hello cole wasn`t there a large landslip in the big sur area (not far from to the rocky Creek Bridge) in may this year? http://edition.cnn.com/2017/05/24/us/california-landslide-scenic-highway/index.html we did a part of this tour last year in September. but we skipped LA at Santa Monica , driving t...

hello we know this issue as well in Germany, and the recall concerns (as i know) the 19" front wheel of the first 247 series, means r100, r100rs and so on. my old r65 `81 model (i`ve two of them now) has as well the 18" snowflake build in. but this is interresting, the recall will never be...

hello, I have a new project... because i did a verify of my sparepart store room. there are soooooo many R65 parts, what to do with all These parts? selling, ebay, sparepartmarekt... no, never! finally I found this main frame with documents, forc and engine, gearbox and rear drive. dismantelled ever...

hello steve, 9,5 :1 is a very high comression ratio with an aircooled cylinder head, i would go the same way to kurts recommendation to 8,8:1 .. 9:1 which will give you a lower piston dome temperature. engine pinging reduces the life of the pistons dramatically. you should use then a 2nd spark head....
