Vehicle Detail
Restoration in progress 1970 BMW R75/5. 'Made in USSR' Sidecar completes this great get around town machine. I am the second owner of this bike I purchased in 2004. Purchased from the son of the original owner in New Jersey. During my ownership I have receipts for all work including clutch and transmission dissassembly / inspection / rebuild and new wiring 2005, 2006. Top-end head disassembly and rebuild 2009, 2010. While heads were sent to Memphis Motowerks I rebuilt the carbs, sent the tank for a new lining, and replaced exhaust leads. Heads and bike re-assembled at Blue Moon Cycles in Atlanta. This past year saw new tires, battery, and 500 mile tune up while breaking in new heads. Outstanding work on the list includes timing chain maintenance and body cosmetics if you mind the used character of a classic bike made to ride and not sit in a showroom. Odometer was reset by previous owner. I have about 4000 of my own miles on the bike. Less than 1000 since heads were honed. Garage kept runs strong and used mainly for a fun ride on weekends. Shoot me an email if you have questions.
