A great ride for the serious AIRHEAD aficionado. Purchased with 30,000 miles on the odometer. Ridden a bit more than 1000 miles since restoration. The bike did not show any signs of abuse at purchase, only neglect.
Purchased June 2007 for $3000.00. More than $2000.00 invested in parts and subcontracted services. Approximately 600 hours of research/study and wrench twisting to restore the bike to its current condition. Most of the paint is original.
A retired toolmaker/machine builder did the restoration process.

Misc. bulbs
Cotton dust cover
Replacement clutch cable
Fork oil
Cleaners, wax. Lubricants and Misc.
Following is a list of items that need done to make the bike 100% mechanically & electrically complete (I ran out of time):
Oil change (last changed fall of 2007 prior to winter storage)
Loosen all fairing screws, realign components and retighten its tweaked out of square a bit.
Front turn signals do not work repair
Horns do not work repair
Replace front fork oil in stock
Replace final drive shaft oil seal
Redo tune up to improve engine response
Exceptions:
Minor damage to fairing and left side mirror
Mismatched paint color on one new battery cover
One change that I had planned was to remove the tires/tubes and spotface the inside of the rim at the valve hole. Replace the tires without tubes to make roadside repairs possible. I researched this thoroughly and it can be done safely with the BMW snowflake wheels.
