Adding a legendary early 1970s ČZ Motocross Type 981 to the collection was never part of the plan, but I couldn’t resist… • Looking over this bike, it’s clear it has lived a hard riding life, carrying plenty of wear, tear, and battle scars along the way. • What remains is an incomplete bike, missing several key parts while others will require serious repair and attention. • From the engine, to the frame and wheels, every component will need a closer inspection, and this project will demand a fair amount of work. • Let’s see what can be salvaged and what will need some extra love along the way. This should be a fun project #cz #dirtbike #jawa #vintagemotorcycle #barnfind

Working on classic BMW Airheads means dealing with every condition imaginable… • Most of the time, the parts are covered in decades of oil, grime and neglect. • This BMW Airhead 5 speed gearbox was no exception. Before tearing into it any further, the first step was giving it a proper clean so every fastener could actually be seen and accessed. • Instead of blasting water and cleaner directly at the gearbox, I designed a dedicated cover set that seals off all critical openings during the cleaning process. • For this gearbox, the goal was removing years of exterior grime, but the same covers can also be used during abrasive blasting or paint preparation. • Once everything was sealed up, it was time for some elbow grease in the parts washer. • Slowly, the gearbox started revealing itself again from underneath decades of buildup. • What was once an oily, grimy mess now actually looks like a gearbox worth rebuilding again. • #bmwmotorrad #vintagemotorcycle #gearbox #repair

Pushrod tubes are one of those components on a BMW Airhead that rarely get any attention…until it’s time for a proper rebuild. • Pressed directly into the cylinder casting, their job is to guide and protect the pushrods while providing a sealing surface for the rubber tube seals that keep engine oil where it belongs. • After decades of service, these tubes often show corrosion, flaked plating, or damage that makes restoring them worthwhile. • As part of the rebuild of this BMW R100 engine, the original tubes are being removed so they can be refurbished and the cylinders prepared for the next stage of the project. • Removing them correctly requires a mandrel, proper support, a decent hammer and a bit of heat to work with the aluminum casting. • Once removed, the cylinder is far easier to clean and the pushrod tubes can be restored back to original condition. • #bmwmotorcycle #vintagemotorcycle #repair #fix
