Vintage BMW Motorcycle Owners

I have two R27’s and both came to me with 3.25x18 on the front and 3.5x18 on the rear. They still are wearing these tires and they do not rub. You do need to pull them out through the swing arm quite rough and taking the air out of the tire helps. I left them on and they are fine.

The 1967 parts book says the main bolt and the smaller m6 bolts are all pho. black while the Barrington manual says they are cad plated. I have both available and was wondering if anyone here can help give some guidance...

Hello all, I am restoring my R69S and am about ready to paint the side car outlet cover. When I cleaned the outlet itself it turned out it was brass and shined up very nicely. When new were these outlets painted or just left in the natural brass and then left to get oxidized? I am trying to be as tr...

So, the following is what I have done and the misfire is all gone. I have a small flat spot at around 2,000 rpm but I will work on that later. Following is what I did and what I think it was! 1) I changed the plugs. It did NOT fix the problem. 2) I cleaned the carbs. It did NOT fix the problem. 3) C...
