BMW Other description

Very low miles at 9, 149 mis (Not sure if this is real or not. The previous owner thought that they might be actual miles. The bike was being restored over a 20 yr period so it may be accurate.) Exhaust system (purchased new stainless steel reproduction exhaust from Keihan Systems in the UK in spring 201 ). New seat Wiring (New wiring harness, sealed battery, switches, etc.) completed spring 201 Transmission (Transmission completely rebuilt with new seals and bearings summer 201 by a vintage BMW) Carb work (Carbs were cleaned, seals replaced, new bushings, gaskets, rubber pieces, etc spring 201 ) Seat (purchased new from Benchmark Works in spring 201 ) All new cables.. Fluids (The bike has been sitting dry in the POs living area as a show piece. All new fluids (engine oil, transmission, drive shaft, and final drive) in summer 201 . Valves adjusted summer 201 . The bike runs and drives very well. It is a powerful bike! It starts on the rd or fourth kick, but I am guessing that it will be a one or 2 kick bike once the new piston rings (installed by the previous owner) find their home. I have put on less than 50 mis since completion. The bike was professionally repainted at a bike shop in Minneapolis in the early 90s. The paint is very nice and the pin striping is near perfect. It does have some nicks here and there and a couple small bubbles/drips on the tank, but it is VERY nice. The tires have less than 50 mis on them (as does the complete bike since being finished earlier this summer). The chrome (on the bars, wheels, air tubes, mirrors, etc.) is bright and shiny near perfect. The engine is very clean and has no leaks.
