I bought this bike 10 years ago, arely running as a project. Found a good low mileage engine in California from an '81 R65LS, nstalled with new clutch by BMW Charlotte NC. Since then( it was a slow process) the brake pads and shoes were replaced as were the wheel bearings. Steering head bearing and swing arm bearings cleaned and lubed. Clutch and drive splines lubed 3 yrs and about 3000 miles ago. It's on it's third speedometer ; an Indian replic, looks good, oesn't work, ence the mileage is unknown. It has however been my primaryvehicle for a few years until I replaced it with a larger, ewer bike (K100RS) and just can't keep two bikes anymore. It's just had a tune u, carbs rebuilt (again) and synced (Champion BMW Charleston) It starts right up and runs great. Everything works but the speedo and the side stand retur, as both side and center stand. It will need a new front tire due to age not wear and it's started to weep a bitof oil from the left side push rod seals. Comes with large tank bag, olo and dual seat and spare mufflers. It's a well wor, ood running and riding air head in need of a new home.
