I'm new at this and may not be observing the proper protocols, but here goes. I have a '74 R90/6 with a '62 Watsonian Monza and a Rabid Transit fairing.
I want to remove the fairing and would like to restore the headlight and left turn signal. The large gas tank is a bit ratty and I am thinking about replacing it with a used tank from a 72 /5 for $700.00 but would consider getting it refinished, painted and pinstriped if it could be done for less. Both fenders need refinishing as well. My closest BMW dealer is Max BMW in Brookfield, CT but I would prefer a local independent shop if anyone knows of one. Also, I currently have no rear tail lights although the brake and directional lights work. I'm not sure if the fairing wiring is the culprit. A previous owner added accessory outlets and switches for radar detectors, gps, etc., none of which seem to work. All advice would be very welcome.
