Thanks all.
I’ve been through many of Brook’s videos and articles. They are, by far, the best at conveying specifics, what’s important, and why. William Plam’s videos on converting an R80 RT have been a great source to borrow ideas. I had decided to do an RT to S conversion before finding that series, but it’s great to see him go through the process. I’ve also got a new and old version of Clymer’s, all the Chicago group tech stuff, some period correct engine tech material from BMW, and a full technical service manual on the way from Germany. I also have all the relevant Cycleworks tools.
Snowbum’s material is excellent for what it is. Personally, I find it to be more narrative than technical. That’s great for the background and history, but not always useful for a quick reference source. I do wish there were more material out there on monolever specific details. Boxer2Valve seems to have the most in the video series, though it’s frustrating that they never share the torque values. Maybe Brook’s next project will be a mono.
For the R80 and my current project, I just wanted to share some bits. Not trying to play at being an expert, or creating an authoritative source, but just putting up a build diary of sorts.
