it to first over size and install new pistons.

The frame and sheet metal had a very nice original finish and was just buffed and polished.

Some smaller items were refinished, all of the hardware was plated, and every bearing and seal was replaced.

The exhaust system and all  of the rubber items were replaced with new.

The battery is a dry cell housed in a custom made shell with the original top cover to look correct.

A rear brake light switch was added to look like a factory item.

All of the original controls were used, right down to the cable operated high/low beam switch.

A very rare, one year model – the first twin built by BMW after WWII.
