We restored this 1988 BMW R100GS just last year for an older client, the bike is a little tall for him and the time has come to pass it along. I'm 6'00 and find the bike to have a comfortable riding position, however yes, on the taller side.The bike was sourced locally out of Ojai, California with just under 40,000 miles prior to the work.The engine has gone through a crank out rebuild. The engine was stripped to the case and glass beaded before being rebuilt with new bearings throughout, new euro spec high compression pistons, new nikasil cylinders and refurbished cylinder heads. The gearbox went through a similar process, stripped and glass beaded before being rebuilt with new bearings and any worn gears replaced with new. Original Bing carbs were vapor blasted and rebuilt in the process.The bodywork has been refinished in Avus Black paint and completed with new decals, the frame wears original paint. The bike came equipped with a rare factory optioned tachometer, of which was rebuilt along with the speedo during the restoration work. Headers are stainless, complete with a cross over pipe as per the factory exhaust, mated to the original collector and chrome muffler. Wheels were stripped and vapor blasted before being rebuilt with new bearings, stainless spokes and black anodized Sun rims, 21" front and 17" rear. The rebuilt wheels are clad in Michelin Awake Wild tires.New handlebars, new hand controls and switches. New grips and mirrors. The original seat was reupholstered with a new factory cover. Aftermarket aluminum panniers from Unit garage, complete with keys. The cases are easily removable for convenience. Ohlins adjustable suspension on the rear. An auxiliary light from PIAA was installed, the factory crash bar was modified in the process to seamlessly mount the light. Along with this modification came an aftermarket side stand from SureFoot for ease of use, the factory side stand was notoriously awkward. The sidestand was modified to correct the lean angle Pictures speak a thousand words. It's a handsome motorcycle that runs like a new machine. 40 year old air cooled BMWs aren't expected to be fast, this one will pleasantly surprise you with its spritely performance. Bike is located in Pasadena, California 91107 and happy to ship nationwide. Our other work can be seen at Roughchild.com
