Bike had no fenders, signals or any extra stuff on it, I rode it for a couple months here and there and put it in the garage. Sourced fenders had them painted. Got new wiring harnesses from BMW and put it on the bike and just pretty much ran out of time too work on it and now I need to sell because I've started a new job and I'm moving to an apt, and have no where to store it. The wiring to the rear lights is done and its ran up to the light bucket. Bike just needs the electrics finished and you'll be good to go. I have neither time, patience or understanding of electrics. The left side head was pulled and pushrod tube seals replace, and new head gasket was installed. (oil dripping on your shifting foot isn't fun)Instrument cluster will most likely need rebuilt operating condition unknown. Kickstarter works well too. Bike has plenty of power, runs well, doesn't smoke. Shifts well with the characteristic BMW click (4 speed) It really is a smooth running machine, stops well also. Included is a thick Clymer manual, a Reprinted Original BMW Shop manual and wiring diagrams. Seat is some aftermarket saddle type thing, I don't care for it but it works.
