Re: Dual disc for a 1976 R90/6.

Not to be a jerk or burst your bubble however, parts to do what you want to do may be difficult to find. I say this as you are not the only one who wants to go dual. The good news is there maybe parts out there from someone who switched from the ATE dual brakes to Brembo brakes. I did that swap on m...

Re: Another /6 Electrical Question

LOL, if the previous owner was in the headlight shell doing any "repairs" or modifications, it could well look like a bundle of jumping snakes. Everything is however pretty easy to figure out. BMW color coded everything so as long as your are dealing with factory wiring, everything has its...

Re: Fiamm horn/relay question.

I give the higher mark to Don, as a classic read. I haven't read the book series the Expanse show is based on. I liked the show, St.

Re: Fiamm horn/relay question.

You have the excellent bike for puttering on back roads with the added benefit of being able to carry a pack horse load for trips if you so desire.

Rocinante, is also the name of the space ship in the new Expanse series, lol. But yeah I knew about Don Quixote. LOL. St.

Re: Fiamm horn/relay question.

Solid color wires are usually non controlled, by this I mean no switches, relays, pure power. Color wires with stripes or dashes are controlled. Yes, the green/black wire is the power+ for the horn itself. It originates at the left side of the top fuse, goes to the stater relay pin #86. From there i...

Re: Fiamm horn/relay question.

So am I reading correctly, you installed one horn or two? I really don't think you need a relay for just a single horn even a fiamm current draw from a single horn should not be more than 8 amps. Less than the fuse blow point. Are there specifications for the horn's power supply? I don't want to mes...

Re: Another /6 Electrical Question

On your bike, the taillight and parking light (the little bulb in the headlight) are fused at the bottom fuse. So for the issue with no taillight, start with a fuse check. That fuse's power comes from the solid gray wires on the other side of the fuse the wires become Gray/black stripe. So the taill...
