1983 BMW R80ST Rebuild, Refinish Carburetors

This bike came without any carburetors. I found a set of used 32 mm BING carburetors (64/32/323-324) after searching through a box of used carburetor’s in one of Clem Cykowski’s storage rooms that I can use. These are not the model used on the 1983 R80ST but will work. The date stamps on them indicate the 323 was manufactured in 11/1982 and the 324 was manufactured in 10/1982. I have to replace a lot of missing parts on the carburetors.

I repainted the emblems as the white paint was missing on one carburetor and pretty dull on the other.
