Vintage BMW Motorcycle Owners

Please forgive me for this self-promotion :) , but I would like to add to this list of books also this one... :) http://www.asiservice.it/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=81 http://www.asiservice.it/image/cache/data/libri-ASI-SHOP-BMWweb-1000x1000.jpg I tried to collect a lot of useful...

Yes, I can confirm you that they are the original ones (hard to find in good shape...!). The black thin stem curved mirrors were mounted only on the R90S. The other models of the /6 series were fitted with mirror of the same shape , but chromed... (and someone paints in matt black these ones to fit ...

... ma sei dappertutto!!!

The cable for curved metal guide type is still available from Motobins in UK.
Here is the Motobins code for that cable: Part No.35350F
The curved guides have been mounted on the 1st series and on some 2nd series bikes. 1975 on: short guide w/out curve.

good quality, nice price.

White with red/grey pinstriping is a R100RS scheme...

It's right to check the steering bearing, but check also the rear shock absorbers. When they are too soft (or at the end of their life) wobbling is a quite common result...

On the 90S there were only Everbest (first bikes of series 1) and Karcoma petcocks, the older type with the "straight down" connector.
Germa petcocks and Karcoma petcocks with the angled connector were mounted only later, on the bikes of series /7.
