“All the parts are painted and pinstriped, not powder coated.”
“I bought a nice set of carbs that where missing and sent them to the Bing factory to get them refurbished to as new.”
“I bought a new headlight glass and an air box.”
“I also bought a new NOS throttle assembly that was missing.”
“From what I can see without putting it together it is missing the brake shoes, and that is about it.”

Currently located in Venice, California, this BMW is offered on a Bill of Sale only. The sale comes with a California title from the 1970s that is torn up and likely no longer valid – the bike is no longer in CA DMV’s system. This photo has been edited to hide personal information.
