Service for 1970 to 1995 Models
It’s a pretty wide range, but the DNA is common from 1970 to 1995. Complete service and restoration is available for everything from the early short wheelbase slash 5’s all the way up to the paralever R100’s of the mid 1990’s.
Typical Service for 1970’s bikes
For the most part the early to mid seventies models are becoming very collectible and, frankly, a little worn out. These bikes typically come to me needing the most amount of work compared to any other model. Generally they need:
Complete head service
Cylinder re-bore
Various Seals and Gaskets
Carb overhaul
Steering Bearings
Tuning
Next Level
When the bike has seen higher mileage the following becomes more typical:
Clutch replacement
Gearbox Overhaul
Complete Engine Overhaul
Final Drive Rebuild
Suspension
Good, Better, Best
Clients needing the above services will often elect to take the repair to a higher standard and at that point the project will turn into a restoration. This would include:
Total bike disassembly and inspection
Frame paint or powder coat
Body paint and striping
Model and period correct repair and replacement of every detail such as the seat, the switches, suspension, wheels, etc.
Perfection limited only by the budget
