Vintage BMW Motorcycle Owners

I should have looked at my old photos of the original side covers. Here they are.

Today I installed the exhaust and the two carbs. After that I took the top triple tree back off because I forgot to run the turn signal wires from the headlight bucket through the ears and out the turn signal post. What a PITA. In hindsight it was best because the wires were a mess and needed to be ...

If your referring to covers for a solo seat .....

New pan, foam, seat cover, rubber pads, everything but the two hinges which I already had. Once installe...
