Sold BMW R45 for sale - Wirral

[Kenny]

Genuine reluctant sale ( blame unforeseen vets fees and incoming bike ). This is a cracking little bike. Tax and M.O.T. free and 1st reg in 1978 so can wear that lovely black and white plate. Without further ado here is the link of this amazing rebuild an says it all really,
I have changed the engine oil and fitted a new stainless gear selector linkage. Want £3,000 ( sorry no offers on this one ). Has OE tool kit and owners manual. Great credit to John who rebuilt her and fully rebuild is in the airhead section.

I can get the rubber diaphragm from Motorworks but cant find anywhere that sells the washer - can anyone advise ? Its part 14 in the diagram below

BMW part number is :

That bike is a bargain. These small capacity boxers are a delight to ride, very smooth motors compared to the bigger airheads and more than enough go to keep you entertained

Christ. Can’t let the OH see that. It’s the engine she likes AND it’s her birth year.
