BMW R-Series description

I bought this bike in 2008 from the second owner in Hurricane WV.  It showed 17469 miles on the speedo. He had partially disassembled the bike and had all parts for it and quite a lot of NOS parts in their original boxes. The bike was 98% complete. VIN # is 624513 and is confirmed to be a 1963 by VBMWO. It is a triple matching engine, frame and and ID Tag.  Rex Floyd completed the total restoration and rode the bike 100 miles and then adjusted the valves and torqued all the engine fasteners. The speedo was connected after this and it now reflects 98 miles which is how far it has been ridden since I picked it up. Speedo was rebuilt by North Hollywood Speedometer and looks and functions as new. All black body parts are finished in the correct single stage paint with accurately reproduced painted pin striping. All other parts were professionally powder coated in a beautiful gloss black. The engine, gearbox and final drive were stripped , cleaned and completely rebuilt with new parts and modern seals so hypoid lubricant can be used in the drive train with no worries. Drivetrain cases and wheel hubs were cleaned and finished by hand with scotch brite pads and WD 40.  No blasting of any kind was involved. The work included correct new pistons and rings,  1st oversize, new slingers ,bearings etc. Heads were redone by a professional  machine shop that include new valves, springs and keepers. The valves have a 3- angle valve job like is commonly seen on high performance engines. The exhaust threads on the heads are perfect. Valve covers were beat up so I replaced them with NOS covers. Crankshaft was totally rebuilt by Brent’s Machine Works and it drives a lightened flywheel for better acceleration. Wheels were spoked with S/S spokes from Buchanans and current new aluminum rims from Benchmark Works and were trued within 10 thousandths. Carbs are original with correct numbers and were cleaned and rebuilt with new floats and lever tops. Brake shoes were lined with modern brake material and installed with the proper copper rivets. headers and silencers are high quality stainless steel reproductions. Handlebars are new along with new S/S risers. handlebar perches were stripped and repainted the correct color. All polished aluminum was cleaned and polished to a high sheen. All cables are new BMW. New Denfield solo seat with new pillar block. All rubber parts were replaced with new. New High quality Albert mirrors. Ignition system was refurbished with a new coil from Bench Mark Works along with copper core plug wires. The headlight was replaced with a Halogen 6V conversion and the tail light is LED for better safety. All 4 shocks were replaced with new. Period saddlebags were painted the same as the body. This bike starts 1st or 2nd kick every time and runs and rides like a new bike. It could be shown in a bike show or be a daily rider. If you are looking for one of the finest restorations in existence, look no further than here. I have all receipts except for labor that total $18399. All provenance will be included in the sale. I have a clean Kentucky title in hand.

Please contact me if you have any questions at 910 850-9899.  Auction goes forward AS IS/WHERE IS, with no warranties or guarantees either expressed or implied.
