See my most recent post:
Actually, this is the following list of items for sale, $2500 FOR THE LOT to the first person to arrive with a truck!
I am serious!
I have not ridden in two years now, and I am tired of spending the money. I have a new bank loan coming (for a much needed car) and I need to liquidate. I am too lazy to piecemeal this out, so I am offering it at a very attractive price just to take it off my hands. Thank you for your considerations.
1 brand new H-F parts washer. (I was getting rid of it, anyway - stupid purchase)
1 1979 R65 (http://www.pbase.com/tomfarr/bw_2_sept_2008) w/1981 Nikasil engine in good working order
The tank & front fender are freshly painted to factory spec Bronco Brown by Billy Jay of central Indiana (http://www.pbase.com/tomfarr/new_paint)
(over 30 years painting BMWs.)
The bike is modified, of course, with a solo seat and luggage rack welded to the subframe (http://www.pbase.com/tomfarr/solo_seat).
The bike has brand new Bub headers and like-new BMW mufflers
Included is a brand new set of BMW Touring saddlebags and BMW loops and rear rack
Old BMW heated grips with holes cut in the ends (a "duh" moment) that still work
Broken speedometer
Nearly un-used tires, that are now 2.5 years old - Bridgestone Spitfires
LED tail light insert & Hyper-lights
OEM 4-way flashers
1 spare '79 R65 frame, swingarm & driveshaft, with title
2 spare subframes from a '78-'80 R65
The original seat, minus the tailpiece
1 set of freshly painted (black) Heinrich Leg shields
1 freshly painted (Bronco Brown w/pinstripe) tailpiece for a '81-'84 R65 (I was planning on having a bench seat, as well as the solo)
Front & rear underseat toolbox/glovebox for '81-'84 R65
1 short block 1980 R65 w/some damage to the case. (internals and salvage)
One right-hand cylinder (cast iron) and cylinder head (rebuilt by Bob Grauer).
2 (?) R-H valve covers (square) - one has a "R" on it, the other, no mark.
4 R65 cylinder studs
The original headers are pretty nasty, but they are here and with no holes, but a fair-sized dent in the left one.
1 damaged, but fixable R65 front fender
1 totally trashed 1979 transmission (inside not seen.)
1 pair of well used OEM mufflers, still in good working order
1 alternator rotor
1 chrome Reynolds luggage rack for '78-'80 R65
The Honda
1976 Honda CB200 w/title and a bunged-up centerstand/brake lever pivot
The tank is in very good condition, with a beautiful interior
The engine runs, and I have replaced the broken shift-shaft
I have yet to put the side covers back on the engine, which I was replacing the phillips-head screws with hex socket head screws.
Otherwise the bike came to me complete except for brake & clutch levers and mirrors
I have installed a black drag handlebar, and I still have the (slightly bent) original bar.
I have replaced the front drive sprocket (1 broken tooth) and have a new rear sprocket and chain.
One of the countershaft cover's mounting bosses is broken from the engine case. All parts accounted for.
New clutch springs & oil screen installed with the replacement shift shaft.
1 set of brand new patterned muffers from David Silver Spares (https://www.davidsilverspares.co.uk/CB200/part_28123/)
1 set of brand new short reverse-cone mufflers from ? (except for one perforated screen, you can see straight through them. I bought these first, then decided I could put up with the seams on the replicas for the enhanced performance and quiet.)
1 drum brake (needs cleaning) from a CL200 (double-leading shoe, I think!)
1 CB200 Honda Shop Manual
1 OEM replacement pivot for the centerstand/brake issue
1 special tool for disassembling the centrifugal oil filter
1 spare shift-shaft (good)
1 spare brake pedal (much nicer than the original)
1 complete set of gaskets, and one complete set of gaskets opened for this project.
2 carburetor rebuild kits.
Everything needed to rebuild the air filters (NLA, but rebuild-able with some effort).

:o
Rob,
I can understand the situation that you find yourself in. I hope that things turn around quickly and that you're able to get back on a motorcycle again, soon.
-
I just added the Reynold rack to the list. No doubt I'll stumble across other things.

Rob, ya got any rubber mounts for the battery tray? If ya come across em..let me know. Jeremy :o

$12.29 from Max BMW. I had to replace one last March when I was putting the new engine in.

The sun has been shining, it has been in the 70's, and I have woken early 3 days in a row, inspiring me to finish installing my transmission and see if I can't burn a tank of gas before the snow flies!

I have Friday off work. The weather forecast is sunny and in the 80s all weekend!!!
I expect to get my swingarm hooked back up on Friday. Tighten the steering head bearings a bit, check EVERYTHING over carefully, and go out for a ride!

(and I moved this thread, because I am not quite as depressed as I was on Sunday... ::))

Way to go Rob! Thanks for the link. Sounds like the weather is looking up. Here is my neck of the woods. http://www.wunderground.com/cgi-bin/findweather/getForecast?query=70040&wuSelect=WEATHER

Hey there unibober, that's the weather site I use. I guess they used to be a terrorist organization back in the 60s, I learned that during the most recent presidential campaign. But at some point Weather Underground switched to giving weather forecasts.

Here's a little background on them .

I guess I'll have to write the follow up article detailing their gradual move toward predicting the weather, after one of the first-among-equals realized that you do indeed need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows.

Gosh, Rob, I hope you'll be back on a bike sometime soon, even if you part with the R65. Keep us posted, and stay in touch. If you ride again, someone in this group might be able to part with an extra bike, being that it's you who's interested.
Wish I had the space, the funds, and the expertise to take advantage of all the stuff you're offering.
If you're able to sell your cache, please let the buyer know that if he/she can't use (or doesn't want) the Heinrich leg guards, I'd be interested in knowing the asking price if the buyer wants to part them out.
Cheers,
John
