1971 BMW R-Series

Clear

SUPER LOW MILAGE R60 WITH 4 SPEED BOX. BIKE NEEDS SOME LOVE WHEN IT COMES TO THE COSMETICS AS IT WAS STORED IN A OPEN GARAGE NEAR THE EAST COAST OF FLORIDA. THE CAST ALLOY( most notably , engine castings ) HAVE DEVELOPED A DULL GREY COLOR WHILE THE REMAINING BRIGHT WORK CAN POLISHED OUT. . THE MUFFLERS ARE IN VERY GOOD SHAPE WITH THE EXHAUST PIPES HAVING SOME RUST. THERE IS A TINY PINHOLE AT THE CROSSOVER CONNECTION ON ONE SIDE THAT WHISTLES WHEN UNDER POWER. ** POWERPLANT & DRIVETRAIN WORK AS DESIGNED .** A CARB REBUILD WILL BE REQUIRED AS WELL AS NEW PETCOCKS. I HAVE SEALED THE TANK USING CASWELLS AS IT WAS NASTY INSIDE. IT DID NOT LEAK PRIOR TO SEALING. REMOVAL OF NEED PAD RUBBERS SHOWED NO PROBLEMS. ** YOU WILL NEED TO INSTALL PUSHROD TUBE SEALS AS THESE HAVE HARDENED & THE FRONT LEFT LEAKS SOME. ** SPEEDO /TACH COMBO WORKS PERFECTLY. TIRES WERE CHANGED IN 2001 AND SHOW GOOD RUBBER. compression is very good on both sides. seat shows some shadows from the sun but is in good shape otherwise. storage for a reasonable period is fine. if your down for bike week or the holidays pick it up then.
