I finally got the next Beemer purring like a German sewing machine. 1974 BMW R75/6. Known as a "Slash 6" or an Airhead or Boxer to some! This one took more work on the electriks and brakes and less work on the motor/carbs. Adjusted the valves. Getting 145+ psig per cylinder (Max is 150) which is awesome. Cleaned, synched and balance the carbs. Spiffed her up a bit while keeping the original patina! I'll get her posted on eBay soon and we'll see how she goes! I'll post a link later for those curious.     |
