1985 BMW R80G/S, 59,000 miles, Alpine White This G/S has been maintained in as close to original condition as possible, only the coil and ignition cables are not original. It has NOT been restored but has been cleaned up, touched up and mechanically gone over. It looks like the basic model you would have seen at a dealer in the 80s, ready for the next owner to add whatever enhancements to fit his/her needs.As far as I know all paint is original except the rear part of the front fender (repainted with a close match). Aluminum parts were cleaned, not to look new, but to retain some patina. Exhaust system is solid, was ceramic coated a few years ago and shows some minor surface rust. Tank decals, side panel decals and seat cover were replaced with accurate reproductions. Mechanical work includes cylinder and head resealing, timing chain and tensioner replaced, carb o-rings, jets, springs, gaskets and floats replaced, all cables replaced, grips, throttle tube and gears replaced, left control switch replaced, fork boots replaced, steering head bearings checked, lubed and adjusted. Finally all filters and fluids were changed, including brake fluid and fork oil. The battery was replaced August 2014. The speedometer was rebuilt due to a non-functioning odometer. Mileage was reset to reflect true mileage after consulting with the previous owner. I have receipts totaling $1000 for parts replaced. Some defects remain: The front fender has a crack near the mount, it has been repaired and braced but the crack is visible on close inspection. There is a small tank dent 1\2 in. on top front right side, some marks where the seat contacts the back of the tank, as well as a few minor imperfections in the paint on side covers. Two chips in paint on rear fender and some scratches on wheel rims from tire changes were left as is. Side stand is missing the original bumper stop but another stop was added that functions well. Not included: owner’s manual, luggage and racks (may be available at a later time). Included: factory tool kit, white handguards (not mounted), hand pump, folding key and standard key for ignition and fork lock (does not fit seat lock). VIN: WB1034804F6363133 Frame production date 02/1985, Engine production week 8, 1985. BMW has not stamped matching numbers on engines since the early 1980s. The bike has been ridden around 1000 miles since the work was done, then heads torqued, valves checked and carbs synched. It looks, runs, shifts and rides as it should for a 30 year old classic.The bike is located in Verona, PA and is available for local pick up by bid winner or shipper. Paypal deposit of $500 is due 48 hours after auction end, balance due in cash or certified check cleared to my bank before bike can be picked up and clear PA title released.
