Vintage BMW Motorcycle Owners

Thanks again Vech ! I figured that was the only way but best to know in advance.

I am taking the transmissions out of R26 AND a R27. In the past, I've just taken the entire engine and transmission out as a lump...tight squeeze but do-able. But I'm getting too old to take the entire mass out at once. Question: is there room to sneak the transmission back far enough to get it past...

Thanks all ! I can always depend on quick and accurate answers from my fellow members.

I've spent countless, late night hours down the rabbit hole of Snowbum's incredible site but never saw that chart.

Thanks !!

I have a speedo that I've been tasked to find a home for... but can't identify what model it belongs to. The dial reads W=1.144. My best guess is /6 or /7 era but I've also been told it is from a R80. Perhaps there is a chart on the internet somewhere that identifies the various speedo codes and rat...

Vech !! how the heck are ya ? I hoped that you would eventually see my post and tell me the solution... but it is summer and we all have things to do.

Hmmm...that is strange as this is the correct matching number and year is 1953. On page 518 of the Barrington book on the data pages they list the R68 for up to serial 650000 as straight pipes and swallowtail with hanger. then from 650001 the list as coming factory with S-Bend pipes and Swallowtail ...

I’m working on a 1953 R67/2 that appears very original, vin 614864. According to the Barrington Data pages, this bike was offered with straight pipes and swallowtail non-cutout mufflers. BUT…this bike is fitted with the cutout mufflers. Indications are that these mufflers were not adopted until a fe...

Methinks this is a stupid question (grin) ...but can a /2 solo saddle and bread-loaf bum seat be fitted to a /5 bike? Thereare several good reasons why this can't be done; the frame and mounting lugs are are simply not there on the /5. But that said, it occurred to me that possibly there is a mod-ki...
