BMW R-Series description
1974 R90/6 with a 1978 R100 /7 motor, trans and rear drive.
The rear drive is an 32/11 out of an RS. This is a 1000cc motorcycle and not a
900. All nuts and bolts were replaced with stainless steel fasteners,
refinished originals or are new. The motor was re-ringed and resealed.
It was put back together with all new gaskets and rubber seals. Any worn
parts were replaced. It has a new clutch, all new cables, and rubber
bits. It has stainless Norton peashooter mufflers and new header pipes.
EBC floating front brake disc, rebuilt master cylinder and stainless
brake lines. Lester mags, with new tires.
The paint is a 11 out
of 10, all body parts repainted and hand striped. The frame is painted in
a polyurethane enamel. This bike runs sweet and smooth idles
perfect.Has no oil leaks. The note from the mufflers will bring a smile
to your face. The pictures speak for the bike. Look them over ask
questions.
The motor has most of the pieces painted silver much
like the newer motorcycles. A clear coating was used to seal off the
pours and casting. This aids in cleaning and keeping the motor looking
new instead of turning grey and streaked. The transmission has been
painted also. This was professionally done. The engine block itself was
left original.
Comes with clear title and permanent Washington collector's plates.
