That is for sure. If you like the custom mods, it's a no brainer. Knowing it was assembled and set up by someone with decades of airheads experience takes out all the risk from any typical barn find or PO who hasn't a clue and is ready to bail due to errors a plenty meaning it ain't working right and I give up. How many stripped threads you gonna find? Just the low risk of nasty issues is worth a whole bunch.
The mufflers are Dunstall Decibel replicas. I have one on my 900CC R75/7 and it works better than the stock pattern with a 2 in 1 set up, so they must be free flowing . The end of mine finishes about 1" short of the inner face of the rim, which is a fair bit shorter than those shown, for whatever reason, and fitted right on to the OEM bracket.
I've been looking for a spare Airhead turn signal....this must be the rare limited edition Asian model.... http://www.ebay.com/itm/1971-72-73-...0981&pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&vxp=mtr
Holy smokes....a $130100.00 BMW?:eek1 Somebody pushed the wrong button? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/BMW-...1665718?pt=US_motorcycles&hash=item5aec4f2236
I'm guessing bidder p***m fat-fingered his 13,000 bid and zero-feedback bidder 3***t found out about it and exposed the bid with his own bogus one.
I can see it now, trying to haggle with a seller. "I'll give you $9000." "Oh, no no no! Lookie here, this one sold for $130,100!"
My long search is over. Finally found that "BMW R75/5" Toggle Switch I've been searching for......and "free" shipping no less. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1971-72-73-...0959&pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&vxp=mtr
Hella "Flick Toggle switch 2762". Shown in the Hella Marine catalogue in brass but without the On/Off plate. Good luck trying to find it in North America and like all good marine switches won't be cheap.:eek1 http://www.hellamarine.com/en/products/accessories/switches/flick-toggle-switch.html Now I have to go look in the box'o'switches, some may be valuable...
Item 360482155402 What a pile of rusty junk. Not even from the bike he claims. Embarrassing that he's from my state. Yeah, I'm going to buy a rusty oil pump. That junk looks like it burned and then was dropped into salt water to extinguish the fire.
You might be onto something there, Anton. There's some freakishness going on in the driveshaft dept. there too. :huh
http://www.ebay.com/itm/BMW-R50-5-R...Parts_Accessories&hash=item4abb793fdf&vxp=mtr Some trashed Karkomas for $150.... at worst I can get new ones from Hucky for $30 cheaper, probably even as low as $80 for a pair of good used ones. But, ya know.... patina.
