VW Powered 1955 BMW R-69 Motorcycle

            Taken at the annual Spring Grove Car show held in Spring Grove Cemetery and Arboretum in Cincinnati, Ohio.  

You can't see it in this shot, but there's a Steib sidecar attached.      I'd like to know how much and what had to be altered to allow for the VW motor and if the handling was effected.  Perhaps having a sidecar attached negates any handling problems.  

I've seen the bike since I took this shot.  He has added a prartial fairing with windshield, chromed some parts, added sadle bags and changed the sadle.  There may well be other changes which didn't catch my eye.
