Description

Hi all,

Toying with the idea of selling my BMW R80 Cafe Racer Project.

Due to going self employed one of my projects has to go to fund work equipment and unfortunately i think it has to be the bike.

I'm currently still in the process of rebuilding the bike and am currently on with engine. I have stripped the engine down as my plan was to replace the Alternator & Diode Board, nothing wrong with the original parts i just wanted to clean up the engine & give it a mini service.

Including the price of the bike, I'm currently around £7200 into the bike hence the price. Please see list below of parts I have acquired and work i have had done to get it to the stage its currently at ;
