Vintage BMW Motorcycle Owners

Came back for update. I found the old rubber pieces inside the steel holes of the brackets, all hardened and painted with a few layers of old black paint. This explains why the new rubber could not be inserted. Gave those bracket holes a good clean and now all is installed and fine. Thank you all ag...

Thanks Klaus, I went as you said and all look well. I realize that the old sloping pin is worn, I will make my own from 4340 steel, should have a piece of this stuff lying around somewhere. Plobably will tap it to 8x1.25 as I can't find my 8x1 die. Will use loctite in addition to the split pin. Than...

Pls explain to me where should the forks metal bracket fit in? And where is grommet nr. 17 going to be located? I have purchased them all new, for both sides of the lamp. Both the bracket and the lamp surface have a serrated area, so logically they should touch each other, but then it is not making ...

Thank you Kurt .
Will do.

I have just red the article from Craig Vechorik about replacing the coil or/and magneto on the side of the road.
