2001 BMW R-Series

Clear

Thanks for looking.Up for bid is my Bavarian boxer.Bought new in 2002 and have had lots of memories on this noble steed.Financial situation forces me to sale this weekend.I was hoping to take care of some of the cosmetic issues this winter.She needs a little tlc but i don't have the time right now.There are a few scratches and nicks here and there but nothing that you can't pick up and bolt on off of ebay parts and accessories.The biggest thing is the tarnish,pitting and patina of the chrome wheels.I planned to un lace the spokes from the rims and have them powder coated blue and black this winter.The paint job is custom and draws a crowd everywhere that I go.Mechanically sound but is due up for a valve job and recently replaced fork seals but I must have nicked one of the seals when I put it back on as the left side has a slight leak.The right side turn signal has a short in the switch and needs repair.The back tire is about 70% and there is a new front tire that needs to be installed included in the sale.If you are serious about the bike,I can walk you around it and send more detailed pics.I will assist anyway I can with shipping and I can store the bike over winter if you want to fly in and drive home in the spring.In storage for a couple of yrs.Wheels and spokes should clean up pretty decently.Along with the turn signal switch,and fork seal.The plastic turn signal stems that are a weak link on the c are broken and are held on with hose clamps and covered with electrical tape(I got tired of replacing them)you can pick these up for about $30 a piece on ebay.A couple of the stainless bolts are rusted and should be replaced with anodized aluminum bolts.The chrome side plate on the right side fell off and has scratches on it.You could have it re-chromed or a used one on ebay= $150-$200.Some boot marks on exhaust that could be removed with oven cleaner.The wind shield needs polishing.Paint is in good shape,few small surface scratches on the tank and a couple of tiny chips on the fenders that could be touched up.Mechanically the bike is great and has had all of the surging,idling issues addressed .The bike would be an ez fix for someone this winter and is priced accordingly.Lots of extras and set up for 300 mile days no problem.Again,breaks my heart as i know everyone that has gotten rid of their c has regretted it and usually ends up buying another but for now I need some funds for bills,tuff times.The original tank and fenders are available(black w/ white pin stripes) are available,you pick.If you have negative or no feed back please do not bid unless you contact me first.Re-listing because some dude from canada with no feed back didn't even return my emails.
