Description:
We have now finished all the changes necessary to make this beautiful BMW just a bit more perfect and much closer to Original as it came from the factory. Only 627 Miles! 1974 R75/6. A BEAUTIFUL BMW! When we first got this bike in on a Trade-in we knew that it was very special and wanted it to be as perfect as possible when we were finished preparing it for sale. This is Serial #4910001! This is the FIRST US R75/6 off the line in the FIRST year of production for the /6 Series!!!!! Fresh 10K Service. Motorcycles Vintage 71 PSN . the hand controls needed to be refinished and some of the cable boots were needing to be replaced. We also performed the BMW Factory recommended 10K Service on the bike; a comprehensive end to end inspection service and adjustment. Braided Stainless front brake line (we decided to leave this instead of restoring it to rubber). the seat was a SWB (short wheelbase) and needed to be exchanged for a LWB (long wheelbase) seat. New original round front footpeg rubbers and NEW NLA (No Longer Available from BMW) original round rear footpeg assemblies were sourced and installed. We also addressed all the other small stuff mentioned above as well as several other small details previously unnoticed. the centerstand has had the tine replaced and has been repainted. We wanted to go ride this bike for days when it was finished. the bike comes with the original tool kit hand pump and Owners Manual. the bike had Incorrect hand grips and the centerstand tine was missing. 1974 BMW R75/6 SOLD.... the horn was functional but was not the correct one with black body and chrome disc in front. It was already equipped with an aftermarket Brown style sidestand (we like these a lot as they are much more functional than the original stand). the FIRST off the line. We built a new LWB seat using all new parts on an original 1974 metal pan and is now the correct length. the wheel spokes have been re-done with stainless (well leave them as they are). This blows it up to maximum size (about 6 times window size) and you can use the scroll bars to move around your view point like your eye is 2 feet from the bike. http://picturepush.com/+sqE2 Click on one of the thumbnail photos on the left to see it larger on the right. It is very close to what a new 1974 R75/6 would have been like when picked up from a Dealer; a truly wonderful machine to ride! However reality and other necessary work interfered so we only got to add 50 miles on the odometer. the front disc was a 1975 on drilled disc; we planned to put an original 1974 disc back on it. 74 R75/6 Black. Then scroll down to the bottom right and click on the word Full. the handlebars have been exchanged for proper USA type bars and the hand controls have been refinished and correct hand grips installed. Tires are like new. None of this was really NECESSARY as only an expert would know the difference but we felt that the historic significance of this bike warranted making it perfect. the previous owner had a complete mechanical and cosmetic restoration done five or six years ago and hasnt ridden it much since.

Unseen is the Progressive Suspension front progressively wound fork springs to improve road irregularity responses and lessen diving under hard braking. the new owner wanted an upgraded suspension so we installed a new pair of Progressive 1200 Series rear shocks and installed the original polished aluminum covers on them so that they look very similar to original. the drilled front disc has been exchanged for the correct 1974 only non-drilled disc. Black. We would be happy to answer any questions you have about this BMW motorcycle; please call us at 614.837.XXXX. We did notice a few things that we wanted to address in an effort to make it PERFECT and as ORIGINAL as it came from the factory;. the engine and frame numbers match. It didnt really NEED service but we wanted to know that we had addressed everything and that nothing was missed. Then click on the larger photo on the right to see it in a full screen pop-up window. We are totally confident that the new owner will fall in love with this beautiful machine and give it a well appreciated and well cared for second life. the Dyna III ignition is a good upgrade; well leave it but move the main unit out of site to the frame backbone...Click here for more information
