Nice@Hurco550 and I went for a short drive today, really short, only a few blocks, and came home w/ a 1975 BMW R90/6. Just a bit under 43,000 miles and hasn't been registered or run for many years. I bought it from a friend of mine who was the second owner. There are faithful dealer maintenance records annotated up through 35,000 miles in July 1984. It's all there plus a real S fairing and mounts, Progressive fork springs, a full trio of Wixom bags and a Vetter-style monster fairing (complete w/ AM/FM/Cassette radio) that I'll NOT be using.

I'll start a thread, it's going to need all seals and gaskets replaced, massive clean-up, carbs rebuilt, and tires. Let the fun begin!

Id say your long over due for a build thread....Yeah, Levi and I were talking about that.
I spent a few minutes doing some clean up in patches this morning and there is lots of it that is going to clean up with medial epicondyle lubricant. It's looking like this is going to be a patina machine.
WOW! It's like a Time Machine! I'll bet the tank and fenders are going to clean up gorgeous. Black bikes are the very reason for wax! Bike looks so much better without the extras. Congrats!@Hurco550 and I went for a short drive today, really short, only a few blocks, and came home w/ a 1975 BMW R90/6.

Thank you. So far the paint is looking good with only a little bit of work. I've started a build thread at:WOW! It's like a Time Machine! I'll bet the tank and fenders are going to clean up gorgeous. Black bikes are the very reason for wax! Bike looks so much better without the extras. Congrats!
Make sure you grease the splines, it can get very expensive if they need grease.
