*** NO INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS*** To: the bidders on this auction previous, I apologize for the re-listing of this cycle, it never occurred to me that someone would bid on this auction and just not communicate or finish the transaction. Thanks for your patience and bids again. I will be updating this add with additional pictures and information as the week gets on, if you have any questions, need additional information or pictures be sure to ask. This bike runs and drives, I have done nothing with the transmission other than change the oil and therefore cannot comment on its condition. Titled as a 66 but I think its older. I mentioned in the cons section this motorcycle has differential timing,which makes it difficult to get overall timing set so it has a rough idle. I have been chipping away at this project for the last couple of years and just plain run out of time to get it any further, with that being said this bike will need some tuning and a go over before you take any trips.

After some looking around I also have a 6V tender that I can throw in, a Denfield rear rack, an assortment of gaskets, bits and bobs, the original owners manual, and the original mirror that goes on the left hand grip. The compression is low on both sides, while warm 5 "kicks" brings each side to 90 psi plus or minus 5lb (resolution of gauge);the cylinders and pistons were the next thing to go through, I wanted to make sure the slingers weren't full of junk before working my way out, since the heads were being rebuilt I assembled the engine, cylinders etc while waiting for them to return.the bike has its original pistons the rings were noted as having a gap that was out of spec on reassembly the cylinder walls had no pitting and appeared to be in good conditionwhen the engine was dissembled the pistons were *gently* cleaned with solvent and a soft bristle brush to remove carbon deposits Note: Ebay pulled the add because I used the wrong category ( I used the category that was suggested when I typed " 1966 BMW R50/2 motorcycle" into the * Describe you item* line for the listing. Ebay apparently ha\s no way to change the category of an item while maintaining the item time, bidders and auction number. So.. lets try this again...
