This bike started out as a plenty used 1967 R50/2. We stripped the bike down to bare metal and did a frame up restoration.
Then we added a 1000cc BMW motor and 5 speed transmission.
We then installed an all steel Donghai sidecar, extending the length 10 cm for the owners rather tall passenger.
We rebuilt and polished the motor, transmission, and rear drive.
Then for stopping power we added twin disc brakes up front, with the brake fluid reservoir being hidden beneath the gas tank.
Besides riding this bike from San Francisco to Maine, it has traveled far and wide all over China.
