1973 BMW r75/5 SWB

Putting my /5 up for sale. It is a great bike. Runs just like a sewing machine. Doesn't leak any oil. Starts right up. 30. 00 miles from new. I have enjoyed this bike for a couple of years but have my eye on something else so it is time to sell. A lot of work and $ has gone into this bike to make it a great running. reliable bike. I have tried to keep the appearance tasteful and period correct. To that end. the bike still wears it's original paint (Green Metallic) from the factory. and tho there is a little crazing on the tank on top and a few chips of paint gone from the fenders. etc. The bike and paint still look amazing. And they are only original once. I will try to list everything that has been done to the bike since I purchased it. but will probably miss a few things. All work was done by a 30+ year BMW airhead mechanic . I am not looking to get out of it what I have in it but just a reasonable figure as these bikes. esp. when in their original guise and well maintained bring better money. Of course. the bike is a matching numbers bike ( engine and frame. )Before I bought the bike. it had been owned for a time by a member of the Black Keys musical group. After purchasing. I had a very experienced BMW airhead mechanic go over it from top to bottom to make sure the bike was correct from a mechanical. electrical point of view. as well as aesthetically correct So here is what has been done since my ownership of 5K miles and 2 years ago: Speedo/ tach rebuild by N.
