1971 BMW R 60/5 Frame R 75/5 engine A beautiful classic airhead that has been restored and updated, a like new bike which is mechanically and cosmetically excellent. We have done the bike in a Café style. The project started with a Speedometer/Tachometer fresh rebuild by overseas speedo. The bike had originally 27K miles before the rebuild, the motor 19K miles. We have run and ridden the bike thru several heat cycles, then we re- set the engine torques. The valves got a fresh adjustment, and all the fluids were changed. We still ride the bike so mileage since re-build will change. Currently 110 on the rebuild. The motorcycle frame, swing arm, sub-frame, etc. have been powder coated in a dark metallic blue. The fenders, fuel tank, seat pan, and other painted parts are painted in metallic silver with metallic blue accent stripes. The engine runs great and is in very good condition.

Engine also got new valve cover gaskets, a clean pan; new pan gasket and new oil filter kit. We installed a new rear main seal and while apart and installed a new oil pump O ring seal as well. We replaced the rear wheel coupling, (Drive spline) All drive splines were cleaned inspected and lubed, including, clutch, transmission input, drive shaft, and rear wheel. We installed new Mikuni round slide carburetors and jetted them with the correct slides and needles. We also installed the needle, pilot, main, and air screw jets appropriate for the R75/5 engine.
