 BMW bike engine My brother's a BMW bike rider. Whilst eyeing up his latest bike the other day (some fancy-dan tourer thing) it occured to me that I could whip out the engine and stick it in my 2CV. Which brings me to my question: Assuming that I used a flat-twin, how easy would it be to convert? Has anyone on this forum done such a thing? What would it involve?

Re: BMW bike engine Ha-haa! How long would it take to remove the engine from the bike? Could I do it while brother has his afternoon nap?

Re: BMW bike engine He's rather partial to port. This could help me to get around the angle grinder noise issue.

Re: BMW bike engine Snowy
There are two quite different BMW bike engines, the old style R-series 'Airhead' and the modern R-series 'Oilhead'. Which sort interests you? I have an R100/7 and an R100GS-Paris Dakar, both of the earlier variety.

Re: BMW bike engine Not sure. I'll ask my bredren and see what he reckons. He's a total petrol-head (works for some car company called McLaren, or something).
