Losing storage space and a few have to go . . .
Started life as a local two owner BMW R80RT full touring bike with 36K original miles and clear Ohio Title. I bought it and began the conversion to what you see. The frame, wheels and engine are original. The bike starts, runs, idles and shifts through the gears well. It currently needs to be rejetted as it is running lean at the top end and the front brake reservoir needs flushed and the system cleaned and bled (not currently functional, was when put up for storage) BEFORE riding. I finished the bike 99% and then other projects have come and gone and I never got back to this one. We are preparing to build a new house and I am thinning the herd as I won't have time for bikes for a few years. Hate to see this one go, but it is what it is. Look around at other airhead "café" bikes and you'll notice most miss the mark when it comes to the seat- I spent 40+ hours on the seat alone . . . The R80RT came with dual front discs . . . Beautiful classic paint scheme . . . Classic Café Racer Style. Over 100 pounds were shed from the before and after.
