Vintage BMW Motorcycle Owners

Mal tanks for you suggestions. Fixing or modifying the exhaust pipe is not addressing the original defect.
I decided to fix the head issue.
I found one online, but by the time I convince myself to purchase the rebuild head it was too tale, It got sold.

Carott I have to agree with Kurt, the set up on your R26 is not standard. Micro fish and manuals show coil behind the cover, not under the seat. Also the battery case looks similar to an R25. I've the same question as Kurt, is it a 12volt system conversion, the headlight bissell looks different? Als...

A few weeks back, after I mounted the engine, I try to install the exhaust system, but the end of exhaust pipe and muffler didn’t match. The tip-end is 5 inches away from the frame and the muffler. I went online and discovered there are separate numbers for the engine heads and exhaust pipes for eac...

After a few minutes it stalls or can you ride it at higher RPMs or more throttle?
Coil failing after warming up?
Have you check the obvious, fuel lines, spark plug and sp cable, jets, key vibrating out of contact...

Thanks!

I was wondering if the carb bodies themselves might have been different...

My /6 seems to be a bit of a Frankenstein, with a /7 brake light switch too... the previous owner just seemed to have bobbled the bike together...

Andy would you post some pictures of your bike?

Thanks

Heh Everyone Just having a bit of a struggle removing the tapered pin from the driveshaft/pinuon shaft joint. All has gone smoothly till now but this tapered pin just doesnt wanna budge. Anyone hit this point and got past it? Reluctant to go too hard with the hammer but if it will not budge, is the...

Mikunis look "different" in non OEM motorcycles, but it makes everyday riding and cold starting soooo much easier. R90S use Dellorto carbs and I think the RS 255 Kompressor used Amal GP carbs. And yes a perfectly tuned Bing can work flawless. You could also with the right flange install a modern Bin...

My frame, like all similar year BMWs has a hole for the sidecar plug. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50256107303_ee717a2833_h.jpg I thought it is the perfect spot for an auxiliary cutoff switch. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50256950137_64afaac879_h.jpg [/url][url=https://f I found a push...

Wada ya know!

It's been a long while since I've seen a wiffle shield.
You just decreased your top speed by 2 MPH.
And it will be interesting to find out which key it "sings" in.

LoL hahahahaha
Is a bug catcher too!

Renn Shield A few years ago I purchased a Renn Shield. I love the workmanship and quality of the product. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50256797936_9ebb2a33a0_h.jpg Unfortunately vibration cracked the plexiglass. I tried to reach Phil Muller for a replacement, but never find him. Latter I read...
