THIS IS A 1952 BMW R51/3 WITH A STEIB SIDECAR WITH MATCHING ENGINE AND FRAME NUMBERS 528268 CLEAR TN TITLE IN HAND. WOULD MAKE A NICE RESTORATION PROJECT. WE JUST FOUND THIS RIG SITTING IN A BARN HERE IN TN . IT HAS BEEN SITTING FOR MANY YEARS. IT WAS BROUGHT BACK TO THE USA FROM OVERSEAS BY IT LAST OWNER .HE WAS STATIONED IN THE UKRAINE. THE BARN DIRT IS STILL ON IT AS I DIDNT WANT TO WASH IT AND GET IT WET AFTER SITTING DRY FOR SO LONG. WE CLEANED THE CARBS , AND INSTALLED NEW INNER THROTTLE CABLES. CHECKED THE OIL , CLEANED THE POINTS , HOOKED IT TO A TEST TANK AND IT FIRED RIGHT UP . THE ENGINE SOUNDS VERY GOOD/QUITE/ TIGHT, FOR A ORIGINAL BIKE OF ITS AGE. THE CLUTCH WORKED, AND I ROAD IT APP 20 FEET ACROSS THE SHOWROOM FLOOR. IM MISSING THE CENTER SIDECAR YOKE, OR MOUNTING BAR END. WE COULD NOT FIND IT IN THE BARN. IT HAS A SMALL DENT IN THE LEFT REAR OF THE TANK SEE PICS, AND THE REAR TAIL LAMP HAS BEEN KNOCKED OFF THRU THE YEARS. IT IS MISSING THE LENS . WE REPLACED THE FRONT TIRE WITH A NEW OLD STOCK CARLISLE. AS THE OLD FRONT HAD A BIG HOLE FROM SITTING FLAT FOR YEARS. THE OTHERS WE JUST PUMPED BACK UP. THE SIDE CAR HAS SOME LIGHT RUST AND DENTS, BUT IS STILL SOLID AND MOSTLY THERE. THE LAST PIC IS HOW I FOUND IT IN THE BARN. PLEASE NO 0 FEEDBACK BIDDERS ON THIS 1 AND WE DO EXPECT YOUR DEPOSIT IF YOU WIN WITHIN 48 HRS BIKE IS LOCATED IN KINGSPORT TENNESSEE 37660 AND CAN BE PICKED UP HERE AT OUR SHOP. I HAVE JUST BEEN TOLD THE STEIB SIDECAR IS FROM A ZUNDAPP KS601 , IT DOES HAVE A ZUNDAPP BADGE..
