Took it for an initial shake down ride a few weeks ago up into the Sierra Nevadas. Broke down at the top of a mountain and coasted down for about 10 miles. Beautiful place to break down. Starter solenoid stuck on... after disconnecting the starter I made it home. Another shake down last week...
Also what state is the bike in? Is it a runner? Get it running well and ride it a season like said. Keeping getting on here and other forums in the meantime you’ll start to get ideas for what and where to start and gathering the things you need. Advrider.com is a great airhead source, however...
Put some fresh gas in and a hand full of nuts and bolts. Dance around shaking it repeat once or twice and see how it looks. If it doesn’t look to bad put some in line filters on and run with it. I’m a fan of filters I can see into and easily clean. BMW’s have 7mm fuel line usually cheapest on...

Was in the garage trying to make the electrical tray for project #3 when I got sidetracked... thinking this seat need to be made to work. Started cutting into it and I think it's going to work pretty easily!
Took #2 on a 200 mile ride this morning, let her stretch her legs before I cut them off... Started pulling parts off tonight didn't make it as far as I would of liked. Don't have a big enough wrench for the front end. Time to get everything cleaned and sorted in the stay pile and sell pile...
Decision time my wife dropped something big on me yesterday and now I have to choose which bike to focus on. My 30th is in a year and a few months change and she wants me to take a few weeks and ride up the coast to British Columbia.
