BMW R-Series description

25 year owner.  This bike was restored 10 years ago.  Like most, it's a one kick start bike. Engine has been gone through, with lower end checking out fine, valve job done with slingers cleaned.  Transmission redone with new bearings and seals.

12V conversion,  H-4 headlight plus GM points plate installed.  Frame and swing arms powder coated. All chrome items replated.  Stainless and white cadmium fasteners. New cables and all rubber parts replaced. New rims with stainless spokes. All chassis bearings replaced. European bars with Hella  signals. Rear fender was repainted and hand striped. The rest of the paint is in very nice condition. Bike has matching numbers.

The bike has scuffs on the right tailpipe and right valve cover.  The air cleaner cover has a cable rub.  The tank has a hard to see stone chip indent. It's just to the right of the reflection of my finger nail. See photos.  There is a very shallow almost imperceptible  dimple on the left side of the gas tank between the BMW emblem the knee rubber that I can't make appear in my photos. Lastly, the right carb drips occasionally after shut down. Contact me for more photos or questions.

Elegant contours, hard storage, and big jugs Our perception of the world is influenced by both nature and nurture. Just as our individual experiences shape how we view situations, the same can be said for the handlebars you sit behind. Each bike delivers its own unique experience that plays a part in how you interact with and take in the scenery around you whether that be flying through mountain roads at warp speed, filtering through traffic on the way to work, or cruising through expansive glacial valleys skirting the German/Austrian border.
