BMW R69s 1967 Recent Full Restoration Matching Numbers 2nd owner

1967 BMW R69s

History: I bought this bike in 1978, rom I believe the original owner, nd it had 21,000 miles on it. The bike was bought from Legendary Ghost Cycles in Port Washington Long Island. See pictures for original workshop and owner manuals. I rode it as my main ride for a couple years kids came along, ew house, ada, ada, ada. Bike was stored in my heated basement and I had fits and starts of restoration..engine was totally redone (piston, ings, earings etc.) by a mechanical engineer see pics as a trade for building an addition, nd trans was rebuilt by a German mechanic who was employed by corporate VW in NJ before they moved to Michigan… Everything put aside in the late 80’s .. Started back on track a couple years ago and put thousands so far. Once you start, ne thing leads to another. Have thousands in invoices for all other parts and labor from Max BMW and Bench Mark Work .. They say to buy it done that it’s cheaper..TRUE STATEMENT.. So here is what’s done. My labor 200 hours??
