BMW R75/6 "Barn Find"

A mere 60k miles on the clock...poor bike never lived even a partial life......bike is in pieces but is complete and PO says everything is there.......Harley handle bar risers?

Parts bucket.......weathered.........
The latest addition to the butchers block.......appears to have a lot of usable parts.........
Someone removed the spark plugs then let it sit out in the Oregon weather.....engine guts are rusted.....
Tank is undented.....saddle bag condition is rough........carbs look OK.........valve covers appear to be undamaged......I'll use them on the R100S engine.......

Has the alloy turn signals.......a monster period back rest.......apparently has some "other brand" handle bar risers......

All in all I'm paying more than it is worth but it will be delivered to my door and the salvage parts sales should cover the cost of the thing......
