They are still made, the Frankfurter Modell petcocks. I am not sure who has the dies/tooling but I bought two of them off of Tillmanns. A few other vendors on eBay have them for sale as well. I have had them installed for 6 years with no need for rebuild. Those petcocks are way better then the Everb...

How much are you asking?

How much are you asking? Antigravity has Lithium batteries that would fit into that case.

Fork Lock - R2

Anyone have a photo of what the fork lock cylinder looks like for a R2? It has the same type hole a R25/2 would have but it is tapered at the end. The lock does have Neiman stamped into it.

R2 Models

Well it started to leak

How do I go about doing that, how much and should I use the grease in the tube like I use to grease the...

Riding

I ride my R25/3 as much as I can. I can cruise at 50-55mph all day long but I have had it at 65mph before and it was vibrating so much the speedometer bracket came loose and the whole speedometer was turning. If you are on the highway, you have to drive with the thought of keeping the speed so I dri...

Looks like it was leaking

Looks like it was leaking from there. A whole lot of oil came gushing out. How do I go about replacing the seal?
