Vintage BMW Motorcycle Owners

and I have one more question how many frame and engine stamp sets have left the factory and are in private hands? and I know for sure there are people restamping both frame and engines as in forging R68 and R69S bikes who knows about the prewar stuff I wouldn't even buy a R68 or R69S bike, for real ...

repop American parts are made everywhere including third world Asian countries........ and you are lucky if you get what you pay for as in will that Asian repop hinged rear fender even bolt on? just like buying a Polish repop fender for a BMW and on and on but.......... the guys who have written boo...

I bought a repop "bmw mobile traditions" throttle for a plunger bike from the same

oh wait....... maybe it was a clutch lever perch


having enough originals in my hand to be qualified to say.... guess if was 100% faithful or otherwise?

I paid 3.61 yesterday........... when I had most of a R66 here, there was a certain very helpful gent that has restored a few of them....... almost like magic any part I needed ID, he had excellent pix of them and could readily note details from one year to the next now I'm thinking that if such a p...

I have seen several of those books and there isn't one that I feel remotely compares with the better American iron publications much less being absolutely authoritative on even one single model of BMW motorcycle...... did I miss that when skimming thru a few of those? I've taken thousands of very de...

although most here would refer to me as a kid I've made my living in the mc business for many years and have been around long enough to have purchased running original panheads for 2gs that would fetch 10 times or more than that today human nature aside....... and believe me I'd rather deal with Kma...

ok I'll do a fly explanation of siphoning and how that results in a slightly leaky petcock and needle/seat facilitating the entire contents of a fuel tank being emptied into an engine crankcase........ once an engine is at operating temp and then turned off it will indeed become hotter (called a hea...

if the fuel level in the float bowl is incrementally increased it will flow into the engine before it ever leaks a drop onto the ground as far as siphoning, during the cool down part of the heat soak, only a small amount is available from lines with shut off non-leaking fuel taps and I am 99% certai...

I beg to differ if you were indeed correct then a leaky petcock would only drip fuel on the ground don't you agree? if not please explain why not to me as though I were six now the amount from that could possibly be syphoned from only the float bowl should easily be vaporized by a machine that sees ...

umm if fuel is dripping from thos bings it is quite possible and very likely it can make it's way into the chamber just as easily as flowing out the upwardly tilting carb bellmouth the viton needle tops are light years ahead of the retarded toothpick sized metal needle everyone knows those do not wo...
