Vintage BMW Motorcycle Owners

David,
it should be the flat variety, not the stepped style of the Earle fork bikes and I don't know of any reproductions.
Brian

It should be centered. I’m guessing your hub to rim offset is incorrect. Should be about 6mm

Every fastener and washer and it’s plating type(ATR, Phosphate or Chromium) are listed in the BMW parts manual(ersatztielle). Of course, non plated are listed without notation. There was discussion on this a couple years back, try the search function on fasteners.

I just remembered, I initially installed the S-bend pipes on my R67/2 but then swapped them out to straight pipes based on some info I dug up. I also made a mistake regarding the center stand. The 230mm wide one forced the use of S-bend pipes after 526210. So, if you have 190mm, use straight pipes. ...

Micha,
Beware of dealers selling headers listed as fitting both R51/3 and R67/2, they are NOT interchangeable!

Kurt, this is on a bike that’s for sale on EBay. The saddle has Pagusa rubber. I can’t see from photos how it’s mounted or what modifications were done to the seat frame and/or bike frame to do this. And WHY do this on a restoration?! Otherwise looks to be very nice.
Brian

Can anyone identify this seat mount on a '65 R60? A strange, twin spring affair.
Brian

Micha,
S-bend pipes and swallowtail mufflers with hanger tab and cutouts for the new 190mm center stand were installed from 526211. If you use the straight pipe and if you have a 190mm stand, it may interfere.

I see you are new, so welcome!
Do yourself a favor and just pony up for the Barrington book that covers your bike. Clymers is like the National Enquirer of manuals.

I had Metzlers that tossed me around. I switched to Mitas H02 with center lugs and it sure helped!
