Anyone looking for a winter project

Looks like an important part has fallen off and rolled underneath…..
 
Got some more photos,
Wheels are nice,
Just need a good clean:D

The starter motor is missing,so no attempt has been made by me to run the bike,
I’ve had a torch down the spark plug holes and the bores look ok,
The engine turns over and has compression.

The bike has come South Africa,so there is very little damp corrosion.
I have the nova cert and a dating cert from bmw,it’s a 1975 build.
The seat base is very good.
Generally the bike is good,
An ideal restoration project or just recommission,wipe its arse with an oily rag and ride it:thumby:

Well, this bike is about to make a reappearance and I'll tell a story here! It's been on a journey since November 2021 but is soon to be back on the road.
 
I am not a fan of the 90s, because of those horrible brakes. Yes, they are horrible, I had them on my first RS and could never get them to work as I wanted.... swapped for a Brembo one as soon as they came out! BUT, I love to see them in other peoples' hands. :D I shall watch with avid interest. :beerjug:
