Vintage BMW Motorcycle Owners

Man, I feel your pain. In June 2000 I was hit from the rear, on my way to work, in heavy expressway traffic in Worcester,MA.

What do you have for a headlight, the H-4 with the flat lens or the stock lamp with with the convex lens? They use different reflectors.

Craig, ATE disk brakes are plug-and-play on a /5 after you collect the parts. You'll need a /6 tank if you want an under tank master cylinder or use a handle bar master cylinder. In my experience, the ATE brakes are somewhat better than a well setup /5 drum, but not much. But, I've never experienced...
