Hi everyone,
1974 BMW R90S
I’m looking to do a full teardown and restoration, and while I want to do the heavy lifting myself, I’m looking for an experienced Airhead mentor in the Los Angeles / South Bay area to guide me through the process.
Being a '74, I know there are some year-specific nuances (the switchgear, the five-speed trans quirks, the Dell'Ortos) that I’d prefer not to learn the hard way. I’m a beginner. Never done this. I just need the 'Airhead wisdom' to ensure this classic stays period-correct and mechanically sound.
If you’ve restored an R90S before and wouldn't mind a 'student' looking to get their hands greasy, I’d love to connect. I’m happy to host at my place or bring the bike to you. Coffee, lunch, and deep appreciation provided.

Contact your Air Marshal. They may have some suggestions for you.
Owning an old Airhead is easy.
Keeping an old Airhead running great is the true test.
