Another consideration is the clearance of stamped fork brace and the edge of the tire. I know of a rider who mounted Avon Roadrider on a /6 and there was no clearance. I have a Spitfire on my R100/7...

Apart from removing the stand and welding it, I have used a stainless steel ribbon type hose clamp holding a piece of a cut up inner tube. If you position the clamp at the lowest point on the arc of...

Right side?,....chirping noise?,.....crank case breather?

Nothing more un-reliable up to the point where you are on the side of the road with no spark.

Mhhm-huh.

As a fixer-upper, the buyer would spend more $ than the bike would be worth for a very long time.

A savvy seller could get that kind of dough out of it in parts, given patience and...

I currently own and campaign examples of both versions of airheads.

1973 R75/5
1978 R100/7
1988 R100RS

The mono-shock RS feels more rigid and therefore more planted on the roadway. Combine...

My first thought was that a poor connection has done this to me in the past. Start with the easy stuff first.

If you are going to take the carb off, be sure to pull the main jet stack and dis-assemble it completely. There is an accelerator pump inside there with tiny passages that clog easily. The needle...

Amazing that you would mention that. Shoe Goop, more specificly "Kiwi Shoe Patch" is another product that gets used on my projects

On this very same application I used a product called "3M PLASTIC AND EMBLEM ADHESIVE", #08061. I use it on all kinds of rubber to plastic applications. A 5oz. tube is about $25 at NAPA. You can...

If the problem arose after fitting a different part #11, I'd check for a mechanical bind in the action of the transfer of leverage from the brake lever to the master cylinder.

Then after that, and...

Wezul, I hope your forecast holds. That would be among the nicest weather I've experienced at the Expo.

I am going to say "yes". The main frame is the same, the difference between the SWB and LWB being the swing-arm/drive shaft and the sub-frame. The part where the muffler hangers attach is on the main...

Be careful. You are trying to un-stick a transmission using motor torque when you should be using the rear wheel to deliver gentle spinning effort. Please fill the transmission with ATF and use the...

While Jack's knowledge and experience is impeccable, try everything possible before tear-down. I helped save a transmission in a long neglected '75, R75/6, that would only make first gear. The...

$2.05-9 moments ago at the station nearest to my house.

I ceased being a new rider right about the moment my BSA Thunderbolt hit the bottom of that ditch, circa 1982.

That's their job.

Perhaps we could establish a bacon and lobster cartel. May the SWAG be with you.

FIB operatives, as we speak, are securing alliances in the Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi corridor to effectively split the nation. If we were to open a southeastern front, we could...

While the cheeseheads, their sympathizers(Bradford),the YB's and the west coasters divvy up the swag, there is a horde of un-washed FIBS massing on the northern border of the flatlands. Victory shall...

Suppose I posted the following in "campfire" or "Airheads".

Some Riders Just Don't Get It-

My buddy, Potter, has decided to sell his airhead. An R75/6 that I helped him rescusitate from a near...

Without a doubt, this is the worst idea I've ever seen posted here.

Ah.. the shame of it all.....
Defeat jammed into the jaws of victory by the traitorous Bradford Benn.
This isn't over until WE say it's over.

Can I get an AMEN?

Note to Gerry; I love my R75/5 so much.... I traded my R1100RS for another R75/5. Now I have 1 for touring and 1 for commuting. It just doesn't get any better than this.
