Paint for a 1943 R75 wh

Does anyone know of a company that would mix a flat paint for a war bike. I have a number RAL7028, it is a beige color not the North Africa type. There are European shops that sell it, but can't ship to the US. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Viteye

Try this

HPHommes in Germany has these for 298.00 Euro. Expensive
I have a 1943 R75 WH that I am putting back together. I have
been looking on Ebay Germany for parts, you can find them, but
it will cost you. Good luck

BMW/2 Electrics by Doug Rinckes

I got my copy today from Lulu.com delivered by FedEx. Just as advertised. No need to rush as they actually print the book as needed. Pass it around.

Maybe this will work.

I found a sight that offers book printing and publishing online. It's called Lulu.com. I ordered a copy for $44.99 plus tax and shipping. I will post the results as to how good of a deal it is. I paid using PayPal.

I missed this boat.

I tried to get that copy from Vech. I was told that the person who forwarded the books to him no longer responded. He moved with no contact information. So, for now you can't get a copy from Vech.

Value of a 1943 R75

Hi, I have the chance to buy a 1943 R75. It was being restored by the owner but he died. All the parts are waiting to be put back together. The engine parts are in plastic bags, the rest has been painted. All (I hope) new bearings and gaskets are there. I bought a parts list and manual from Germany,...

I have had the lift for a

I have had the lift for a short time. I can't believe how much pleasure I get from working on a motorcycle, since removing all the kneeling.
Why didn't I get one years ago, I hope there is a bit of wisdom mixed in there somewhere.

HF bike lift

I just bought one Friday for the $299 price and set it up in my garage. The only negative so far is the diamond plate doesn't give much traction. So I'm thinking of spraying some Rino bed liner on it.
