Vintage BMW Motorcycle Owners

How do you know it isn’t the coil? I installed the blue coil and new condensor and the bike is a one or two kicker at all times. Timing the magneto was a big help too.

I just sold one on eBay. Sorry we couldn’t connect sooner.

I keep looking for a definitive Heidenaur vs Metzler Block C winner for my next R69S tires but neither ever seems to come out on top as best vintage looking tire. Guess it’s a coin toss.

Keep trying would like to see it. How many miles, how original? My original ‘75 was parked early ‘80’s and didn’t move until 2017. Thank goodness for those who park these bikes and save them for others down the road.

Yes, that would be very helpful. If I can’t find one at the local hardware, I could order one on the internet if I know the thread and length.

Thanks

Mine fell out and I was able to buy a new knob and spring but cannot source the small flathead screw that holds it on. Thanks, really frustrated trying to figure out where to source one of th...

Put them on eBay and let the bidding begin. Like they say they are only worth what someone will pay you for them, supply and demand. Would love to see you get a nice amount for them, helps the rest of us determine the value of our bikes and their parts.
