Description

 This bike was restored by its previous owner who passed away just before completion of the project. The motorcycle was completed. but the side car installation was still in progress. I removed the side car and will probably sell it separately. There are a few bits and pieces from the side car installation still on the bike that will be removed before final sale. The side car is unused. and I am thinking the bike is virtually unused after the restoration. as well. The job appears of pretty good quality. but I do not have much documentation. Pictures I have of the restoration show the bike and engine apart. It certainly appears to have been an extensive job.   The motorcycle starts pretty easily and runs smoothly and quietly. I believe the rear end ratio is still set up for the bike without side car; I did change the Earles fork setting to the other hole and loosened the steering damper. and the bike seems to handle very very nice now. I have only put a couple of hundred miles on it. and I am not a BMW expert. ASK YOUR QUESTIONS.   Please feel free to call me  219-929-6750. PLEASE CALL 219-929-6750.   There are several modernizations on the bike as it sits now. The charging system is now 12 volt. and. I think. is an alternator. Headlight is bright. The turn signals have been added. and work as intended. A custom seat is installed that is very comfortable. in my opinion. (The original seat will be included. as well). All in all. a real nice bike with a  thumbs up kind of look.    Please call me at 219-929-6750 (central standard time) for further discussion. Thank you. nbsp;  Richard
