I had started another thread "1973 R75/5 Restoration" but brought the bike home today and thought to start over with a more detailed description and some pics. Again, the bike seems unmolested, has set for about 10 years but runs. Here is when I brought it home. Everything works, all the dash lights (although the Neutral lost it's green), all blinkers, horn, high beam, etc. I started it up with no problems. The left carb leaks though, so one of my first things to tackle.
Also included were many spare parts. Bags with rubber bits and pieces, washers, filters, a brand new ignition switch. Luggage rack, back rest, crash bars (brand new!), side cases from a later year I suppose, a spare header since the original has a dent, Vetter fairing with all hardware, spare gaskets and whatever else you can see in the pic. And now the best, original documentation back to the day the bike was bought. A thick folder with notes, maintenance records and receipts.
It came with what I believe are original tools! The tire irons have BMW stamped on them. All the wrenches have "Made in Germany" on them and some have the "BMW" on there as well. Original owners manual is included as well.
