Vintage BMW Motorcycle Owners

I bought one just like that one from Bob's.... for some reason the regulator for the R27 is way more expensive...not sure why..they all do the same thing...I wonder if a voltage regulator from a twin would work.. or possibly a voltage regulator from another european vintage bike with a generator sys...

I need some input Guys..... The stands came out beautiful.... I have already changed the locking device...I diden't like that link pin arrangement.... so I am threading the hole and using a knob with a 3/8' stud ...will make it much more user friendly...nicer too.. NOW... the stands came to me from ...

The website is now up and running.... it's www.rapose.biz If you look at it and see anything that needs to change please let me know....

Thanks Tandy..... I should have my new website up and running shortly..... I have had such a response to the engine stands that I am planning on expanding into stands for earlier bikes...and transmission stands...maybe even some special tools.

The system is adjusted for full advance at high speed....38 degrees total...and then when it idles back down it will show near the S mark...(that is already 9 degrees)...and that allows it to perform well at idle...and also at full rpm without pinging... The regulator mounting plate used to be inclu...
