Actually it is a replica, ask John about sometime. He told me about it when I noticed that the frt brakes he used weren't even in production when those cars were originally built. A very nice replica...

The SHED system definitely should go as the relays are prone to failure & problematic. Reroute the hoses as on an older Airhead & see if that helps your hot starting problem.
If you are referring to the R90/S that Ken Klaus recently restored & displayed it is still available. He's on the Yahoo R90/S list if you want to contact him. If you're thinking about an S its a good...
That was dusty not rusty!! I don't leave it outside. Fired it up tonight after making a few changes & will get out for a ride tomorrow to check things out. Its my only bike that gives wheelies on...
Depends if the lower plug holes were drilled for a standard size spark plug or one of the smaller ones. My dual plugged R90/S uses NGK BP6ES (long reach) on top & NGK BP6HS (short reach) on the...
After several years on the dark side (Aprilia, Ducati) I was drawn back to the light this summer by my LWB R75/5. Rode it to M. Friedle's Airhead meet in June & out to the National this month. The...
You might want to remove the art work before you show up for the trade in. The 05 Sprint has a great motor & almost looks like a Futura so it will be sort of like having an Aprilia.
I don't believe a 76 would have had any metal base gasket originally, only the 2 small o'rings & 1 large one + sealer. Thats the way my R90/S was & is. I thought 74 was the last year for the stock...
Non of the plastic body parts on the R65 require a flex additive & I would not advise adding one as it affects gloss. Any automotive paint supplier should be able to mix the Polaris as it was used by...
There's one on Ebay now at http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=4525230206&category=34284
Otherwise ask on the Pelican S list or check their parts section.
With my Aprilia it's just a matter of cracking the throttle in the lower gears although it will also lift the frt wheel while accelerating hard through the gears. I try to squeese at least one...
I had to change both head gaskets on my wife's 94 RS a couple years ago. They all fail eventually so its best to just replace both at the same time with the updated version. You will need to keep...
BMW stopped supplying paint kits awhile back but you can buy the correct Glasurit colors from Holt BMW in Ohio. I imagine you are referring to the red smoke paint scheme used on the 78 S. This is a...
Who in their right mind would ever sell a bike that sweet? I've owned it 24.5 years & have no intention of ever parting with it. There is an Aprilia twin & a Duc 907ie keeping it company in the...
The Morini V-Twin engine was a 72* V while the Ducati is a 90*. Here's a pic of my 82 3.5 Sport which shows the difference.
Certainly!! I bought a new Moto Morini 3.5 Sport in 1983 & still own it. Hermy Baver, a BMW/Triumph dealer still active in Port Clinton, Pa. imported the 250, 350 & 500cc models from the mid 70's...
I installed a pair of K12RS adjustable bars on my wife's 03 BC Prep. These give a much more comfortable riding position & allows back & forth adjustment similar to the R-RS.
Dragon - If you'd like info on the Wilbers shocks send me an email.
Bob's price for the Ikons had gone up along with everyone elses including Eurotech, the importer, before Bob cut his exclusive deal. The current pricing is a result of our soft dollar & much higher...
Most everyone I know that used to run the Progressive fork springs has switched over to the factory HD springs. The Progressive springs are too stiff initially & don't work well on the bumpy roads...
A nice alternative to the Progressive frt fork springs are the factory HD springs. These list for about $16 each & seem to soak up the small stuff much better then the Progressives.
From what I've seen no one matches the quality of the Staintune exhaust systems & they never need repacking. You will pay more then for a comparable Remus or Lazer but they will look & sound great...
It's kind of ridiculous to compare a new R11S to an 82 Darmah or any early 80's bike. Take a ride on an ST3 or ST4 & then get back on your S & the S may feel like an antique.
Another V-Twin option.
Try keeping the oil level mid window or lower & see if the level keeps dropping. Top of the window is really too high & the engine may just be pushing it out the breather system. Removing the valve...
