Just for the record, no amount of torque will hold the output shaft flange unless both sides of the taper are perfectly clean and dry. Then, torque using the BMW holder tool, to 150 foot-pounds, no more. Higher torque actually ?blows out? the flange taper and makes it never seat securely.

Simple rule applies here: Do it right or leave it to somebody who will.

Can anyone recommend a good airhead mechanic in Western Pa?  Has anyone used the BMW dealer in Pittsburgh for airhead maintenance?  Any recommendations?

Thanks,

Bill

Awesome new Chris!  I hope everyone is enjoying the beautiful weather this weekend. Mae and I are enjoying an ice cream now after exploring many dirt roads outside of Berkeley Spings WV on the XT 225!

Try Craig   (412) 759-1726. He?s in greensburg.   The PGH dealer is good for parts.  Ask for Glenn.  I?ve know him for years.

Hello fellow friends of older BMWs.
I have a sweet R27. Problem is when I push in the key, the headlight and parking lamp will not come off. Also, I cannot feel anything when I rotate the key.... there should be some clicks or pulses when the key shifts let or right.
All else works, .?
Any ideas?
How do I get the switch assy out of the headlight shell???
Stumped (for the moment) in Glenville, PA.
Please call or email Walt at 717 229 2840.

Walt, 
If you find that you cannot repair and reinstall the ornery OEM switch board and are not a purist, Rocky point cycle has a updated/keyed ignition switch that  fits and will put a smile on your face. It nestles under the spring loaded Switch cover and all you have to do once installed is epoxy the new rocky point key to the black bmw oem key top and you can?t tell the difference except the switch will last for 100 years.If you?re going to try to save the oem switch be very careful when you bend the 4  tabs back that hold the switchboard to the top of the nacelle.I don?t recall the fix for the right/ switch indents. Someone will chime in on that one. Good luck.

Regards
Bruce

Walter,

I also purchased the Rocky Point Cycle ignition switch replacement for my
project /5, and can vouch for the quality and fit. I haven't thought of the
epoxy trick tho. Thanks, Bruce!

I've a set of original BMW mufflers for sale.? Cosmetically they do have some spots in the finish.? Some of the spots might polish out with a bit of attention.? No rust or no holes in either.? Some rust on the brackets. ? Overall good to very good condition.?? Not show quality but great for an everyday rider.



These came off a 83 R100RS with less than 32k on it.? They're a straight replacement for any /7 up to 84 Airheads.? Not for R65's, GS's or ST's.



Will send pictures to anyone who is interested.



$100 if picked up or $120 shipped via USPS.

Subject: [PAAirheads] Update:  Bring a Friend
Message-ID: <002401d5284e$4bd1abd0$e3750370$@net>

Hello BMW Boxer Enthusiasts,

 

It appears as though we have most of the R80GS and R65LS riders signed up
that plan on attending.  There is still plenty of room for other
riders/attendees, so at this time I would like to open the rally up to other
BMW boxer enthusiasts, such as the R90S and R100RS riders and other vintage
BMW boxer riders as well.

 

If you are already signed up for the rally or have hesitated because you did
not have a fellow friend to ride with, now is the time to join us and to ask
your friend(s) to join you also on your journey.  

 

I know there is still plenty of time left, but I would like to fill the
roster, so I have some chance of covering my expenses, at this point, I will
be in deep trouble, so please help me recruit some more BMW boxer riders to
join in on the celebration.  I have a lot planned and we have some really
good guests with interesting presentations
not to mention Hans A. Muth?s
last visit to these shores.  

 

We will be covering the last of Hans? design work with BMW, he has put a lot
of time and effort into this event, with a very special presentation, that
has never before been divulged and you folks will be the first to see and
here this news from Hans himself.

 

I?ve made some changes to the website and decided to keep the rally fee the
same,  so please help me spread the word and fill the house for this event.

 

I spoke with artist and vintage BMW enthusiast John Ritter recently and he
is working on a very special commemorative poster which I?m sure you will
like and will be available,  Hans A. Muth is providing me with very unique
graphic artwork, which I will be using for commemorative T-Shirts, decals,
etc.  I am working on a commemorative cloisonn? key chain.  Hope to see you
here in September.

Thank you and Happy Motoring,

Chris I want to first thank you for thanking Dale and Carol on behalf of the troops sparing me at least from further embarrassing them by reiterating what wonderful and tolerant hosts they have both been (particularly Carol) these last years.  I?d be running out of type.

I would also like to thank the ?New Guy?, who will likely never see this, for bringing such an interesting problem with his R65 to engage our minds for so many hours.  I?m always amazed at the trust the uninitiated put in us as we spin wrenches steadily disassembling their new to them problem bike.

And John Eckenrode, what can I say?  After last years main seal debacle you naively returned allowing us to ?assist? you installing those emulators on your RS.  Thank goodness Chris Kennedy was there to direct operations.  And please note that Chris knew that at the first cocktail it was time to lay down the tools till the next morning.  A sign of maturity most in this group have yet to attain.  Myself included.  Not sure where we would be without Chris?s guidance.  Hope you made it home OK John....

Bill Lambert old man.  How wonderful it was that you brought Mark Lipchitz?s Ronald MacDonald bike to our gathering.  Certainly bittersweet for me and others I?m sure.  I look upon that bike with new eyes and see it for the piece of art it is.  (Jim are you reading this?) Funny how time changes ones perspective.  I remember Mark saying once as he rode up on the bike and removed his helmet, I don?t want to hear about it!? cutting off any comment about the color scheme.  

And a quick thank you to our new associate Russ from Florida, on his fourth TechDay in a month of constant traveling, for his assisting Peter Gruner in adding the necessary wiring for rear light functions on Mark?s bike so no one gets arrested test riding the bike.

And a big thank you to myself for patiently draining Mark?s tank of the nasty degraded gasoline while the rest of you enjoyed a second cocktail.

The DC BMW Group.  Always look forward to seeing you guys too.  Steve and Dale it?s refreshing to know that after all these years you still trust Dale with regards to your motorcycles.  (If little else) It gives his newer Maryland friends confidence that eventually Dale might,  well, maybe, answer our newby questions.

You PA guys.  What am I saying, Guys, plural, Craig Barnhart alone, without fail, always steps up to to represent the PA crowd.  Craig is such an upstanding individual covering for the rest of you.  We are always glad to see him.  This year he brought his wife with him which is braver than the rest of us have managed.  

To our Air Marshall Will Andalora, never has there been such an inspirational wrench!  No matter how dire the technical difficulty appears to mere mortals Will is always there to see the problem to the end.  Even when most of the rest of the wrenches are slumped at the picnic table having far exceeded the kings ration of booze.  Not that our Air Marshal wasn?t keeping up, he is just so much more, hmmm, persistent than the rest of us.  To the benefit of us all! 

Alex Balmaceda.  An excellent wrench himself.  Showing up on Sunday morning of a three day event.  All the coffee was gone by then!  Always great to see you even if only for a few minutes.  Glad we could entertain your riding companions with a SlicedCycle demo run. 

Always great to see everyone. And Dale, good luck with the turtles.  I?d be interested to know how the soup turns out.

If I missed thanking anyone, my apologies. Probably time for my first cocktail as my memory seems to be fading out.

Evening Dale,

 ?

Want to thank Carol and yourself for providing the facility, tools, friendship and lovey dining for an outstanding weekend. I know I can speak on behalf of all that attended that the event was a smashing success. Particularly nice to welcome new Airhead to the fold.

 ?

Looking forward to coming back next year.

 ?

Cheers Chris

Chris I want to first thank you for thanking Dale and Carol on behalf of the troops sparing me at least from further embarrassing them by reiterating what wonderful and tolerant hosts they have both been (particularly Carol) these last years.? I?d be running out of type.

I would also like to thank the ?New Guy?, who will likely never see this, for bringing such an interesting problem with his R65 to engage our minds for so many hours.? I?m always amazed at the trust the uninitiated put in us as we spin wrenches steadily disassembling their new to them problem bike.

And John Eckenrode, what can I say?? After last years main seal debacle you naively returned allowing us to ?assist? you installing those emulators on your RS.? Thank goodness Chris Kennedy was there to direct operations.? And please note that Chris knew that at the first cocktail it was time to lay down the tools till the next morning.? A sign of maturity most in this group have yet to attain.? Myself included.? Not sure where we would be without Chris?s guidance.? Hope you made it home OK John....

Bill Lambert old man.? How wonderful it was that you brought Mark Lipchitz?s Ronald MacDonald bike to our gathering.? Certainly bittersweet for me and others I?m sure.? I look upon that bike with new eyes and see it for the piece of art it is.? (Jim are you reading this?) Funny how time changes ones perspective.? I remember Mark saying once as he rode up on the bike and removed his helmet, I don?t want to hear about it!? cutting off any comment about the color scheme.? 

And a quick thank you to our new associate Russ from Florida, on his fourth TechDay in a month of constant traveling, for his assisting Peter Gruner in adding the necessary wiring for rear light functions on Mark?s bike so no one gets arrested test riding the bike.

And a big thank you to myself for patiently draining Mark?s tank of the nasty degraded gasoline while the rest of you enjoyed a second cocktail.

The DC BMW Group.? Always look forward to seeing you guys too.? Steve and Dale it?s refreshing to know that after all these years you still trust Dale with regards to your motorcycles.? (If little else) It gives his newer Maryland friends confidence that eventually Dale might,? well, maybe, answer our newby questions.

You PA guys.? What am I saying, Guys, plural, Craig Barnhart alone, without fail, always steps up to to represent the PA crowd.? Craig is such an upstanding individual covering for the rest of you.? We are always glad to see him.? This year he brought his wife with him which is braver than the rest of us have managed.? 

To our Air Marshall Will Andalora, never has there been such an inspirational wrench!? No matter how dire the technical difficulty appears to mere mortals Will is always there to see the problem to the end.? Even when most of the rest of the wrenches are slumped at the picnic table having far exceeded the kings ration of booze.? Not that our Air Marshal wasn?t keeping up, he is just so much more, hmmm, persistent than the rest of us.? To the benefit of us all! 

Alex Balmaceda.? An excellent wrench himself.? Showing up on Sunday morning of a three day event.? All the coffee was gone by then!? Always great to see you even if only for a few minutes.? Glad we could entertain your riding companions with a SlicedCycle demo run. 

Always great to see everyone. And Dale, good luck with the turtles.? I?d be interested to know how the soup turns out.

If I missed thanking anyone, my apologies. Probably time for my first cocktail as my memory seems to be fading out.

Again, many thanks to Dale and Carol for their hospitality this past weekend.

I managed to arrive about five hours earlier than last year... and was greeted by many familiar faces. I came on four wheels instead of two this year and was eager to assist with other people's projects.  There were plenty to go around, and one in particular was very humbling.

Andre came from Manassas, Virginia with a new to him R65 that he could not get to run consistently. It was fitted with Mikuni 34mm round slide carburetors, a Motorrad Elektrik Alpha V.3 ignition system, and a BROWN Dyna coil.  We tried everything we could think of to get the bike to idle and run consistently... In the end we could not make the bike run as it should.  Andre, to his credit, left not dejected- but determined to contact Rocky Point Cycles for information on jetting and adjusting the carburetors. We also suggested swapping in a known good ignition system as a check against what was installed in his motorcycle.  With all the combined knowledge available (which should have been more than adequate), we simply could not make the bike run.

We spent time working on other motorcycles with measured success, but I was unsuccessful at replacing the speed sensor/odometer connection to the rear drive of my 93 Volvo 940. I will chalk that one up to mismatched components and the inability to get a positive connection between the sensor and wiring assembly.  That will have to wait for this coming weekend... We did manage to make Mark's bike come alive again with some carburetor adjustments and other modest interventions.

All in all, it was another fine weekend in Culpeper, VA. I was sad to have it end, and at the same time I am not sure I could have endured a third evening...

I am already looking forward to next year's event!

All the Best,

Will

For those of you who aren't on Facebook or didn't see my post, I'm
admitting defeat and putting her up for sale.  Just too many competing
demands for my time these days, and it's too nice a bike to just sit on the
lift in garage.  I don't believe I can attach photos to a post on this
list, but they're available upon request.  Call, text, or email if
interested.  717-542-4630  fourmohans at gmail.com.

32,900 miles.  VERY GOOD condition.  Absolutely loaded with upgrades and
accessories.

33-liter Jesse Bags aluminum panniers and mounts

Custom-made solo saddle

Unobtanium extended cargo rack

Aluminum bash plate (uninstalled)

YSS fork springs and adjustable shock

Braided stainless steel brake hose

Signal Minder self-cancelling turn-signals and running lights, LED bulbs

Beacon LED tail/stop light ? super bright!

Fiamm horn

Complete BMW tool kit plus many extra specialty tools (1st Aid kit,
Stop-N-Go tire-plugger, finned exhaust nut wrench, rotor-puller, carb
adjustment tool, etc [see photo])

Bike cover

R100GS-w/oil cooler oil change kit (will throw in)



Recently serviced at Hermy?s BMW:

Full annual service performed, all fluids fresh

Carbs and valves adjusted

Clutch cable replaced and adjusted

New Continental TKC 70 dual-sport tires installed

Westco sealed AGM battery installed



Bike is in very good mechanical condition and always maintained according
to factory recommendations (or more often, due to low mileage).  Paint is
in very good condition, with minor nicks and scratches.  Bike is clean, but
not concourse condition.  Title is clean and non-salvage.  It is a great
adventure-touring package with the Jesse Bags, the extended cargo rack, and
the solo seat, and will take you anywhere you want to go, reliably and in
comfort.  Asking $8500 firm, as is.  Will reinstall stock BMW bags, cargo
rack, and dual seat for a discounted sale price if you don?t want the
adventure touring upgrades.

Message-ID: <39e77e70-7b52-a7b9-9e10-a47c3cae1224@me.com>

Selling the 1974 R90S that belonged to my best friend and riding buddy 
who passed away in October 2017.? I am the 3rd owner.? The R90S had sat 
under cover on a patio since early 1997. High mileage bike ridden all 
over the US on many a cross country trip.? Original mileage around 
127-130k.

The R90S has been completely disassembled and restored. Nearly 18 months 
on the restoration project.? Engine was stripped to bare block and 
rebuilt using many new pieces.? Transmission disassembled and rebuilt 
with a new input shaft, all new bearings and seals.? The rear drive was 
torn down, inspected, new pieces and seals.? The driveshaft was worn so 
replaced with a cush-drive unit.? Wheels done with all new bearings, 
seals, stainless spokes, and drilled rotors replacing the stock units.? 
DelOrtos were in sad shape and replaced with new units.? Exhaust system 
is full stainless steel.? Shocks are Ikon units with covers.? Front 
suspension was refreshed with new seals, stops, and split rings.
Paint set is Daytona Orange smoke.? Originally bike was the black silver 
smoke but my buddy wanted to have Daytona Orange even if not correct for 
a 74.

Way too much to mention here that was done to restore this bike.? 
Attached text file has more details.

Pictures can be seen online at 
https://www.icloud.com/sharedalbum/#B0N5aDWbrxBshj. Additional pictures 
available showing bike as it arrived and work invested.

Asking price is $7500. Not interested in low ball offers.? Price is 
reasonably firm based on value, effort, and money invested. Clear 
Vermont historical title for cash sale.? Easily transferable.? Contact 
me for more information.
