Recommissioned it again, with all new service parts, stripped and rebuilt the carbs,{ mice had nested in the air box ! and a spider nest was in one of the carbs !}. Bought a brand new set of period panniers and frames from Motoworks { hepco and becker } for the bike and fitted a new battery, and have covered 2k miles over the last two years. I have just completed the following for this seasons riding.

This bike is stunning and gets loads of comments wherever i take it. I have paperwork and receipts to back up the work listed. Loads of MOT's back to 1997 and an MOT History report. and loads of old Tax discs. BMW tool roll , tool and tray with rubber lid and a workshop manual will be included. Plus various service parts, oils, gaskets , plugs, O'rings and carb diaphragms, and second set of keys for bike and panniers
A friend of mine sold another example of this bike a few months ago in the same colour scheme, and his bike was very similar to mine condition wise , having been restored by the same people that mine initially. I have loved and cherished this bike, and believe its near perfect now. The next owner can just ride and enjoy.
I am happy to provide walk around videos . Starts on the button ticks over beautifully. Not the cheapest, but undoubtably the best , you won't be wasting your time coming to see it.
Classic looks and the one of the best colour schemes they did. Great performance and practicality all rolled into one. Redesigned original style panniers , they lock onto the bike, have lockable lids, are like new and.... take a full face helmet too.
