Local pickup is of course welcomed as well. As you can see it is pretty highly customized, I will try to note some of the work done: New Paint job is Factory BMW Estoril Blue Metallic that they use on their newer M series cars, looks AWESOME in direct sunlight, couldn't really capture it that great with camera but you can google the color. I wanted a shorter and skinnier seat than the big factory seats, this involved shortening the sub-frame a few inches, which also required the rear fender to be shortened which involved cutting a section out and re-fiberglassing / filling / priming the fender. The seat is 100% hand made, not another one like it. Hand laid a fiberglass pan, used factory seat lock as well a secondary mounting point and made fittings on the seat pan for them, hand formed some motorcycle specific seat foam to get desired shape, then took it to an upholsterer and had them hand make the cover it turned out awesome as you can see. Custom front half fairing from a manufacturer in Germany that does not import them into U.S. The windscreen was hand formed to get a low sleek line, not bubbly like 90% you see. Some parts were media blasted with fine grit glass beads, fork legs, engine shrouds etc.. New Left and right hand controls, adjustable levers, perches etc.... Has a custom exhaust system with titanium wrapped headers, mufflers mount up to factory mounting points and sound great. Nice new vintage style LED tail light New Progrip SBK grips Bike has been Fully serviced ready to take across the country: Brand new Front and Rear tiresNew spark plugsNew Spark plug wires with new NGK capsFront forks rebuilt with upgraded bottom/top out springsNew front brake pads with rebuilt caliperNew front Master cylinder with brakes bled and pads adjustedRear brake adjustedFront and rear wheel bearings adjusted and greasedFluid flush in tranny, final drive, and driveshaftNew oil and factory BMW filterCarburetors were put in an ultrasonic cleaner and rebuiltValves were adjustedPoints were adjustedTiming was set with a timing lightCarburetors were then balanced with vacuum gauges I know there is tons of stuff I am forgetting. The bike will come with either the black cast rims pictured or if the buyer would prefer I can put on the factory spoked wheels, which also have brand new tires (there is a couple pictures in video with spoked rims on) PLEASE if you have 0 or negative feedback you must contact me before bidding.
