Rcatech emulators on a R100RS

[Zwicky, Eric]

Thanks Tony.   I'm in Richmond, I would never ask any of my Airhead 
friends to brave DC / NoVA / F-burg I95 nightmare.    With advice from 
the list, and RealOEM / MAX fiche, and Brook's site, I am confident I 
can do most of this stuff myself.   I've already rebuilt completely my 
'76 R90/6, except for the bottom end, which has not shown signs yet of 
needing attention.

We also have a local Airhead mechanic named Dave Carmean in case I need 
to carry something over to him.  And Anton is just 70 miles away.

BTW the original forks are sitting in the garage floor.   The ones on 
the bike are '84 with Brembo brakes.

Mostly it was pulling the parts for the customer’s convenience—their contents vary from shop to shop. I am not sure BMW ever offered a kit. I think the shops do that less and less (sort of the same demise as the airhead tech knowledge base—we are on our own).
