Vintage BMW Motorcycle Owners

FYI, The AMA is raffling off a 1975 SS R90s this year. I volunteer at the museum in Pinkerington OH where the bike is on display. Bike is all original including the paint and would be a great addition to someone's collection. My hope is that it will go to someone who appreciates these great bikes. W...

Hello, one of our members mentioned that Ray Atwood is well versed in reproducing the paint scheme of our R90S's. The contact info listed on our site isn't ( I believe) up to date. Is Ray still painting and if so does someone have his current contact info? Thanks, Warren

I know this is a long shot but is anyone aware of any used SS front fenders for sale? I had An incident a few weeks back and i’m seeking a replacement. thanks, warren

Out of necessity I need to make or have made a fender bra for my R90S. Does anyone know of someone that can make one or have suggestions on how one could be made? All suggestions are appreciated. Thanks, Warren

I'm looking at the diaphragm that boxer 2 valve sells and was going to call him Monday to bounce my s...

Hello, I'm doing some preventive maintenance and have the clutch out of the bike. I've measured the relaxed height of the diaphragm and it measures 17mm. I believe the spec to be 19mm. Is this spec correct and if so do you think I should replace the diaphragm? Clutch operation seems to be normal wit...

Didn't Snowbum offer some thoughts? Off the top of my head, it would affect the alignment of the tires front-to-rear and might affect how much braking drum surface was in contact for the rear brake. Plus, the wheel splines would not make full contact. thanks for getting back to me. I haven't reached...

Can anyone explain the result of not having the correct rim to (drum hub offset) on a /6? I have been riding my R60/6 for 8 years now after completing a frame up restoration. I've logged 6K miles on the bike without any issues. I stumbled on Snowbum's rim offset guide yesterday and realized that whe...
